The Adjective Twin: A Poem of Pain 

I am "presumptuous" -- and with my brother, "arrogant" 
we are the adjective twin of "gentle" blame
of "gentle" wounding, of "gentle" continued "colonization"
constantly in an "unconscious" search for unsuspecting names to attach to,
so that we can remain collectively...

A dandelion sun floats in a
Ty-D-Bowl sky, and
dewy young girls with hair
like shining copper pennies
and unsalted butter
bathe beneath it.

With faith born of MTV,
they worship Ocean---
her heavy metal fury,
her power ballad calm.

But Eros interrupts,
sending her own virile priests
with Bowflex bodies and
Energizer loins
to defile the idolators.

Ocean rebels

Adjective Fashion

I am looking for a new adjective
To go with this really nice verb
I’ve tried a few nouns and Pro-nouns
But they make me look rather absurd...

You are an adjective to me;
Not a person, place, or thing.
Neither object nor property,
Nor a figure or being.

You are not simply boy or girl,
Or a shining star.
Not a luminescent pearl,
Or a song on the guitar.

You are the lovely of an angel,
The golden of a star.
The...

Lieutenant Adjective snoops
about the crime scene seeking
forensic evidence to catch
the prime suspect
with a warm clue to match
the DNA in a way that puts
the suspect there
at the time of the murder.
The sleuth modifies
his perspective by staring
at the spot on the wall 
upside down sideways,
up close and...

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...

Give It A Superlative Adjective

When you want to describe best way to live
Be careful and assign a superlative adjective;
Greatest result;
Never insult;
Only to extraordinary things is comparative.

Don’t repeat.
Make it short and sweet.

Really and Very
Are words that don’t carry

A crucial amount of weight
To a descriptive word’s state.

If you must abuse
The word that you choose.

Then at least speak the power
So listeners do not sour.

Say “Very” to the...

When love is too loud, and lurid,
it languishes in lewd, lusty lakes.

When love is silent, and steadfast,
it sings sweetly with soft waves on sea shores.   

When love is motionless and mute, 
it meanders to black mold and makes miserable, monotonous marshes.

So let me

Naturally particular, normally pedantic, never problematic - pessimism notwithstanding.

Thoughtfully intuitive, interested in thinkers; tactile in time, nuance in tenderness....
