Pamphlet

August 8 Word of the Day: Pamphlet

 


Beloved of all, these well-chosen words require less than a quire to exact their gratitude and adoration. Their embossed language fully visible upon the requisite pages configures all that now need be said, or could be said perhaps, at the moment of deepest composition. Pages that age upon their physical perfection and further more, slipping and drifting, continue so until fire or shred or neglect occlude their sincerest gesture. Beloved of all, these rags of riches, no more eternal than homages dancing on a silicon pin, transfer the best of current language in belief the personal wonder reaches and serves.

Forever

 August 7 Word of the Day: Forever 

Forever New the shop selling Forever and New in unquantifiable deliveries. Join the mailing list for Forever New bargains and updates of all the latest forever news. Brave fronts of the Forever New chain open across the metropolitan area, coming to a shopping precinct near you. Reports of a merger with an unnamed rival are overstated. Shareholders in Forever New are advised to stay calm. Likewise, rumours of a shift from department store to online warehouse must be taken with a pinch of salt. Recent fire sales at Forever New outlets are glitches, not a sign of things to come.

Golden wattle engulfs vision

Footpaths sprinkled with decisions

Dress sense testing temperatures

Timetables daylight rest assures

Freeways separate yes and no

Laptop loneliness summers show

Aeroplanes skylines afterglow
