Common Vocabulary

I could use common vocabulary, but to be honest I never liked it; The dictionary or the library, a scavenger hunt I’ll gladly commit; Buried within a myriad of books, or a placement on some forgotten list; Oh, the poetry that a word unhooks! Without that piece it’s so easily missed; Recalibrating an old phrase with flare, rearranged letters liven up the line; Describing the vision that pen laid bare, synonyms and a timeless theme combine; I could say it the way the others do but it would come off as only half-true.
