Prestigiatory po-em

best guesses

and conclude
that was deep
so relatable

to say something that could have been said
clearly
in such a way that people
wonder

using less words
brings out

Day 2 of me not participating in #naPoWriMo 🙂

The prompt today invited us to visit HaggardHawks “an account devoted to obscure and interesting English words.” Of course I couldn’t resist. When I was browsing the interesting words I pictured myself writing a very intelligent sounding poem just be be able to use such a beautiful word. I wrote this instead – and afterwards found a word that I could use for the title to make me on prompt.
