It's so cool you zeroed in on that particular word because this was the word that started the entire concept of this poem. As I'm going about my day, if I think of a line or a word that interests me I write it down in the "notes" app of my phone. I never question why the words pique my interest I just write them down. Once I have a sufficient amount of material I build out a poem like a puzzle using the words. This is how I churn out so many of these. I found the word "blandishments" in the credits of Charles Schulz Peanuts specials and it's always held a fascination for me.

That is really cool the origin of the word for you. I use Google Keep on my phone and I used that to keep track of story ideas. The problem is, I occasionally don't put enough context and I forget what the heck I was thinking at the time. I had that happen just the other day. Thankfully, I was able to figure out what I was thinking at the time!
