Author's Notes: So, here's the thing. I wasn't sure if I'd post anything today or not but was clearing out the near-mythical WIP folder on my computer and came across a file with the words above. I have no idea why I had saved a file with those words, but I am glad they did because I loved the resulting poem.

Cos I feeling kind. There are links to each of the words. You're welcome.

    I love that, when you brain squirrels things away for until the "right time"!! Clearly now was the right time, great work Paul!!!

    I, too, collects big words. I keeps them in a jar on my desk and opens it when I needs one. They is hard buggers to catch. On the serious side, this is a well-crafted acrostic , sir!

    I don't understand many of these words, but I love the mysteriousness of it! It also gave me the chills - this piece defintely has energy!

    Quite the word list. Mostly all from a medical dictionary it seems. Being a nurse pretty much remember them somewhat. Good work. Maybe you were going to write an article on various terms or something.

    I feel like your experimental approach to poetry is some of your best!

    Well, I've learnt a lot of new terms today from that piece. I do like the way that you throw ideas around. This is on the surface a list of words but when you add the acrostic element and the meanings of them all, it brings the form and makes it into something that morphs into a picture, a sense of what you wanted your reader to glean when you chose those words. I like it. It's like a magical mystery tour.
