Alright, i know a bunch of these are art words… but all favorite words to say and use. (also i added a senstance i wrote using the words for fun. for most of them

In alphabetical order:

Chiaroscuro - n. the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting.

The scenery was hypnotizing and unfamiliar. Never before had he been so drawn into an image like he was by the chiaroscuro landscape before him.

Coagulated - v. (of a fluid, especially blood) change to a solid or semisolid state.

The coagulated blood was sticky, having pooled and dried on the concrete underneath her head in the time that she had spent unconscious. 

Contrapposto - n. an asymmetrical arrangement of the human figure in which the line of the arms and shoulders contrasts with while balancing those of the hips and legs.

He stood contrapposto, left hip jutting out while his right shoulder rested against the molding of the door frame.

Haberdashery - n. the goods and wares sold by a haberdasher. (a hat maker)

Lament - n./v. a passionate expression of grief or sorrow **possibly my favorite word of all time** 

“This house is a hole that you could never fill,” she lamented before turning her back on him for the final time.

Moratorium - n. a temporary prohibition of an activity

It was in that second he realized he’d gone to far. Seeing someone in pain from his foolish actions only emphasized the obvious truth he’d been ignoring; The way he was living his life was no ok, and a moratorium was needed.

Sfumato - n. the technique of allowing tones and colors to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms.

The smoke obscured her vision, reminding her vaguely of the sfumato in Caravaggio’s paintings–the way there still seemed to be life in the darker parts of the image just past where she could see. 

Plutoid - n. a body orbiting beyond Neptune that is massive enough to be rounded in shape that is not large enough to be a planet.

Sitting in the bleachers the girl watched her friends dance at the school social. She felt a like a lone plutoid, drifting on the edge of solar system, not enough to be a planet but still more than an asteroid.

ON HARD-BOILED PUNK ROCKER

A further possible effect of music upon the body is described by Bob Larson, the one-time rock guitarist who gave up his playing becoming a Christian. Larson writes : Drs Earl W. Flosdorf and Leslie A. Chambers found in a series of experiments that shrill sounds projected into a liquid media coagulated proteins. A recent teenage fad was that of taking soft eggs to rock concerts and placing them…

Clean slate—think you prefer it stained and crowded Must feel more comfortable that way to you—at least you’re not lonely Would you rather be alone with your junk or alone together People like their drama—I’m not fighting that statement any longer The uncomfortable familiar provides refuge, too afraid to discover the frontiers of the unknown The risk of living in now doesn’t hold appeal like the falls from then Rather keep living the same deadness, why bother with life

How many second and third chances do you deserve? On which second chance do you choose the difference—the fifth or the sixth? How many more close calls will it take to envision with clarity... Where is the need to make good on your destiny? How much longer are we granted to fulfill on the desires of our temporary eternity

For granted you continue to seize me To treat you in your greatness and still you remain in your smallness—this will get exhausting There will come a day when the last time will be the final last time Has it occurred already... I’m not as kind as God, I don’t have to give 77 chances… is how I think when I lean on my own understanding See in my understanding every day is a once in a lifetime chance to: Fill in the blank with what it is that you want Where in your heart is that want that you need beyond breath?  For which win do you play?  Copper. Gold. I don’t get it.  Living in memory—held hostage—instant replay—break free already For what prize will you strive? Will you ever get it? All of these inquiries are senseless It’s frankly too soon to shed words like this Condemnation I didn’t graduate to leave any behind… And yet contented you are in trailing me How is it that I don’t know the finest detail about you?  You flaunt your insecurity but won’t give me your purity… Which display do you think elevates unity?  What a serenity there is in contemplating only me But I know, there still remains a craving for we  Hence all this beautiful word play because my feelings won’t let me be  My thoughts can’t stop thinking  I’m bleeding internally, flowing freely Purging negativity

Mirror, mirror: our reflection remains broken to me Remedy: fill the cracks with gold and live to see…
