Something out of the ordinary...

for this contest, i want a rather unusual type of poetry; you must use one word and ONE WORD ONLY per line.
however, this does no mean i want you to just split a poem up so there is only one word per line, and it drags on for ten pages. i want each word to be full of meaning and significance, the kind of word you could write an entire new poem about. so no words like and/if/or/but, for an idea of what i am looking for, take a look at my poem Forever Haunted;

http://allpoetry.com/poem/2654378

comments are appreciated and returned, but not nessecary

rules/options:
1) any topic at all is acceptable, except erotica
2) make sure the words are MEANINGFUL
3) rhyme is prefered, but not necessary
4) it would be great if you could maybe tell a sort of story though your words, though it can be as abstract as you want
5) i am allowing prewritten poems, but i ask that you make sure they fit what i am asking for, and that for every prewrite you enter, you enter a fresh write. if i am inandated with prewrite, i may remove the prewrite option

so go pen me some magic!

EDIT:
PLEASE NOTE MY AGE IS SET TO 14, SO THEREFORE I CAN READ NOTHING UNDER THE CATEGORIES OF ABUSE, EROTICA, ADULT, ETC
