At tonight’s short form poetry workshop, we engaged in a sort of game of poetic wordplay. The goal of the game is to take five selected lesser used words and quickly form a dash of poetry from these words.
The first of these relied on the following words:
Take Five #1
1 –sibilant
making or characterized by a hissing sound.

2- ebullience
the quality of being cheerful and full of energy; exuberance.
the quality of being cheerful and full of energy; exuberance.
3- perfidy
deceitfulness; untrustworthiness.
deceitfulness; untrustworthiness.
4- lethean
causing oblivion or forgetfulness of the past.
causing oblivion or forgetfulness of the past.
5. ineluctable
unable to be resisted or avoided; inescapable.
unable to be resisted or avoided; inescapable.

From these, formed:
The Serpent

The serpent arrived in n his usual ebullience
Eager to demonstrate his brilliance
Caught up in all of his perfidy
In a moment likened to an epiphany
Despite his effort to bring light
His words were more likely to be lethean
Sibilant as is his very right
Before this naked simian
Eager to demonstrate his brilliance
Caught up in all of his perfidy
In a moment likened to an epiphany
Despite his effort to bring light
His words were more likely to be lethean
Sibilant as is his very right
Before this naked simian
