Words are at best just trying to explain ideas, they are not ideas
The bigger words get, the less they mean,
Use at many words as you want, just tell me about nothing
Seriously your poem really shouldn't be about anything
The entire book Catcher in the Rye is about nothing
All 131 lines of The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock were about nothing
Just give me something about nothing.
**EDIT**
Ok, the poems dont have to be about nothing as in the word, they can be about a coke can, or the way you never seem to be able to find the right key to open the door, but only when its cold dark and scary out, do you get it?

Good subject, I think
I have a prewrite called "nothing" if that's any good to you, other than that I have nothing, good luck. -

It's no surprise the Buddhists found bliss
with a mind cleared of everything
the granules, pebbles, stones, cobbles and boulders
of every day fuss and bother
all sublimated
into the vacuum
of nirvana.
