Some Words/Phrases I’d Like to Coin As I Age
Harmomnemonic: tune that helps us remember something; i.e. who we are.
Noosetalgia: what hangs us up in the past.
No-wince situation: better than many alternatives.
Self-bleaty: oh, please!
Memammaries: thinking about them hurts the chest.
Musicafeelia: somehow makes it all better.
Sighlense – also useful.

Very much a draft poem for the wonderful Kerry O’Connor’s Flash 55 Plus prompt on With Real Toads to write a 55 word poem. The plus is to use a word that may not be translatable. Kerry gave a wonderful list of non-English words, but I thought I tried to come up with some of my own, beginning with a riff on mnemonic, an aide memoire.
Just about my favorite Harmomnemonic these days is Paul Simon’s American Tune. Below two alternative versions of the same song.
