Word Challenge of Eight:
Reading poems of late
I found myself homing
In on the word "GLOAMING"
To the point that I felt accosted
By the poems that it FROSTED;
For me, now, "gloaming" is FOREVERMORE cliche;
While "PATHOS" tossed me for a loop with its long 'a'--
The pronunciation of that syllable
Was, to me, UNPREDICTABLE
By now, it should be CRYSTAL clear
This entry's not VALIANT or sincere;
There -- I've admitted my folly,
Feeling contrary to MELANCHOLY
