Today's word: archiloquy (n.) the opening of a speech.

The opening two lines of my speech (poem) are shamelessly stolen from Romeo and Juliet, however my legal team advises me I can claim something called "fair use".

My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.

Thanks for reading.
