Autoplay

A farm run by soldiers
on the Israeli side of a border,
in a word,
is a what?

The leaf of a gingko,
ginkyo,
is fan-shaped,
rhipidate;

a temple in Greece is a naos;

nannygai is Aboriginal for a fish,
taipan for a snake;

silver in China is yin,
apricot is hing;

a crown is a taj,
glorious is mahal;

that farm over tunnels -
a nahal.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

As far as I know, you have coined the words 'gingko', 'naos', and maybe 'nahal'. You do offer a passing comment on the Taj Mahal even so. Unconventional but successful.
