Welcome to another Word Nerd Wednesday, a weekly writing prompt you can use to build your writing vocabulary...and, of course, generate some inspiration to (hopefully) kickstart a poem! Take a peek at today's wonderful word:
I first remember hearing incandiferous while watching my favorite movie of all time, Moulin Rouge. It's a word spoken by the glorious Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.

What does it mean, you may ask? Incandiferous is considered a slang word, meaning "a unique and significant presence, or lack there of."
You know the drill, folks!
1. Use the Word of the Day to inspire you. Freewrite for ten minutes, make a list of words with a similar appearance or sound, play with rhyming phrases, etc.
2. Either use the Word of the Day as the title of your finished poem, or simply use your freewriting to write a poem that uses incandiferous somewhere in it.
Best of luck, poetry buddies. Write your way to something unbelievably wonderful...much like the scene below.
