    In all fairness though, some people on here would give you a much more common word as their example, so actually it's not that bad.

    Yah, I'm back bonehead.

    I think the most complex words I have used are often the most esoteric, such as scientific-specific words.

    Something like, 'uniaxial' or 'crepuscular'.

    To be honest I muchly favour simple words these days, as is seemed to be preferred by a lot of modern poets.

    I agree completely, with u abby, But I wasin't saying that made the poem, I was just curious on the most complex, complicated, confuseing word soemones posted in a poem theres before, the only thing confuseing words adds to poems, is creativity, and a complicated way of saying in a simple way,

  • NuovoVesuvio

    The best description is one with the smallest amount of words, and the most detailed description; the smallest word, with the most detailed meaning; the simplest cause with the most complex outcome.

    Although complex is quite the wrong word to use in this case. A lot of meaning in my poetry is achieved (or attempted to be achieved) without even using words - by line structure, rhythm and phonetic quality etc.

    fornicate

    yeah I agree, Just more longer and less frequently used words, always make the poem more interesting,
    in my opinion anyways

  • Romancing the Darker Side

    I have used the word "sanctuarial" which I don't even think is a word, it's meant as "sanctuary" though.

  • NuovoVesuvio

    haha.

    I disagree that long words make a poem more interesting - often it is quite the contrary. I despise poets who use longer words when a shorter word would fit with the same merit, and thusly, more merit because it is shorter.

    Once you develop your vocabulary you will realize that actually, long words aren't really all that cool. I only use them if they have an edge in meaning or phonetic tone/quality over a shorter synonym.

    And my vocabulary is crap.

    HAHA ABBY.
    I love you ;[

    but anyway.
    I dunno.

    " The high vocabulary use in this piece gave it a touch or sophistocation. Amazing. :)"
    was on one of my poems k.
    The.
    I Don't Believe. one. so i guess that's my most complex wording.

    ;]!

    I believe the most complex word for me is DEATH...truly this word is very hard to express

  • Gary Jurechka

    Anything in a foreign language-French and especially Latin. Otherwise I'd have to say 'eldritch' or 'widdershins' and a couple others that don't come to mind at the moment.

    ^ Unfortunately, I'm going to agree with Nuevo on this one...but change "despise" to "question," and scratch the 'ly' on "thusly." :)

    Anywho, I believe one of mine would be...

    "Soarer"

    I made it up. I'm the new Shakespeare.

    heres the first stanza of my poem called "Comatose" which contains many words along with their definitions.

    a comatose of effluence
    followed by benevolence
    tropeolins of blaspheme
    seraph filled academy

    I bet most of you had a dictionary of synonyms, huh? I'm just kidding of course.

    Mine would be none other than "Feelings".

    I don't think I need to explain why.

    Love - Nothing has more complexity or is as big and built into such a small word.
