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 6-14-21 Contest: Adjectives Deleted Sponsor: Jack Webster

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!

I really like the metaphor of a bleak sky without adjectives, so clever! Should do well in the contest!

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.

Thank you so much Milt. Had fun with this contest. In the morning we often get fog drifting in from the ocean. Thought it might be a good subject for the contest! So appreciate your message and good wishes! All the best.
