I used to get confused between albedo and albumen.
That's a great word. Hard to write a poem around a word without it seeming forced, though...I find I have to let myself "forget" the word, then let it come back in organically a few months later.
Have fun readng in May with Kathleen Flenniken. She's great!
Glad you enjoyed the word, A, S.
I love A-Word-a-Day. It keeps the doctor away!
