Good idea,

It had languished for long enough, covered in dust in the folds of the dictionary until you rescued it.

It has been officially dusted and rescued.

You really are doing a good thing by bringing a word back from obscurity.

I think I may buy a new dictionary (and thesaurus) and pick a word every week and write a poem including it.

Want to play? Could be a good Sunday activity.

Think I’ll pick up the new books on Tuesday, so I should be able to pick a word from obscurity next weekend. 'Word of the Week" perhaps?

A good one to start with might be ‘sorry’, I don’t hear that much these days.

But seriously, there are probably some pretty obscure ones in there that will make people head off to their own dictionaries!
