It was a fun challenge, as always.

And in my mind, Author, I have an image of said actor, with one arm, smiling saucily at his fellows, his arterial blood pulsing across the scenery about 8 or 10 feet, as he says with a chipper voice, "Does anyone have a band-aid?" lol Panglossian? LOL

Perfect image! Thanks for a great review!

Contest requirements: Poem should highlight/explain/define an obscure word.
I think for it to do that, it has to be used in the poem itself. You defined it, as required in author notes, but the intent seems to be to show the word's use in the poem.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the heads up. I was confusing the rules with the one for the teacup dictionary. Have revised accordingly.

This is a fun entry for the 797 obscure word contest. Your syllable count is correct. I love how you described this with humor. The knight's arm is severed, but he thinks it is nothing. I have never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but I'm guessing they took the word from Voltaire's Candide. There is a character named Pangloss who is optimistic. Great word choice. Great job and thank you for sharing.

A new word to me, but I like it very much! Your few words describe it perfectly and amputees often say they can feel the severed limb even when it has been removed. I like this guys attitude! Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

If I had the choice, I?d rather be an optimist than a pessimist. I had never heard of this word before either. Live and learn!
