A short poem

Sagacious

An unknown word to me
when you used it in a text.
I hurried to a dictionary.
My ignorance highlighted!
My love ignited!
Now no longer in my vocabulary

My first poem for over a decade (and that was an ode to Jon Purdie scorer of Kidderminster Harrier's 25-yard screamer/winner against Birmingham City in the FA Cup 3rd Round in 1994! My creative writing lecturer didn't like it - I had the last laugh though, he asked us to bring in an example of poor writing so I took his novel in!).
