Pulchritude.
by xSophiexx16 7/10/2010, 8:44 am
Maturity- Low. Fantasy- None, really. Slightly unrealistic, perhaps, but no fantasy.
Pulchritude.
Her hair was often described as clinquant,
For it was golden and shined very bright.
Anybody who has ever seen her can't-
Can't deny that the definition was right.
Her eyes were emerald-colored and glossy.
Some swear that her eyes were really the stones.
In the dark, though, her eyes seemed more mossy,
But the eyes' beauty was still clearly shown.
Her posture was so very elegant and classy.
She was always upright, and always standing high.
Her attitude was a perfect balance of shy and sassy.
Her personality was so immaculate, she was loved by all who passed by.
Her legs seemed to dance across the ground,
Her arms always put effortlessly in graceful stances.
Anyone compared to her seemed to lumber and pound,
Whilst she quietly moved in willowy, handsome dances.
Her voice soothed souls peacefully whenever she sang.
When she was quiet, the echoes of her voice played as an interlude.
Without her singing to calm, no doubt people would've had to harangue.
But they had Her, the girl who possessed so much pulchritude.

There isn't really any inspiration behind this poem.
I'm also very aware it's not the best of poems.
I was bored and went on thesaurus.com, where I learned
a bunch of words that I decided I wanted to put into a poem:
harangue, clinquant, immaculate, and pulchritude. I was particularly
set on using the word pulchritude because every time I go to
a thesaurus, I got to the synonyms for "beautiful" and tell
myself to remember the word "pulchritudinous" but I always forget.
I figured making a poem about it would help me remember.
Anyways, pulchritude means "beauty", harangue means "to rant" or
"vent" a long speech, clinquant means "shining silver/gold" or something
along those lines, and immaculate means "flawless" or "pure".
... At least, I think they mean that. : D
Anyway, if you're running low on inspiration,
I suggest doing a thesaurus/dictionary run like I did. It's quite fun.
