A Swamp of Adjectives

I am lost in a swamp of adjectives, gooey, sticky, boggy, messcatastric (don't bother looking that one up), longing to rise above the mess, excretion, digest completion, Gobblystinko (don't bother) – and fly into a sky of non billowy, yet brilliant, resplendent, eyeglareoffendic (forget it also) to meet bright Nature Spirits, wings shimmering, gleaming, after the rain-steaming~ those fumes of rainbows at high altitudes, gaggaliftic! (yep, now you are catching on). So, please save me some adjectives, that I may use for my own bejeweled, overly flamboyant, astringent, laxateric-metafatalelastic (toss it) facsimileing-irredeemable, superfluous poetry.

Thank you, Sara; yep, this was all for a smile. If any deeper value to be found, it is there by accident. Have a great holiday my friend!
