Poetry would be good. Expresses your thoughts that rhyme!

Doesn't help. Sorta gets it the way. Perhaps less so if you put etoliated in parens or em-dashes or drop it altogether. (What does it add?) A worthy experiment though.

helpful two things - we have lost the art of reading poetry, maybe even the art of understanding prose. The word etiolated is so sensuous, I have wanted to resurrect it.

Then use etoliated and put the ordinary word in parens ;-)
