Blossom

This is a style I call dictionary poems. I open the dictionary to a random place and write down the first word I see. I do this several times until I come up with a list of random words. I then must use at least one of those words per line and in order.

The words I used:

Blossom, claret, coquette, effulgent, impermeable, impersonal, modest, palpitate, plaintive, vapor, zenith

 

A blossom of claret

How coquettish

How effulgent!

And yet her impermeable heart remained impersonal

She was considered modest

And yet her heart began to palpitate

As it gave a plaintive cry

Too late! He disappeared as a vapor

And the zenith of her life had passed.
