This week's words of the day required some thought. I suppose expanding your vocabulary will do that, so I should be pleased with the mental stretching. I do find it interesting that although I think I understand a word when reading the definition, once I try to use it in context I struggle. At this point I realize that I have not yet fully understood it so I need to go back to the definition and read some other examples. Time well spent, when it adds a hitherto unknown word (to me, at least) to this rich language of ours.

As a reminder, I'd love to read your own haikus in the comments. A haiku has three lines, the first and last have five syllables and the middle line has seven. It does not need to rhyme.
