I had to try this:
A poem (rhymed for preference) using the words 'ice', 'bitter', 'wind', 'dark' and 'bare'. Extra credit for cheerful, uplifting poems :)
When winter comes, the bitter ice
Entices thoughts both dark and light,
Throughout the cold and starlit night.
The wind strips trees of all their leaves,
Yet leaves the nuts, to squirrrels’ delight.

Notice the internal rhymes!
Notice the enjambement!
I like the idea of an Ode Less Travelled community. It would certainly be a prod to doing the exercises. I'd join!
