This was difficult! A haiku for Ronovan’s challenge. I just discovered the word, marcescence today, so I had to get it in somewhere.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
And there is a good chance
Leafing through the dictionary
Figuring meaning of marcescence
Thinking how does it fit
Ah, what won’t we do for
Chance to be slim
The slim chance was so obvious it was hard to chink of anything else!
😅😅😅
Very clever Jane I had to look marcescence as well. Well you did it beautifully. 💜
Thank you! I hadn’t heard of it until this morning either.
An interesting word 😀
It is.
Yes
I learned something new too, Jane! 🙂
I love these new (to me) words 🙂
Me too!
I have relatives like that
I don’t know whether I ought to congratulate or commiserate!
I had to look it up, too. Great word and well done!
It doesn’t have the same sleekness as petrichor, but it’s a good one to know 🙂
🙂
Yay, a “new” word! We are all such nerds…getting excited by looking up a definition! Ah, it is wonderful…
I’ll have to note it down or I’ll forget it 🙂
Lovely.
Thank you!
You nailed it! Beautiful!
Thank you, Michelle 🙂
