Word of the Day

Why did I subscribe? I like to tell myself lies such as I would have exercised if it didn't rain; but this time, research is on my side. I have used in the past, the word of the day from dictionary.com as a prompt (back in April for National Poetry Month). I'll admit not all poetry produced was a delight but it got the juices going. Another reason to look at the word of the day is to increase my vocabulary so this time I am using the word of the day from overlymacadamia.com:

Sunday - palabra
Monday - calvous
Tuesday - (skipped)
Wednesday - scaramouch
Thursday - lorn
Friday - rejectamenta

As I peruse these rejectamenta palabras, I dream of partying with that scaramouch, The Mad Hatter, and wonder if wearer of hats really become calvous after a while. Overall, I find these palabras a bit lorn and in need of some modern words. What are other poets doing? One way to find out is to go to some poetry events. So let's go forth and explore some poetry events:
