The word 'vivid' in the context of imagery or descriptions refers to something that is intense, bright, or producing powerful feelings and strong, clear images in the mind. In literary and artistic contexts, a 'vivid depiction' is one that is graphic and lifelike [2]. The term 'vividly' is used to describe something that shows or illustrates a point with great clarity and animation. Among the given options, 'lively' is the nearest synonym, as it denotes being full of life, energy, or animation, which aligns with the 'liveliness' often contrasted with 'vapid' or 'dull' descriptions. In contrast, 'inert' means lacking movement, 'ebullient' refers specifically to cheerful exuberance, and 'caustic' refers to harsh or biting criticism. Therefore, 'lively' best captures the essence of vivid imagery in a poem.
