Playing around with words, work in progress poem, Won't win me any big awards but it's fun to do. Although I did just get 2nd place in the 'First Draft' contest, sponsored by Suzette Richards. February 2024. :P

 

 

 

 

 

My son is an ophidiophile, a lover of snakes I am a limnophile, a lover of lakes and a bit of a wordsmith, for I love to write quite often a nyctophile, because I love the night I also love the moon, a selenophile am I a nephophile too, loving clouds in the sky Then there's javaphile, I'll drink to that because I'm a coffee loving poet, and that's a fact I love all my books, the old and the new the way that they smell, I'm a bibliophile too A logophile, an astrophile and a lover of dreams that means I love, so many Philes it seems There's only one, I've loathed from the start and that's the pedophile, I despise with my heart.

Congratulations on your win with this rhyme, Pivotal Poetry. It was a pleasure for this librocubicularist to meet a fellow legophile. By the use of this collection of unusual words, your poem was a perfect execution of the contest, First Draft, brief. What impressed me was that your poem wove the meaning or illustrated the definition of the words seamlessly into it.

Very clever P P. It's one thing to base a poem around a theme but to get it to read, flow and rhyme too is quite an achievement. It was certainly fun to read. Cheers - Gary
