in a word...with a twist

poet Anonymous

Poetry Contest

Poems using specific not so daily used words – with a twist
The latest installment of my “In a Word” comp comes with a bit of a twist. Write a poem using the following words in their proper context…but make it erotic. Think metaphorically, step outside the normal layout, be original. Try to avoid vulgar clichés. But stick to the listed definitions. All of the required words must be used in the poem. Here are the words:

cognoscente: person who has superior knowledge or understanding in a particular field
declivity: downward inclination; slope
frangible: fragile; brittle
ineffable: too great, powerful or beautiful to be described or expressed
nascent: coming or having recently come into existence
recalcitrant: resisting authority; disobedient; hard to handle
skulk: to lie or keep in hiding, as for some evil reason; to move in a stealthy manner
vulpine: crafty, cunning

*1 entry only
*3 weeks
*No epic sagas please – keep it to 50 lines or less
*Post your poem & then link it here
*Please post comments to the writer’s personal page.


Have fun with this!

AGAINST ALL ODDS

Back in my half of the state
My office
My desk
It seems that every time
I skulk a glance
At my digital frame
You are looking back at me
Just 6 out of 43 photos
What vulpine
Sorcery is this?

But always fuck with probability
Like your frangible maidenhead
(Excuse me, maidenhair)
Fern I agreed to look after
Adiantum cognoscente I am not
Still I will tend
To lend my one good shoulder
For you to lean on
As your knee fights
This path’s declivity

And instead of hoping it’s enough
I will merely continue
To emulate your recalcitrant
Example
Your radical honesty
Ineffable
Opening the bedsheets
Sincerely
Inviting
This nascent partnership

You discard your blasphemy-
Blaring shirt, your panties
And I bear witness as
A Marian apparition
Emerges from folds inside you
I can feel you holding back
You say, pulling me close
Through barriers of shame
And flesh
Against all odds

Satan's Slave

A succubus of feminine form  
The devil is cognoscente in seduction  
In my most vulnerable moment
She clandestinely skulk, stalked and struck  
Pouncing upon my lonely frangible heart  
Becoming a nascent presence  
In my head and upon my mattress  
 
This evil vulpine ineffable beauty  
Caused me to abandon all reason  
I became defiant to all convention  
Recalcitrant I became a pariah  
Sliding uncontrollably into declivity  
Till she imprisoned my soul  
In an inescapable prison  
Of corporal debauchery  
 
Now without family or friends  
I am a slave to her every whim  
Proxy of her evil schemes  
Part of every of her wicked deeds  
 
I've given my soul to this monster  
Just to be taken as her lover  
For this I will be condemned  
To burn in the fires of Hell  
🔥Forever and ever🔥

Unleashed By Pandora (" in a word...with a twist"  comp)

By the hands of, Hermes, cognoscente of deception, was I sculpted    
From earth and water, I was bred - nascent to mankind's declavity  
Cast forth by Zeus, all man must be made frangible for stolen fire  
Created as an ineffable being , I was built for seduction & demise  
Bare flesh on display,  paraded with breasts & hips in vulpine fashion    
With salacious desires instilled by sister Aphrodite; tempted & beguiled    
Mortal men faced the fate of disobedience by the fondling of my flesh  
The all giving Goddess; prowess to lead the downfall of Epimetheus  
A mere fool; fell victim to the skulk of Zues, led by my siren's call  
Unable to evade temptation of thy God, adorned my wedded hand as his  
Born with intent to ruin, I was recalcitrant with the gift of Zues  
Now, all of humanity suffers from my mishandling - foremost, did Epimetheus
It is I , Pandora, who unleashed miseries from thy inquisitive box  
I salvaged hope, but my lust lives on throughout mankind

Yield To Me

I am a cognoscente of love
A vulpine temptress in the art of seduction
For I am ruled by the goddess Venus who influenced my virtuosity

I'll make you yield your recalcitrant defenses
As I search for your Achilles heel
Till you become frangible under my ministration
I will uncover your vulnerability
With my amorous charms

Your desire that has skulked for so long will burn into flames
As passion takes hold of your senses leading you to ineffable bliss while we sway to the edge of declivity in ecstasy

I will make you pliant to my wishes
You'll rejoice in the nascent discovery of your pleasure
That will slowly spiral into a crescendo
In this tango of love we dance

Poetic Gifts

For the “In a Word” competition:

High time to poeticise the present state of affairs
Thee vulpine temptress beware!
Thou mind art plastic and compliant
Speak not of frangibility or be defiant!

It lives within our nascent essence
Tracing the declivity without hesitance
Cognoscent of the art of love
And ineffably glorious to have

If thee be recalcitrant to mine charms
Then skulk,
Til thou resolve thy qualms

...

Bound

She was a cognoscente artist in the world of rope,
As her subjects were nascent discovering new delights,
Even those recalcitrant became submissive in hopes,
To bring their innovative pleasures to greater heights.
Lieges who thought themselves emotionally frangible,
Found that being bound gave them sense of trust,
Overwhelming in the undertow it becomes tangible,
Where declivity and inclination give way to lust.
Surrendering control, being vulnerable is ineffable,
When the cords slide, slither and skulk across the skin,
The cunning ties and vulpine knots are expressible,
Intensifying body and mind better than any kind of sin.

Alchemy

The cowled cognoscente,
With shuffling steps  
followed the declivity
Into the shifting shadow  
Of the candlelit chamber
 
Peers awaited this arrival  
With frangible patience
Suddenly gasping as robes fall
Her nakedness, palpable
An ineffable force
 
Mercury boiled in nearby sconces
Recalcitrant to the cowled chants
And arduous whispers
Potent vapors meshed with musk
Defying subtle prodding
To transmute
 
Rhythmic became
Both chants and chance
As improbable energies
Traced the Hierophant's thrusts
 
Dozens of gold painted hands
Followed the declivity
Exploring her groves and grotto
As the tempo reached ineffable, inevitable
Climax.
 
Nascent gold spews from  
A dozen shafts
And the ritual finishes  
With a flurry of moans
 
Transmutation.
 
A Templar tightens his grip
On his gilded hilt
Skulking with vulpine grace
Waiting for the moment to strike
And end this unholy gathering...
