You've missed out myriad and shard, and I dont agree unconditionally except
for transcend, transubstantiate (mainly because its rhythm's awful),
tresses, usurp, yearn, manque (not really English), mensch (nre) Oprah (name
already used up) reify, epistomological, avuncular.
Words in your list that could be great in poems include cafe, (pronounced
either way, could be spelt caf' or accent marked on e, garden, cry, smile,
said, while many more would work for rhyme or wit (same thing eh) and
practically all of them would be fine in limericks.
