The idea was put
words in a hat,
pull some out
Have something to write about.
Instead, I went to a long time friend
Who has served me well all my life.
Dictionary is the name,
Keeps me in the poetry game.
You might have to get out a bound copy to find some of the words.
The end of the alphabet isn’t easy.

This is really a fun way to stay in the game of poetry. I like every single word you chose! Like I told you, I need to explore my dictionary (and I do have an actual bound book) and find some inspiration.

A word of the day came up yesterday, slugabed, one of the words that first impressed me when I started reading the dictionary. Might use it as a prompt. Just love words.
