AGORAPHOBIA ~ Fear of Open Spaces

ORIGIN ~ Fear of Market Places ! 

 

BAROQUE ~ A style with elaborate swirl

ORIGIN is a misshapen Pearl !

 

CROQUET ~ A game with Balls through Hoops

ORIGIN ~ Stitching with lots of Loops !

 

DELIRIUM means to be DERANGED

EPHEMERA ~ They quickly pass away

ORIGIN is a Fever that lasts only One Day !

    A fine write Brian. I often spelt it 'Agorophobia', bit it's 'Agoraphobia' - the Roman 'Agora' open-space, market-place?
    But the opposite is 'claustrophobia', not 'claustraphobia'!
    I could do with knowing more words for me rhyming stuff!

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      SPELLING IS IMPORTANT ~ BECAUSE THE AGORA Is the Market Place in Greek ! Also with CLAUSTRO is an enclosure ~ Learning words which are opposites (like EXOTHERMIC ~ gives out heat & ENDOTHERMIC ~ takes in heat !) can be useful in a POEM etc ! Thanks BRIAN

      Erm, I have a 'series' too sometime, though it's on 'Formal Funerary Prayers' (funerals). Sounds gloomy, but it's not!

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks STEVE ~ Celebratory Funerals can be very uplifting ! I want my Horse Drawn Hearse to be preceded by a JAZZ BAND ~ Playing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN.
