Hi Aiona,
This is a poem of adjectives which shows your rebellion to following rules of writing. Sometimes people can be too wordy in their writing. Being terse is good.
Did you cross out all the adjectives as a metaphor for not using nouns?
It does make it slightly harder to read.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good day.
Joan

You might think you do it too often, but you rock at writing so you are using them most effectively (my big one is adverbs). Nice, nice job. So talented you are and a blessing to many!!

I do this too. Great little piece here and the picture is me only I am female. The problem is I can never think of the proper noun to use!

    Thank you. Yeah, I struggle with adverbs. I use them far too frequently, I guess.

What a clever piece, Aiona! Not only do I like the conceit of the poem, I love the words you so aggressively marked out in favor of the remainder!

I can understand what you are saying because I am afraid I do the same thing. But one of these days I intend to take a course or two so I can get better. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks, Misrael. I am doing my best to cut out the adverbs. They call it "lazy writing," right? Man, it didn't feel like it when I was trying to figure out all the adverbs I could use for this poem!
