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]

If its straight out of the tank it's usually easy to relate to and this one is, I am now waiting for the follow up poem Nouns :-)

[Moonie]

Hahaha! I am not sure about nouns, since I ve always liked them. I can write a love poem, I suppose......
:P

[BL]

That would be nice, but totally up to you. Thanks for your poetry

[Alfred Kukitz]

Scribbling usually indicates subconscious thinking which is a great source for me. You should try it to. I like the idea you presented about verbs with a story a bit sad.

[Moonie]
