Notes

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
