Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Imperceptible

Imperceptible is a word

As prompt in a poem contest

Not often daily seen or heard.

The definition as I'd guessed

Was "not perceptible" too much.

So I did try hard to perceive

Whether I could get in true touch

With some perception to achieve.

So as I do lots of the time,

I just pretend to understand

Whatever the reason and rhyme,

The word does look and sound so grand.

The imperceptible somehow 

Has become perceptible now.
