(You know mer-sea doats and doe-sea doats.)<br /><br />That's another curious thing: words of the form AB (as we say in computer theory) where <br />the meanings of A and of B are the "same" but A is in another language from B... Ah, maybe a homopolylog? Oy.<br /><br />Incidentally, I goofed that quote from Rush. It should say "parade from paradise" - I don't know how I distorted it into "rain" which is not anagrammatic.<br /><br />I would like to see your anagrammatic poem when you do it.

"entolog" pleases me. The phenomenon could be entologia.<br /><br />Richard Wilbur wrote a children's book called "The Pig in the Spigot" which is all about such words:<br /><br />When there’s a pig inside your spigot, you<br />Must not cry out, “There’s nothing I can do!”<br />Be sensible, and take the obvious course,<br />Which is to turn the spigot on full force.<br />Sufficient water pressure will, I think,<br />Oblige the pig to flow into the sink.<br /><br />some guy: My goodness, you're right!

I'd love to express it as some form of echo --- I think when I did my last accademic poetry (ten years! oh my!) we had <i>internal rhyme</i> for rhymes that were reaching out from between the middle of words, wherever they sat. "Internal echo" maybe?<br /><br />But there <i>should</i> be a better <i>word</i> for it. Something more like "gondola", or "willow".some guy on the streethttp://epistle-null.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
