Agnes by Tony Cochran for July 16, 2022

Agnes is a poetrix.

I donate my dictionaries for both

English language just keeps expanding.

Well!! For once Trout didn’t knock Agnes down with her incessant criticism!!

I wonder what would happen if Agnes took her poems to school on opening day and showed them to her teacher as her summer project.

Yeah, yeah—straight to the principal’s office!!

Poor and misunderstood. Agnes has the making of a great poet or is that poemet, hum?

Rhymanism is hard work!

I think this is the word you’re looking for: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poetaster

Well, Trout, you’re close, you’re a “Pooter”… ☺

If you make up words and repeat them often enough, they become real things to the gullible

poetaster

Trout is unpretentious. She sticks to what she knows.

(Unlike me)

When you wish to plant seeds of doubt, You can always count on Trout.

Some of the greatest writers and poets are famous for the words they coined or using wordplay in their works. Go for it, Trout!
