Hiding In the Deepest Shadows
Adjectives hid in the deepest shadows
behind smelly sticky stinky garbage dumpsters
rats squatted on them
Adverbs tore verbs into tiny manageable bites
and nested on them, after they were gooey, snarly and moldy.
Nouns appeared stuck up prissy.
Refused to join adjectives
Thought they were better than that.
Adverbs and adjectives conspired against the nouns.
Sequestering themselves in the recesses of the alley walls.
Nothing working today, each against any type of unity.
Muse made fun of my Pollyanna ways, so gave up the poetry idea
and took a little nap.
