PAD Day 25 Bonus: On Big Words

Here's another poem in response to the Poetic Asides prompt to use an intriguing or unusual word as the title of a poem:

Quotidian

Here I reside, 39 degrees North,

at the 75th West meridian,

where daily a poem is issuing forth -

my output is very quotidian.

But "quotidian" also means "everyday",

"ordinary", "routine", even "humdrum",

so regularly finding some new things to say

can get to be quite a conundrum.

I'll try to inject more poetical words

like "gossamer", "yore" and "obsidian",

but flowery language is just for the birds,

and so, I should think, is "quotidian".

There's no need to make all the language buffs squirm;

your logic need not be Euclidian,

to know "everyday" is an everyday term

used much more each day than "quotidian".
