The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Words

“Whirligig” speaks to me
of the water boatman beetle
that you so often see
spinning centripetal.

Whereas “zany” sounds American
though old Bill may have coined it
and he was such a merry man
it’s possible he purloined it.


Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 05.09.25
Prompt: Whirligig and zany.
