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.
