A writing exercise recently posted in my online writing group was named the Adjective Project. Actually, it should have been called The Missing Adjective Project because the goal was to write a descriptive poem or story using few nor no adjectives. It happened to coincide with another morning at which my kitchen window revealed a bountiful display of moonflowers. Here is the missing adjectives poem. I might have done without the rest of the words, since a picture can be worth a thousand of them…
I greet morning as I see moonflowers blooming at dawn.
Each flower opened at dusk,
welcomed darkness as I slept,
kept watch while I dreamed.
Daylight washes over them,
folding their covers and saying goodbye
. Vine twines at window,
dressing with lacey curtains
of leaf and shadow.
