Wacky Word Wednesday - Dern

Dern

by Rachel Hoyt

image by Master isolated images via freedigitalphotos.net

To learn someone's dern,

First trust must be earned,

Then dark secrets are learned,

Which may lead you to yearn,

To un-know what you learned,

Return secrets earned,

Regain mystery, the dern.

I'm sorry for the lack of notice, but I've decided to quit
posting wacky word rhymes here for a bit.
I'm pondering compiling these (and more) poetic definitions
into one of my very first book submissions.

Bacchanal

At a bacchanal

it is hard to tell

who's ill and who's well

for alcohol's spell

dings the crowd's bell

at a boisterous bacchanal.

Sook

by Rachel Hoyt

image by Stuart Miles via freedigitalphotos.net

I would not want to be a sook,

finding adventure in movies and books,

determined to stay in one nook -

a cowardly person, a sook.

Wacky Word Wednesday - Antapology

Antapology

(an ta PO lo gy)

 

by Rachel Hoyt

 

image by bigjom via freedigitalphotos.net

 

An antapology

is not an ant's apology

nor does it mean not sorry -

It's the reply to an apology,

sayings like, "Oh gee.

No need to cry for me."

 

That's an antapology.

Inhibit your joy selfishly -

Might also be described as lippy,

A 'debate' starter - xanthippe.

You just tear off your halter,

And dance wildly, balter.
