Dormant Words Poem by Douglas Scotney
Dormant Words
Words that are dormant
undergo resuscitation
for -ics, poet- and polit-.
For Mahatir M. of Malaysia
Paul Keating revived
'recalcitrant'.
For 'crippled and grey',
'halt and hoary'
a poet might say.
One did, who's 90 years late
('dead' not 'tardy'):
in 'The Pine Planters',
Thomas Hardy.
