Too soon?
A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
:
That sinking feeling
by CD Richards

This story is not a distortion,
a ship set to sea without caution.
In twain it was cleft,
just lagan was left—
a wreck of Titanic proportion.
|
Author Notes
Today's word: lagan (n.) goods or wreckage lying on the sea bed.
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.
