CLERIHEWS IN THE NEWS This contest is now closed. But enjoy! (Click here to go directly to the winning entries.) W hat's a clerihew? It's a bit of rhyming doggerel invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). In its traditional form, it's a four-line verse made up of two rhyming couplets, and its purpose is to offer a satiric or ridiculous biography of a famous person. Here are three of Bentley's own clerihews: Sir Humphrey Davy Detested gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium. George the Third Ought never to have occurred. One can only wonder At so grotesque a blunder. Sir Christopher Wren Said, "I'm going to dine with some men. If anyone calls, Say I'm designing St. Paul's." You may have noticed that the meter in these examples is irregular. It's *supposed* to be, see, for comic effectwhich is good news for all us metrical klutzes! In a clerihew, all notions of scansion are gleefully torpedoed! Now, we want you to submit an original clerihew in the traditional style, but we want you to concentrate on a more up-to-date celebrity. Let's limit our subjects to people who've been in the news from, say, 1975 to the present. We won't be too strict about this. But we'd like these clerihews to be topical. For example: Tom Hanks Has accounts in fifty banks.

Y es, it's clerihew time again at The Atlantic Monthly and this year we're going Hollywood! But first, a refresher course: The clerihew is a bit of rhyming doggerel invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). Traditionally, it's a four-line verse made up of two rhyming couplets, with meter intentionally (often ridiculously) irregular. Its purpose is to offer a satiric or absurd biography of a famous person. Here are three of Bentley's own concoctions: Sir Humphrey Davy Detested gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium. George the Third Ought never to have occurred. One can only wonder At so grotesque a blunder.

home music details highlights schedule ... Classic FM Breakfast Word of the Day: Friday 20 December 2002 clerihew Kel Richards writes A clerihew is (like a limerick or sonnet) a type of verse. To be more specific, a clerihew is a comic four-line verse, consisting of two couplets of varying lengths, usually dealing with a biographical subject matter. This verse form is named after the man who invented it Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). He spent most of his life as a journalist on the staff of first the Daily News and then the Daily Telegraph in London. For the Daily Telegraph he was first a leader writer, and then Chief Literary Critic. Bentley was a good friend of G K Chesterton and part of that literary set. In 1913 (under the name E C Bentley) he published what is still regarded as a classic among detective novels: Trent’s Last Case. Earlier he had invented this strange comic verse form, a collection of which was published under the title of Biography for Beginners (1905). This was followed by More Biography, Baseless Biography and Clerihews Complete. Here’s an example of one of Bentley’s clerihews: Sir Christopher Wren Said, ‘I’m going to dine with some men.

Lyle Berry 7 Members + 40 Guests Poetry: The Forms and the History The Cinquain, Clerihew and Haiku by Catherine Wilson (Age: 26) 4 Ratings - Ave: 8.25 Age Rating: 13 to 127 Cinquain The word Cinquain is derived from the French word for five. An American poet named Adelaide Crapsey invented the Cinquain. She wrote a lot of poems with this format in the last years of her life. She died early, at the age of thirty-six. The Cinquain is a short, 5-line poetry form, with a distinct pattern. It looks easy to write because the format is short; however, don't be fooled. This is a good poetry format for beginners because it is short, and you don't worry about rhyming. You concentrate on selecting words that create the effect you want to create. Yet, this format is also good for more experienced poets because it is challenging to write in such a short format.

37. Eponyms Eggs Benedict, Commodore EC Benedict (18341920), American banker and yachtsman. clerihew,Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), English writer. http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/eponyms.htm

Eponyms An eponym is a word derived from the name of a real, fictional, mythical or spurious character or person. Most eponyms originate from a person's surname: boycott , for instance, from the Irish landlord Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott; dahlia , from the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; the sousaphone , from the American bandmaster John Philip Sousa; and volt , from the Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta. Many eponymous words come from literary, biblical or mythological sources: malapropism , from Mrs Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals Dickensian , from the English writer Charles Dickens; as old as Methuselah , from the age of the Old Testament patriarch; and aphrodisiac , from the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. There are thousands of eponyms in everyday use in English today and study of them yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the world's most popular language and its development. Here are some more examples of names that have been immortalised in such a way. A B C D ... T U V W X Y Z A abeli Clark Abel (1780-1826), British botanist
