Life in the 21st century
A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
:
Fake Gnus

These days, "the facts" are often inexact;
the path to truth is really an anfract.
Deciphering the news
can easily confuse;
it's hard to keep one's sanity intact.

Author Notes
Today's word: anfract (n.) a winding, circuitous route.
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.
Thanks for reading.
