Twarvlement, eh? That sounds like the kind of word the good Doctor Seuss would've had a major blast with. Some kind of tree of pollution belching vehicle. Thank my lucky stars this was a post of importance and I with my usual perspicacity divined the deeper meaning instantly.

Great post, Craig. And, you caught up too!

Gloria

Good word for today. I have to say it a few times to get a feel for it. It seems to be a word to go with Trump. Our Canadian PM suits that word too. What a buffoon. You're doing fine with these words each day. Yay you!

    Yes, I thought of incorporating him into this little thing, but a few people would say I spend more than ample time bashing that particular nincompoop. I thought everybody loved Justin? I must pay more attention. Muchas gracias, Joy - Craig

Haha ... a "twarvlement" ... I love this word and shall use it. This is a clever write, Craig. It had me smiling. I laughed at "Hell's bell's" ... (hell's bells) ... a term I haven't heard in a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed your "meticulously planned" poem, and I think that your fourth stanza with the queries is particularly appealing. Thanks for another new word, Craig! ~~ Connie

    Thanks for the catch with that extra apostrophe, Connie. "Meticulously planned" might have been stretching the truth just a tiny bit, but don't tell anyone OK? ;-) Most grateful for your kind and helpful review :) Craig

A very well-written twarvlement poem thT seems to be long winded about matters that nay be of great importance to us to understand where we come from.

What a wild word you have come up with today or found. I never heard it before. You used very good descriptive words telling this with this new word included. Very good words and imagery. Blessings, Teri

Craig, as written, it's not clear if your poem suggests that the statements you're questioning are true. For your warning to be effective, I think it's important for you to ensure that the reader knows which side of the issues you support.

(Thanks for "twarvlement." There's certainly a ot of it in the air these days!)

    Haha. Thanks Don. As soon as I've figured out what those issues are, and which side I'm on, I'll get straight on to that :) Much appreciated - Craig

I think this poem is very well written. Thanks for giving the meaning of twarvlemen because I didn't know what that meant but I read your meaning and it made since to me. Keep writing.

Twarvlement is such a great-sounding word. What rhymes with it, I wonder. Probably nothing. Oh, wait! Marvelment. Woohoo! Now I can write a poem with it. :)
