Today's word is "inspissate" ... in-SPIS-eyt ... to thicken, as by evaporation; make or become dense. (Dictionary.com)
Go
We watched as clouds inspissated,
Hung in rows above the hills,
Daring all weary travelers,
To their eyes wondrously fill.
The cool rough road meandered up,
Up, up and away,
To a mysterious vanishing,
That might portend delay.
The trek challenged this late hour,
And through us caution sent,
But staying in the doldrums,
Promised no sure content.
So, we set out toward the hills,
One step at a time,
And were greeted at the summit,
With a satisfaction fine.
