Poetry: The right word

by Carol Relf Kondrat

Created on: April 09, 2010


Word History


Serendipity

A musical word

Serene and quiet it begins

Then gallops off with a staccato cadence.

More than a word from Walpole,

Coined by Horace in 1754.

"Three Princes of Serendip"

A Persian Fairy Tale

About finding something good

Quite accidentally.

A word coined in history

Exists still today.

To accidentally learn?

What a wonder!

Serendipity
