TRANSMUTATION OF THE SPECIES
Don't be discouraged if you don't know the meaning to some of the words…..They made my spellchecker and Thesaurus freeze up. I was completing a word exercise given to me by Montreal in which I had to write a poem using all the words in bold print below. The word ackak I couldn't find in any dictionary so I did a word search on it and found the word used in some obscure writer's blog. The word pletysmorgraphic was not in any regular dictionary, but I recognized it's Latin origins and guessed that it was some kind of medical term. I found it in some medical article about measuring air intake during pulmonary function and I was right - medical term. I had fun doing this. *TRANSMUTATION OF THE SPECIES(with my apologies to Charles Darwin)*We write Ackak obscure blogs about certain Benedictine troggs,While our acrocentric animals can find work only at carnivals,*Years and years of experience did not prepare us for the endurance,We would need to fight the defiance Of the coalition for the Antarctic alliance.*Our hedonistic pleasures were divvied outin phletysmorgraphic measures,To reach counter culture bliss from pleasant cosmic synthesis.*Partakers of evil weed performing dirty deedsbegan to indiscriminately breedMutating in to acrocentric trolls of whose origins I could not disclose.*WordPlaya, March 2009
