Premium Memberadjectives ooze like black blood

words tiptoe through my mind’s dendrite fields
struggling with an inner battle
do they want to be shared
or merely heard by someone?

adjectives ooze like black blood
under the shut doors of my brain
I feel outnumbered and overpowered
my pen smiles as I reach for him

Premium MemberA 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

Premium MemberNo Adjectives Please

Everyone desires to enjoy food,
but we don't like food void of salt.
Salt is not only good for taste;
It is a nutrient required for life.

However, beware that salt can kill.
The oceans are filled with salt in the water
that would have to be treated for drinking.
Salt contains iodine, a nutrient we require.

Thoughts Without Adjectives

Can’t see television because you occlude my vision
People could be compared to a door for that.
Certainly you are not the window type
To keep blocking me the way you do.

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

Premium MemberAdjectives Bounce On My Couch

Whimsy roams around my living room
Flipping the curtains, laughing at my consternation
But really do I care?
Not a wit.

Fanciful language slips into a sliver of the floor
Skidding to a stop in front of the mouse carcass 
A stench that is losing its potency.

Adjectives bounce up and down on the couch
Treating it like the trampoline that it

Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers

Alliterative adjectives
Are like poetic additives
That rearrange raw rhythmic rhyme
So sonnets sound more-so sublime.

“Aggrieved aggressors,” “Angry Aunts”
“Outraged oppressors,” “Haunted haunts”
Are all alliterative bits
That prod poor poems into hits.

Consider how this very verse
Without alliteration would be worse.
For con-sequential consonants
Create quaint quotes of consequence.

Premium MemberDeath Needs His Own Adjectives

Death needs his own adjectives. 
Your heart slams shut.
Feelings you have never felt are here.
Shaking you out of your boredom,
Increasing anxiety one horrible thought at a time.
Worst time ever you think.

Each death brings its own pain, slamming people shut.
He smashes you with unknown horror. 
Feelings you have never had before
And will never have again clutch

The Adjective Cellar

The Adjective Cellar

Nestling smugly twixt pepper and salt
The adjective cellar begins its assault
When carelessly picked by some epicure
Who sadly considers himself connoisseur

Once the poor dinner guest flips up the top
The words tumble out, they’re awkward to stop
They bounce on the table and under the chairs
And yelling and screaming they bound up the stairs

Normally nouns are

My Jealous Adjectives


Everyone she meets want to
sunbathe in her smiley face
My happy-go-lucky girl
with the sexy turnabout twirl
She’s got a wooing walking way,
sensual sway ... sultry sashay
And my adjectives get jealous
about her everyday
Office chatter gets whisper low
when my girl arrives
Top-of-the-morning goes spinning
fast into noon
Five o’clock takes a commuter dive,
I can’t wait 
for my baby to come home soon
Go

Some Adjectives Can Be So Possessive

My desert I-land is a great place to be.
Would you care to peruse this brochure?
But even with the Bible and Shakespeare,
my eight favourite gramophone records,
and a limitless supply of needles,
not everything is kosher.
If you're feeling lonely, how about
me coming over to you-land,
or if you like, you can visit me-land
On second thoughts, I'd better visit you-land

Adjectives

Anxious, eratic, insane, depraved.
These are what you know me by.
Precocious, delightful, awkward, precious.
This is what some would say.
All that I know is that those few words do not make me the man I 
am today.
There is peace, chaos, love and hate.
 I am part of that world.
My question is...  will you take my hand?
Hold

Adjectives

A is for angry, a passion hot and burning,
B is for beautiful, always a damsel yearning.

C is for callous, the ungodly wicked act,
D is for doting, such love can so much impact.

E is for energetic, big strong pocket Hercules,
F is for foolish, an unwise approach to my exercises.
