It's a place of oblivion. (A sad situation!) / You should bend over backward to avoid this location.

Books of a series, in a book case. / A good name for these books, since they do take up space.

A five-letter word with one vowel, at the end: / The most nondescript phoneme with which we contend!

The idea that this is life's greatest gift? / Poems, songs aplenty will back it. / It could be a big fat zero, though, / If you're on a court holding a racket.

They're units of distance. It's like the poet said: / Frost must go this far to reach the winter bed.

This energetic spirit, this "go" can't be topped. / Written in block capitals? It's your speed when you are stopped.

This land mass on Earth can make an odd claim: / It's rather large in size but rather short in name.
