Abstract Imagery + WordBank

I'm stuck in the proverbial rut when it comes to writing lately... I've lost one of my main inspirations and I'm unhappy about it. So I'm holding a contest to see if something perks my interest - don't worry - I'm easily amused


I want what the title says - an original poem with ABSTRACT IMAGERY - and lots of it:

Abstract - 'thought of apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances'


Follow the rules:

No stupid typing
No bashing others
Be original
Use metaphor
Use the word-bank


Also - I like direction when I am writing for contests - so here is a word-bank (of which you have to include all words) and yes - you can use other forms of these words:

Content
Language
Natural
Hidden
Glass
Script
Vulgar



Have fun
