Here are the five I used in my poem.
1) Snafu-all messed up
2)Quasi-supposedly, apparently, seemingly
3)Legible-that can be read easily
4)Ravenous-Omnivorous, starved, voracious
5)Heathen-irreligious, uncivilized
The initial intent was not to be heatheness
My face became noticeably legible
It read silently outloud, "Snafu."
The quasi-stoned wall not unlike Berlin
The result of a backfired ravenous plan
Here are other words that I found to be somewhat interesting:
Diabolical-devilish, fiendish, pertaining to the devil
Honorific-conferring honor, term of respect
Satchel-small bag for books
Spangle-small pieces of glittering metal, used to ornament dresses
Spank-to strike with flat of hand, especially on the butt as punishment
Primordial-existing from the beginning, first in order

I don't think any of those words are what I would describe as rare; I knew all of them. Here are five words you certainly don't hear every day and I look forward to your poem:
Akimbo,plinth,sesquipedalian, etiolated,mugwump
