Ode to writing

'Twas not so very long ago,
my life became more rosy;
for I now have my thoughts in print,
thanks to bibliopoesy.

Author Notes
Today's word: bibliopoesy (n.) the creation or publication of books.
I wondered why my writing was progressing more slowly than I would like, then I realised... I had no paper in my typewriter!
Thanks for reading.
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.
