Friday's blog will offer you a haiku for each weekday, featuring dictionary.com's word of the day. I'd love to read your own daily word haiku in the comments. I won't insult your intelligence by typing out the definition of each word as we all know how to use a dictionary. As a reminder, a haiku is a Japanese poem which rarely rhymes and is constructed of three lines: the first and last line each have five syllables, the middle line has seven.

Monday: paralogize

Lacking common sense,

You paralogize us to

The wrong conclusion!

Tuesday: bonzer

Superb, fantastic

Awesome, spectacular; are

Bonzer synonyms.

Wednesday: troglodyte

Hater of classics,

Grammatically incorrect.

Hello, troglodyte!

Thursday: muckrake

Should we believe them?

Beware the politician -

Scandalous muckrake.

Friday: whiffler

Swaying in the breeze

A whiffler changes often,

Not one to commit.
