With trusty steed and Gowpen
Travelled forth to Yclept
In search of the Nelipot.
Wading through tall Dactylion
Growing Agraffe and Wanweird
in the midday Brontide,
They encountered the Pentrichor.
A fight was fought,
Jentacular.
The outcome?

These are certainly strange words. However, the words which I actually managed to find in my dictionary don't make sense in the context which they are written;

Y'clept, may mean travelling forth to call, but there's no sense in wading through tall middle-finger tips, nor armour shackles growing, or the eventual outcome being a scarf. (?)

It would have been good if this had worked, but I can't see how it does, unfortunately.

In creating a piece of poetry or prose from a wordbank, the words are to be used in context to have the exercise make sense. This has no rhyme or reason unless it was just to marry rhyming words (which is irrational to me). Great effort but truth is much more vivid than fiction.

It wasn't meant to make any sense with the meaning of the words!!
We weren't told the words were real until after the exercise.
We had to use our 'imagination'?
Oh well, win some, lose some lol.
