Actually the best poetic form to feature the word "autovivication" would seem to be the "Double Dactyl" see http://lonestar.texas.net/~robison/dactyls.html http://www.kith.org/logos/words/lower/d.html etc. e.g. the self-describing
Higgledy-Piggledy Dactyls in dimeter, Verse form with choriambs (Masculine rhyme): One sentence (two stanzas) Hexasyllabically Challenges poets who Don't have the time. Providing the other 7 lines is left as an exercise. P.S> Yes I know that the way "autovivication" is prounounced normally is not quite a double dactyl, but its close enough for this deliberately silly poetic form.
