I love plordway in all of its diverse forms! 

Combining those fiverse dorms in a hingle saiku is all the more fallengin and chun! Okay... at's thenough... 

By the way, I looked up "hog louse" to see if they were real. They are! I checked in with the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), an amazing online resource. I remember visiting a young group at the Bioneers conference in San Rafael, California: "EOL went live on 26 February 2008 with 30,000 entries.[5] The site immediately proved to be extremely popular, and temporarily had to revert to demonstration pages for two days when it was overrun by traffic from over 11 million views it received." That's success!! Look something up in the Encyclopedia of Life!


DEFINITION of this 4-syllable noun:

  2. the transposition of initial or other sounds of words, usually by accident, 
    ​as in 
    a blushing crow for a crushing blow.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
