Dictionarily Challenged
I wander alone among the unknown
Seeking the meaning of what is not shown
Have I stumbled upon something anew
Known by only a few unable to view
Shall I summon a source literary dark horse
Found purely by force on a twisted course
Refer to the guide as I take this short ride
Reveal this new side attempting to hide
Needing this release I call the police
Search for my peace hoping to cease
Open the book to have a good look
Wondering aloud
Copse?

Ha! I had to look it up too, my friend. I like to go to etymonline.com for the history of the word in question. The search is a kind of contemplation. Each word is a poem in itself.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your work. Thanks for being here.
I'm glad you have taken my sarcastic lazy approach in the spirit in which it was delivered my friend!
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate learning new words and improving my vocabulary through various means, but I feel my level of writing is not one that should require a dictionary! I anxiously await next week's prompt :-)
Great (and unique) work there... Your "approach" to the poem was intriguing... And, lovely, lovely, rhyming! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteYou have strung some fine words together here.
ReplyDeleteI also had to look this word up. I however did not post my wee poem for this word. Still, I enjoy visiting to see what you and others have done.
