Margarita Lillico Poet Quatrain

No Words To Describe

Who needs words of description?!
Those are mere fillers of space,
They are poets' addiction
When they have nothing else to say.

Adjectives just make me shiver -
Shudder me with creeps and chills, 
Should be banned from poets’ quiver - 
As font of frippery and frills!

That is a tongue in cheek for a non-adjective contest. Treat it lightly please!
