Neologism - Philetics

I came across this word on another blog that was recording Neologisms. The word is philetics and it describes a very interesting genre of written material. The word philetics is a combination of the words philosophical and poetics. So any poetry that is philosophical in nature falls into this newly established genre of written word. Philetics can be written by anyone or any religious organization but the one that they are most often tied to is Buddhism and the various traditional philosophical poems and rhymes associated with it.
