[Chris O'Carroll]

At "Accomplished Members," Nausheen Eusuf has noted the Wordsmith website features "epigram" as the word of the day for March 10, and gives prominent play to Susan McLean's collection of translated Martial epigrams in its discussion of that word. Hooray, Susan.

Yesterday's word of the day was "clerihew," and the rest of this week will feature three more words that are names of light verse forms. Readers are invited to submit original poems in all five forms, and prizes (non-cash, alas) will be awarded.
