Aphotic beneath countless depths energy fleeting, gloom haunting insipid jailers keep locks metaphorical never owning peace, quarrel, rage, surrender torture understated, verve waned xanthic ylem zombie

I love " torture understated and " verve waned" verve! A word i love , and also the way youv used xyz is impressive as those are the hardest for me in abcs. And your Y word is new for me, atleast i dont remember seeing it, think its a scientific word? Clever and such a deeply meaningful take! This contest looks like so much fun and you did it so well! Pleasure reading! Sending you light always

I nearly gave up when I got to x lol - but I'd got so far I needed to drag it over the line kicking and screaming haha. I'd never heard of ylem before and it's tricky to use a word just from the definition, so I'm 50/50 whether it definitely works but that's what poetic license is for :) it was fun to do though but not sure there enough decent x and y words to make a habit out of it :)

WOW!!! What a creative write. Love It... "Good Luck" with this one. I started one but can not find the ending. Maybe it will come to me. Have a blessed day................

It's certainly tricky for the final few words! Good luck with the thesaurus - hope you find the perfect fit. Thank you for your comment
