The word espy
is often used in poetry
to mean notice or see.

So, if you espy "espy",
what did you see?

You saw poetically
what it means to espy.

  1. Hmm sounds like a fun word to use
    Although if one reads it fast it could confuse

  6. That's a word I truly like, Rachel. Here's one I recently came across: agerasia. I'm hoping to 'suffer' from it! ;)
