Hi, Craig,
I read through this word playful poem a while ago. It uses a riddle quality and rhyme to play with the theme of the day, ... kind of made me think of the Young Frankenstine where... the brain he got was from Abby ... Abby Normal. (Only in the sense of using the theme as the name to pull together rest of the poem here.)
Fun to read.

Haha, wasn't that a great movie?
"Werewolf? There wolf!"
"Put.the.candle.BACK!"
Thanks for the lovely comments, Turtle.

Great word - I didn't now there was a word for it, though I've seen it happen. Nicely written rhyming poem for this 'revival' poem Craig.
cheers,

Hi Craig. Great rhyming in this interesting poem. I like the rhyme pattern used in this one and the psychosis/biosis. Good introduction to today's word: anabiosis. Marilyn

Haha, what a fun poem, Craig. I enjoyed reading it--almost limerick like. You did a good job with the rhyme and 'silly' [your words] story. I like the picture you paired with your poem, too. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Comment from Gloria ....
I love the poetic ambiguity and cryptic quality of this fine verse, Craig. Of course I was trying to think of the answer to the riddle and it could be any number of things, which makes this a most meaningful verse. The female name of course works perfectly in helping us remember.
Great job and only 121 to go, yes?

I make it 125, but who's counting? lol (thank for pointing that out). Most grateful :)

Good one but it seems that in the medical field, there is lots of cases of anabiosis such as forcing heart to stop to jumpstart it again, and then there are lots of plants which seem to "die" and come back up in another season. So I wouldn't consider Ms. Ana Biosis psychotic.

I guess it depends on what her "evidence" was, Helen. If she could pull off a tardigrade like effort, then I'd be impressed :) Cheers, Craig
Comment from Debbie Pope
I will remember Miss Ana from her eye. That eye is a great photo to use for Ana's
particular psychosis.
This word actually sounds useful. When I type it, the auto correct doesn't change it. I hope to remember the word. I know, however, that I will remember your riddle. That was a great way to start your poem.

Craig, This is a very interesting poem you have penned with a brand new word I did not know. You explained it well with good words in notes and nice imagery from the art work picture you chose. Blessings, Teri

Comment from Robbie Yates
This one is extra quirky, Craig - I love it! What a wonderfully curious poem. Your use of rhythm is great here, and I like the rhyme structure (AAAB, CCCB). Very nice.

Such a fun play on words to use your focus as a person's name! Like the trick as it certainly leaves an impression on the reader assisting with remembering the actual word itself! :) ;)
As always, sir, thank you for sharing! :) :) Yvette

Thanks so much, Yvette. I think I agree, if I could turn all these words into names, I might stand a chance of remembering more of them :) Cheers, Craig
