Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Floating In Dreams

Often, I get lost in my thoughts,
   in my inglenook by my hearth-
      I unwind knots;
all need these quiet spots,
          to gather words in our mind;
            to leave our sempiternal tears.

I drift, I float away in dreams,
   lost in a riporian scene -
      of rocky streams;
where I can create themes,
          I never know what I will find,
             as I go back in time and years.

Many thoughts take me to childhood,
   where I gangoozled in the green-
      happy I stood;
by my high fort of wood,
          where my child words and dreams twined;
             and I whispered fugaciou prayers.

Five Unusual words used -
inglenook - a cozy nook by a hearth
sempiternal -  eternal
riptorian - by the bank of a stream
gangoozled - to stare
fugacious - fleeting

I picked these unusual words because I like to find words that are not
used these days in normal speech and writing, and because I am fascinated
with dictionary's of all kinds, I found this dictionary called Alphadictionary. 
It is full of unusual words and I am happy for the opportunity to use some
of the words found within for this poem.
