SYZYGY
A syzygy is when three bodies align
Such as planet Earth, moon and sun
It’s a rare event, when it may come
Or the union of opposites for some
For gnostics, when two become one
But always seen as a meaningful sign
In poetry, it is similar to alliteration
Two words join with vowel omitted
Offering dominant colour and tone
In modern poems, less well-known
Once begun, a reader is committed
But rarely causing any perturbation
All those for whom Scrabble matters
It is a most unusual yet clever choice
Shortest English word with three Y’s
On bonus squares, a scoring surprise
So say it loud with a confident voice
And leave other players all in tatters
