No Adjectives

No Adjectives
  
No adjectives graced skies of dawn
No crimson, mauve or bronze
Only blankets of fog akin to gloom
Blocking sunlight, singing runes.

Winds on gusts rose up in westerlies
Breath like brooms sweep skies majestically
Danced as a smile – heaven cheering -
Mischief on wings – imps twirl in clearings

Thank you so much Ken. Our cloudy summer mornings so like cloudy northwest skies, got me to thinking about the drabness of the sky without adjectives and how we northwesterners appreciate color - especially blue! Thank you for your good wishes. All the best!

Hi Michelle! This was a real challenge. Made me realize how important adjectives can be. And also got me to thinking about using more poetic devices like metaphor and simile. So appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your always encouraging words! Hope you well. Sending you blessings of colorful adjectioves my friend.
