Hello there all you happy people.  I've been receiving the 'Word of the Day', from Dictionary.com for awhile now, and I've saved a good portion of the words and definitions, thinking that I would use them in a poem 'later'. Well, I think it's later now. LOL. I've decided to start sharing a few with you on a regular basis, to see what you can do with them. The challenge is simply to choose one or more of the words and use it/them in a poem. If you decide to use more than one word, then you may either use them all in the same poem or write a seperate poem for each word. So, here's the first word list... pukka, also pucka \PUHK-uh\, adjective: 1. Authentic; genuine. 2. Good of its kind; first-class tenebrous \TEN-uh-bruhs\, adjective: Dark; gloomy. palimpsest \PAL-imp-sest\, noun: 1. A manuscript, usually of papyrus or parchment, on which more than one text has been written with the earlier writing incompletely erased and still visible. 2. An object or place whose older layers or aspects are apparent beneath its surface soporific \sop-uh-RIF-ik; soh-puh-\, adjective: 1. Causing sleep; tending to cause sleep. 2. Of, relating to, or characterized by sleepiness or lethargy gimcrack \JIM-krak\, noun: A showy but useless or worthless object; a gewgaw. adjective: Tastelessly showy; cheap; gaudy And, there you have it. Now, go write and have fun!  [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-03-2002 09:00 PM).] |

Oooh ooh, can I use "ords"? No, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. |
