In tranquility we sit,
effervescent beverages in hand as
the descant moves into the mix.
So mellifluous...
So promiscuous in whom it touches...
Hoping to stupefy the audience with its
flawless and free life.
Until our enjoyment is shortened
by the loud clomping from
outside our autonomous dwelling...
Something outside bonks into the ground
before a silhouette breaches our safety
and our eternity is threatened with...
I wrote this poem as part of an excersise where we were given words that we had to use once in the poem and one word per line. These are the words we were given and the meanings that I used them for.

Autonomous - self governing
Descant - a melody played in accompaniment to the main melody
Tranquility - calm and undisturbed
Mellifluous - sweet sounding
Silhouette - a dark shadow or outline seen against a light background
Eternity - the endless period of life after death
Enjoyment - to get pleasure from (enjoy)
Clomping - making loud noises with your feet as you walk
Promiscuous - indiscriminant
Bonk - to collide with something
Effervescent - to give off small bubbles of gas
Stupefy - to stun with astonishment
Flawless - perfect
