Description:

As a warning, this is an example of what can happen when you place a dictionary too close to a poet.

Mawkish

The virago melted into
redivivus sussuration
then segued to
ebullient effulgence
due to plenary
but ineffable
Love

  Uh, well. I don't think this was your best...but it made me smirk a little at the fact that you used a dictionary and random words. Or were they random? Did you just turn to spontaneous spots or what? I want to know; maybe I'll try that sometime!

So why did you decide to do this? I kind of stumbled a little bit, and if I didn't know a word I had to look at the bottom. Then I had to shove the meaning in there in place of the actual word and it screwed me up. Big time. -_-'

Anyway...methinks I shall be goinck now...

  I must admit I do glance through the dictionary if i'm stuck for something to do, language is just amazing, I mean who thinks that we need these words, it's crazy.
As it happen I've used ineffable in a piece that I'm still working on so I was sorted there, but the rest were new to me, ebullient being my favourite. I shall strive to work that in somewhere.

Nicely done thanks.

  Well, I love new words, so I'll give it a go since you've provided the "word-meanings" for me already. This should be fun

The courageous woman melted into
restored whisperings
then glided into
high-spirited radiance
due to complete
but unexpressible
love

Well, that's my take. I enjoyed this.

Thanks for the intrique this morning.

Nicely done!

  Wow, I must look every single word up as a challange! I am not sure what you meant, and I am pretty certain it has to do with love. Your warning was hillarious! Cool... now I have something to do this morning!

  That was just odd. I made me laugh at how...pretentious it was. I think any one of those words could be used to greatly enrich a piece, but the combination of them just gives one a headache. The dictionary is a powerful weapon, and can only be combated with a great supply of pain relieving drugs.

Either that or a very sudden trip to the lavatory. Though, this poem was very Mawkish, I'll admit. It was sickening. In fact, I feel ill now. No seriously, I think I need to go lie down... -_-

Anyhow...that was weird.

Rock on,

Nessa
