Puzzle Poem Approach

First, cut every word out of the dictionary. 
You will need two dictionaries
as the back of each page
has half the pieces.
Arrange definitions
and progenitors
on a large table.
Sort by flavor,
connotation,
part of speech.
Assemble the puzzle
one category at a time
starting with the edges
that might guide pickings
through the solids and blurs
that punctuate every connection.
