Favorite words You use in your poems

my vocabulary is not very impressing, as I am from Norway, but I really enjoy learning new words...

I tend to use Thus (such a beautiful word), therein (love it)...

and that's all

For a while, I was stuck on the word eternity! I put it in so many poems! Now I use a thesaurus to broaden my vocabulary! I adore the word melancholy! I'd have to say that's my all time favorite word~Holly

i would say, ages, extent, call, yearning, essence, burning, desire, content. sage

I love using older words, like "thus, thy, thou, art, hath, layeth..." They sound so beautiful and when they're used in a poem, it gives the impression that the poem has been written hundreds of years ago.

i agree

anything that describes the night-cold, stars, moon, sky, blah blah yada yada la la

I, for my part, tend to use but a lot. Butt too

i use baby or darling or sweetheart like im talking to someone. lets some steam out. lets me make-believe im actually talking to that person. its wow.

why

Hope.

oblivious
forever
shattered
eternally
frozen
unsaid
stripped

mine are: a, the, is, it, and and

I don't have favourite words as such i just like rhyme the same ones with the same thing in my poems:

You and to...

Me and free

-Lyd

Mutilation
Void
Eternity
Shadowed
Descent
Enervate
Funereal
Massacre
Butchery
Agony

angel

I'm very attached to "Soul" for reasons unknown to me?

Steve

having favorite words that you like to use, will end up making some of your poems sound the same or drown out the word...you should not have a favorite word, you should be original in all of your poems.

I know, that's already worrying me, anybody else feel the same?

Steve

I don't have favorites words on mine.
I just write what the Heart Speaks.
I'm not an expert at it.
But I try my best to improve.

Release what it says and let it speak for You.

pain
oh
wretched
twisted
enslaved

pretty & sweet have so many different uses, I have to take advantage of them. I like the word fuck, and it occasionally creeps into my poetry. also whore rhymes so well with so many things.

conversely, I can see how it gets old. I reread "Hunger Pains" and feel an instinct to strangle myself for over-using the word "pain" ad nauseum.

i adore using love, dove, and above. sometimes altogether in the same poem because they rhyme so well.

velvet.

I, pain, struggle, wonder, cut....ect.

upon (i don't really know why)

i just find myself using them a lot, lately though i have been trying to use new vocabulary just i need to find money to buy a thesaurus and a better dictionary that would really help, but i have no money right now at this point at all! and i guess if i only have three words i find myself using over and over i guess thats not to bad.

why not who?

like you know Who what where when and why the five w's you got at least three in your list. :)

Darling (My absolute favorite word)
Shattered (I used to have a band by that name)
Forgotton
Vainity
Tortured
Gracefull

I dunno, I like adjectives, they really make or break everything... lol, I'm such a nerd : )

strife's good. i like sinking. you can use it for anything. and imagining. and "cellar". its american but it conjures up beautiful images.

Ruthless in the thesaurus has like over 40 different words for it, it's amazing i was flipping through it and just found the word i think i am easily entertained with my thesaurus, you should have seen how happy i was when i bought it. just thought i would say something since this is about words and everything.

~Jacklyn

i love you and you cant be replace

however, the more i read 'i love you' in poems, the more those words become like a two-by-four, slamming you on the head till you are numb to its potency.

I love the words,

Always, forever, Love, above..
