Crazy ideas


I had a wild idea. But the more I think about it, the less wild it seems. That doesn't mean I will ever get it done, but I will continue to think about it.


I have a dictionary app on my iPad. It gives a new word each day, with a definition and an example of the use in a sentence. My wild idea is to try to write a poem each day using that day's word.


Will I? Maybe. I will certainly try, but seriously folks, today's word is Furphy.
Definition Australian: false report, rumour.
Sentence example
I didn't mention your dad but I said it had probably never been more than a rumour, a furphy put about by Lew Broughton.
-- John Charalambous, Silent Parts , 2006

How do I write about something like that? So maybe, I will be a bit more picky and maybe pick one word each week.

Wish me luck. I'm going to try this.

Brooksy. Do you know that autocorrect wants Brooksy to be
Bro okay?

Anyhow, I do plan to make the attempt. I think the challenge will be fun. It could expand my vocabulary and get my creative juices flowing again. Or it could just be an epic failure. But I won't know if I don't try. So. The only word I can think of to rhyme with Furphy, is Murphy. Don't expect brilliant poetry. LOL. But I will try to male it fun, if I can.
