My Thesaurus (a sonnet)

The love of my thesaurus knows no bounds
Where sweet vicissitude gives precious aid
So gracefully the assonance resounds
And versatile its offering in trade
Reciprocation fosters the diverse
What treasures correlation will reward
While subtle changes complement in verse
With every nuance eagerly explored
But let us take to heart, it's not alone
How paramount the dictionary's worth
Construing every word that falls unknown
Replete with resolutions to unearth
In tribute let us witness what's bestowed
I'll honor my thesaurus through an ode

Author Notes
Vicissitude - change, alteration, transformation
Assonance - relatively close juxtaposition of similar sounds
Versatile - to be adapted to many different things
Reciprocation - mutual exchange
Diverse - great deal of variety
Correlation - mutual relationship or connection
Nuance - subtle difference
Paramount - superior to all others
Construing - interpreting in a particular way
Replete - filled or well-supplied
I'll admit, half these words I didn't know. Lol.
The lack of punctuation was intentional.
Thank you for reading.
