emperically terse

if more lyrics you hanker

toute-suite,I am a tanka...

I never belonged to the fortunate world of the sad, 
nor to the sad world of the joyful.. 
I was never either entirely, one of them...
I was always a poet, a friend of adverbs......

Spin the words 
    Around my head
    Verbs and adverbs
    Nouns and pronouns
    such poor stuff
    To hold my emotions
    At bay
    Why
    Cannot I
    Use
    Colour?...

Darkness falls.
Oppressive dreams become-
Broken promises. Stars seem bright.


If this contains any verbs, adverbs, adjectives please let me know as I am terrible at 
spotting them. thanks....

an apology approaches awesome ambience
adverse advances amass at altars
academically aroused arcades are absolved

astonishingly abrupt adverbs articulate arduously
atlas awakens all around
arrggghhhhh audacious aardvarks attack aimlessly...

An inkwell cupcake if you please.
Frost it with adverbs.
Sprinkle it with adjectives.
Don’t be stingy.
You can add more.
Make it glitter.
Make it pop!
Startle yourself.
Bake it whatever degree
Coleridge, Whitman, Thoreau and Poe would have used....

evening perfume

memory of you

Note:
Many older Japanese haiku poets wrote haiku without verbs,adverbs,adjectives ,hence my 
title today.Of course they wrote in Japanese so such a theory do not always easily 
cross/transfer linguistic barriers....

Never, Always, Sometime

Never say never for you may have to eat your words!
Always have faith in yourself when choosing to be heard!
Sometime life gets a little rough let not your vision be blurred!
Never, Always, Sometime, words of wisdom, modifying adverbs.

My mind makes many words.
I find adverbs and verbs.

Some thoughts upset my nerves.
When caught, an art it serves.

And when the thought is out,
it’s then the write has clout.

To pass the anxious hour,
art has so much power.

I was holding on to my lifeline of regular adjectives when they hissed.
Turning into a snake that twisted me into a frenzy and bit my ankle.
What the heck! The adverbs were laughing. I hate you now I told them.
I can never hold my feelings when the muse gets off the chain like this.
Windy breezy thoughts today....

I live in a world of words
That constantly spins around
A solar system filled with verbs
And planetary nouns

Syllables that hold me down
Like the 3 in gravity 
Consonants in and out 
Is the oxygen I breath

Adjectives and adverbs
My galaxy abounds
In this world I live of words 
That constantly spins around...

Poems and Poetry

Have celebrated
Verbs right way conjugated
My poem was splendid.

Adverbs all correct
Subject and verb both connect
Poem now has ended.

Is no better way
Keep simple so you can say
What I intended.

Effort exerted
Muscles and mind now hurted
They now are mended.

James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

Astounding spot for poems to arrive
Babbling brook of adjectives blooming
Cool waters of creativity congregating
Delectable phrases flowing with sheer delight
Enthusiastic muse enjoys nature’s essence
Fortuitous this inspirational place found
Gleeful gratitude to be her welcome guest
Highlands magic in this little sliver of heaven
Jumping adverbs splash with joy in jubilancy...

I finally stopped belittling myself for not knowing them all.
Because who does? 
I mean, really, WHO?
Maybe my mother.
No one else in my family.
There are 600,000 of them in the English language.
Homophones like ate and eight.
Adjectives like gurgling and bungling.
Adverbs like actively and mactively
Okay I made up mactively
So I guess that makes six hundred thousand and one....

Climb the knowledge tree
Choose a book
Open it kindly
Our leaves are shook

Welcome to all
We are glad you are here
Find a great novel
That you can hold dear

Go as high as you can
And even higher still
We have adjectives and adverbs
To give you a thrill

Climb the knowledge tree
And as you get near the top
Know you can jump to another tree over
This is no place to stop...

The parts of speech
Subject, verb, predicate
Chosen adverbs and adjectives
Writer’s choice, writer’s glorious delight
Delighting, inciting scribbles
Unfolding on paper
Magnificent
Words

Fulfilled living me.
Following spirit.
Dancing my soul dance.
Insanely myself.
Completely joyful.

Follow my dreams.
Advise myself.
Meditation
Spirit guided

Living large
Being me
Soul feeling.

To the public the man shows herbs
For Advert hundreds of proverbs
"Your worries and mine wisdom curbs!"
Lots of Adjectives and Adverbs;
On roads blares, neither dumb on kerbs
Voice screaming hoarse near touring Serbs...

But the Old Seller of New Herbs
Settles for nothing short of blurbs,
The problems of voice pitched high curbs
And down brings number of proverbs...

"Buyers I see less for sung herbs"...

remembered lines
of poetry from youth
just pretty poems
the adjectives and  adverbs
hypnotizing my heart

the poetic spell
almost consuming my life
from houseman to frost
and back to shakespeare
and dying inside for truth

so simple and silent
devoid of actual words
so memorable
useless dreams of prized stuff
carried away by wind and stars

Soon I was looking
at real stars and mountain crests
without prettys rosy fins
looking really looking
without judgement try to be...
