Verbs

Just a scribble

But of course,

there are verbs in this world. 

Terrifying, exhausting, excruciating,  exasperating

verbs.

And then there are

broken hearts.

There are chipped mugs,

and creaky doors,

heavy bills and

wasteful "evermores".

There are acids, bases and salts,

and an entire manual

 on how to disassemble drawers, 

there are spiteful words,

and that brings us 

back to the verbs--the damned verbs.

Author's Note

Just a scribble.
Inactivity is bliss, and I have every right to hate verbs. I know, i know, you are thinking that without them, no sentence would be complete--we can live on phrases, I suppose. :P

I actually saw many adverbs there too. Were you just doing your chemestry homework when writing that poem? :D
It seems you were trying to embrace and sumarize a little bit of this vast world we live in. It is interesting the fact that you can lost a little trying to think about the theme, but then you realize those little descriptions (love, daily life, nature, life experiences) are in fact verbs, the whole sense of your poem.
Nice poem, it made me laugh, verbs are so important in language as oxigen is so important for breathing. :)

I was thinking about chemistry homework, yes! :D And yes(didn't I just use another yes?..) trying to summarize the vast array of words that we waste everyday, was my intention. Damn, I have never been good with long comments, or I would have written one for your adorable review! :)

[Moonie]

And I am glad it made you laugh! :))

[Fernando Dardón]

I'm glad you enyojed my review, as I did with your poem. :D

[Coyote Poetry]

Great use of thoughts. I liked how you gave the damned verbs credit for your bad place. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You make me laugh again and again. Phrases still require being verbs, don't they? You have the greatest writing voice, soft and sophisticated, gentle and humorous. Brilliant concept and execution. :)

[Moonie]

Haha, they do.. but wouldn't it be nice if we could just kick all the verbs right in the...........shins. ;) I am glad I could make you laugh...:)

[Daydreamer]

What about breaking down the third line & the last one? It'd sustain the alignment of the poem!

[Moonie]

Avoy! Sorry for the delay...the third line is supposed to be extremely long, and excruciating(exasperating etc etc) to read. The last one, well I could but then the comic effect would decrease somewhat because there would be a rest in the punch line. Thank you for brightening my page with your review, dearest sagacious!!! :) :) ♥♥♥

[Daydreamer]

Aw then! If that's how you meant for it to be read, that's 'smart' and I applaud you for that! Oh, you're most welcome :P .... Weird how I missed out that turn despite being somehow 'sagacious':P

[Woody]

and a nice scribble, too! I'm with you on that one. let's all go: DOWN WITH THE VERBS!
nouns and adjectives are nicer. everybody knows that.

[Moonie]

Exactly my point!! Thank you for visiting! :))

[Bright Ocean Star]

I like this one, too!!!! and I like verbs! Heee-heee!

[Moonie]

I am glad you find them capable of love, dearest ocean star! Personally those little vermins (verbs) always get to me.

[Shadow Paradox]

You should have added grammar too lol grammar and I don't get along too well. This made me laugh a little because its so true. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and also the reality of life is highlighted here too; broken hearts, chipped mugs etc something meaningful and deep is etched in those words. Beautiful piece here.

[Jack Wolfe]

Quite an interesting read, Verbs, who can live with them, or without them; they entail all, describe every facet of our lives, not to mention the written word. Well done.

[Bluefire]

Those darn verbs. Everything always goes back to a verb. Lol
Well done, I like this scribble. It's very creative. ^^

[C. Rose]

I like this. The listing gives it strength. It feels like a controlled random, if that's possible.
I like the inclusion of hurtful, descriptive, and dull (manuals) words. I enjoyed the broad spectrum.

Well penned.

[Moonie]

I am really happy you liked this. =))
