Challenged by NaPoWriMo to use ten words from some hypothetical specialist dictionary I am meant to have lying around the place, I sniffed miffily and went online to play with Scrabble dictionaries. Prepare yourself for a short, sharp burst of alliteration. Ooooooooo…..
(Also, this video of a diving sea otter)
Observe the otter oscillate
and over-roll, obsidian-wet,
ogive-headed oceanaut,
oligarch of oysterbeds ornate
as origami from the Orient,
his ogee-outline oiltight,
ombré, opalescent.
