serry

Another word play for the day:


serry \SER-ee\, verb:


To crowd closely together.


Serry is from the Middle Frenceh serrĂ© which was the past participle of serrer meaning “to press tightly together.”


Serry in a poem by afonte


As I sit at my desk,


clicking the computer keyboard


to the rhythm of Mozart,


I see my late morning birds


as they serry around seeds


and soothe their fluffed feathers.
