#8 Delitescent

DDW March Challenge #8 Delitescent

As a child, I was always enchanted by hollow tree stumps, thinking the wood nymphs and other sprites lived in them, delitescent in their shadows. On the La-Z-Boy trail, there are two large ones not far from one another and fairly close to the start of the trail. Here is Woody posing in front of the largest, which graces a fork in the path.

Delitescent Quote from the OEDILF (The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form):
'Twas a hall full of patients senescent—
A parade of the slow and quiescent,
Some crabbing and aching,
Some fecklessly faking,
And a few with complaints delitescent.

Delitescent (deh-luh-TESS-unt) means hidden, latent, or undiscovered.
