POETS' CORNER, part #1

CURRENT CONTENTS

Addiction to limerick writing 

Authorly skill

Blogosphere

Bold-faced / bald-faced

Cans and Can'ts (argumentively)

Collaboration

Creative writing (decompose)

Depressed limericist

(for continuation, see the link below)

Authors' Note: The mental disorder in which sufferers (including the author) feel endlessly compelled to write limericks might be dubbed limerrhea, hyperlimerosis, or more simply, limerick addiction. 

    Volunteer writers and editors toil away for OEDILF, the online humour dictionary, but the project is not likely to be finished until 2070. 

    

Authors' Note:    Our blog, 'Edifying Nonsense', promotes several forms of creative nonsense, including collections of humorous and definitional poems overlapping with those submitted to OEDILF, an online collaborative writing-site. (parenthetically, accepted OEDILFian verses boldface the attributed key word that is ‘defined’ in the poem. On occasion, the partly completed collections are offered to OEDILFian editor-colleagues as a 'temporary Author's Note', to provide context for the cooperative editing task of rehashing a verse that is still in tentative status.

     

Authors' Note: 'Creative writing' is a term that has been applied to fiction in prose, but seems to have omitted from its purview fictional poetry accounts, such as those honored on this blog.  

Authors' Note: In the above limerick verse, neologisms include:

dehiscitude (reminiscent of 'dehiscence') 

remissitude (reminiscent of being 'remiss' in the sense of 'culpable') 

wound dehiscence, or 'failure of primary (wound) closure', is a feared surgical complication, found mostly in the province of abdominal surgeons and trauma surgeons; it seldom affects the professional practice of psychiatrists or limericists.

Not before we need it: PLANET-SAVING VERSE #1

CURRENT CONTENTS:
Beach foam
'Clean' coal
Compostables
Coy koi (introduced species)
Drought
Enzootic ending
Fur-farming
Invasive species

(for continuation, see the link below)

Authors' Note: In the polarized United States, the term denier, sometimes specified as science denier or climate-change denier, is taken to mean a person who denies either the existence or human causation of global warming.

Another discussion of clean coal can be found in an OEDILF verse by contributing editor Dr. Work:

We are led to believe that clean coal

Should be sought as a practical goal:

To store carbon dioxide

Deep under the dockside

Or pumped very deep down a hole.

Authors' Note: The Amur carp, Cyprinus rubrofuscus, is a long-lived freshwater fish native to extensive areas of Eastern Asia. Centered in the Niigata prefecture of Japan, breeders have taken advantage since 1820 of genetic variability in the color of fish-scales to produce variants in a variety of remarkable decorative colors that may be further enhanced by selection and cross-breeding. Nishikigoi ('brocaded carp'), less formally referred to as koi ('carp'), have been recently pursued further as a hobby and as a commercial interest in various Asian countries.

On every continent, koi populations have 'escaped' and become established as invasive intruders in freshwater ponds and streams (where their color eventually reverts to that of undomesticated Amur carp). As koi characteristically alter the environment, increasing the turbidity of freshwater bodies, native species have been displaced.

You can watch the koi swimming when you view the verse on out "Daily " website.

Author's Note: Pretty much a true story. 

Authors' Note:  Having suffered the ravages of Covid-19, has humanity's ability to cope with outbreaks of infectious disease improved? Not too much. This pessimistic verse was written after seeing a TV documentary revealing updates on what we have learned about the potential threats of further epidemics.
