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.

Ha!!! Ha!!.. Way to go with those made up words. At least there was some humor in there. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

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!
