Pivotal Poetry Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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

 

 

 

 

 

I'll have Philes with that - First Draft

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.

Suzette Richards February 11, 2024 at 2:26 AM 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.

Gary Radice January 31, 2024 at 7:52 AM 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 Pivotal Poetry January 31, 2024 at 6:54 PM Thank you, I try to be clever...sometimes, haha. :P
