Dear Steve,
I have made a careful note of these wonderful extensions to the great English language and look forward to their inclusion in the MacQuarie or even the Oxford.

Hilarious! Creative and clever. Unique. A superb entry for the contest with many interesting new words and a fine title choice, too. Made me chuckle. Good flow and rhyming and fine presentation. Probably will win my vote.
Bravo

Comment from Joannforsberg
clap, clap, clap....
What a fun written poem on creating new words.
Thank you for explaining the meanings at the bottom. Yet, your poem flowed so well, it was understandable as is.
I especially like the word: sonneteer.... I think I need to learn more about writing that way, and create some poems.
Blessings, Jo

Comment from AddrieWritesThings
As an English Major, this tickled me to no ends. I love that you have used strange and uncommon words to make up a prompt. It's pretty interesting. The context, like one would assume, makes up for a lot of the dis-knowledge of some of the words. It's fun and light. So different than what I'm used to reading. I don't much go outside my own genre, so this is pretty great.

Hmmm - not everyone's cup of tea apparently - it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing to enter a poem for this - just me being contestful I guess.

How could I not give this a six? It is BRILLIANT!!!! No way will I enter this contest, as much as I love words, and possibly try to compete with this masterpiece. Kudos! Can't imagine how this can be beat. Hugs, Sue

Comment from Curly Girly
LOL! This was very good, as you well know, I liked it a lot. I like the 'meaning' of the word as described by your author's notes! Well done and keep the ball rolling, CG.

Comment from Treischel
I found this poem very cleverful! Quite a humorous romp executed in a masterful way. The Shakespearian character used as artwork was perfectly suited to the piece. I particularly enjoyed verboflatulent. Boy, I'd hate to play scrabble with you! Good luck in the contest. Magnifiworthy!

Hey, Scrabble would be easy if you could only make up your own words as you went along - QUVXJKZ on a Triple Word Score!
Thanks for the fun review.

Comment from Sally Carter
I'm snortling with delight at your confectulation. Totally rhapzuberant.
How come I never saw this one? It must have had a very short submission period. Still, even if I had, I would never have produced something as zappalicious as this.
Loud applaudiations to you.

Thanks, Sally - yes, I think it was an almost instant contest. I know I whipped this up in half an hour!
Love your made up words too - they rival anything I could come up with.
