Will you take the challenge and write a poem using these words?

I hope you write a poem
and the result is your style
a haiku, sonnet or anthem
and have fun; hope it's worthwhile.

Although they may show up as misspelled, I assure they are in the dictionary and spelled correctly.
Use as many words as you can; I hope this is fun. LC's always are and this is my first challenge. You can always make up your own meaning, if you choose.

adventive
adytum
anamnesis
boscage
calvous
canticle
ectype
fusty
gangrel
interpolation
novation
procellous
solatium

I have to close this early due to my personal situation. I may be away from YAP for several days. I think you deserve to have the challenger pick the best answer. All of the poems were really good, and I am glad you took up my challenge.

A Knight's Tale

Our hero once hirsute, now glabrous with advancing age,
keeps his calvous crown covered all night and day.
The fusty old gangrel shuffles down a dusty road,
humming the words of an ancient canticle to himself.
With anamnesis fading, too, interpolation of neologisms
becomes his wont increasingly from time to time.

If only you had seen him in the glory of his youth,
you'd deem his present visage an ectype of his former self—
resulting from novations with accumulating years,
without solatium or adytum to offer comfort from the past.
At last, among adventive boscages, he finds a place to rest
in hopes to ease his weary bones and most procellous mind.

Christmas
Adventive, thirty, forty years or so
Oh adytum, must I begin again
anamnesis, will urgent passions grow
each day born to new lives as little men
boscage, the rage for this necessitude
though calvous, welcomed, loved, chosen, adored
the canticle of muted gratitude,
with ectype raised, credence to lead the horde.
the musty fusty, sensations of love,
gangrel, the twilight flyers we know of
although remembered well, old words anew
novation will burn hopes, those worn out views
of love, the sober years, procellous pose
the scent is a solatium’s hint of rose.

Anamnesis (title)

In anamnesis I find a new horizon,

The adytum of my soul.

Fusty- a way from hence I grow away.

My faith is like the calvous head,

But each day,

Hair by hair,

Moment by moment,

I introduce my gangrel self to an adventive world.

No solatium is needed because I’ve concealed myself in a boscage of my own,

So now I must sprout and bask in the sun of novation.

No ectype of my heart will ever show old scars,

For I am growing and interpolating my own.

I’m procelous and revived,

For love’s canticle has awakened my soul.

A new rain falls,

A new taste comes,

In anamnesis I’ve found a new horizon.


As for a haiku...........

Nature's novation,

Defiant and procelous

Adytum of life.

adventive and adytum
boscage and calvous
i dont know how they describe us
canticle and ectype
fusty and gangrel
to me they seem unreal
interpolation,procellous,solatium and novation
i have no idea what those words mean; and i think anamnesis has something to do with either medecine or religion

We meet under a adventive red sky
you fusty crushingleel ''this is it '
interpolation sinking rasing our breath
against the crunching snow ,
novation you tell me , i take it with me
in my mouth a rawness in my throat
boscage this is the spot
that was hard I tryed to make it solatium and soft :)
