A limerick about migration
A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
:
Tree change

Poor young Phil was quite misunderstood
and detested his own neighbourhood.
So he did something strange,
undertook a tree change;
cosmognosis changed Phillip for good.

Author Notes
Today's word: cosmognosis (n.) the natural instinct that tells a creature when to migrate.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
