misbegotten

bromeliad, Volunteer Park Conservatory, collagemisbegotten
summer —
the conservatory
crowded with visitors

. . . . . . .

The short boring definition of the OED word of the day wasn't enough for an erasure poem. The word is 'jobble.'
Don't feel bad if you don't know what that is: it was in use 500 years ago to describe a small load of hay. I'm thinking that the Oxford lads might be candidates for the reality show "Hoarders."

Pictured is another take on my new favorite bromeliad, this time as a collage.
