Nine Princes in Amber, Chapter 2

Higgledy piggledy
Brothers and sister, by
Julian's huntsmen so
Hotly pursued,

Fight down the staircase of
Faiella-Bionin;
Rebma grants refuge, and
Corwin gets screwed.

Chapter 1

This one went through multiple iterations on a scrap of paper as I was driving home. Ever since I realized that "Faiella-Bionin" was a lovely double-dactyl hexasyllable I knew it was time to write the next installment. That and the fact that dropandgiveme50's word of yesterday (contradistinction) was so painfully close to being a hexasyllable but I couldn't do anything with it, brought back the double-dactyl bug.

I used 'contradistinctively' in a recent one. 447 google hits, so I didn't even need to flash my poetic license :)

After I posted this I thought of "contradistinguish(es/ing)" as a possibility, and dictionary.com confirms it's a word. So now I'm pondering uses for it.

Cool - that's my new word du jour
