This is an experimental fun piece to see if a poem can be written with adjectives only. What do you think? Does it work, or not?

Thank you for your response. You are a friend forever. I wrote this piece as a protest against those who frown on adjective overuse in poetry, just to see what response I get.

I posted this to another poetry group and everyone who has responded did so with negative voice; but you have responded wonderfully. I feel a new movement coming on.

Oh yes Ron, this poem does work... was it inspired
by green eyes?

If your eyes are green, then the answer will have to be yes; if not, then it was nature that inspired me.

Ron Sir,
I believe I do know who has green eyes.
She shines like the sun...

Missing green. But maybe the drought will go away and we'll have springing green. I like the construction of this one, and somehow it made me happy.

You certainly did it! Earthy airy lovely green! If love had a color, that would be it.
