Just Call Me A Wordy-A*s Adjective Man

Just having a bit of fun with the reality of who & what I am: An Adjective Man (See the works of Thomas Wolfe). We are nothing more than who and what we are ... We can be nothing else ...

Just Call Me A Wordy-A*s Adjective Man

Sentences are best, when they do not run-on,

paragraphs are better in sentence's dozens,

rather than long-winded barrages of minions.

Just call me a wordy-a*s adjective man,

one who speaks incessantly of unceasing,

but does know that message he seeks to speak.

Call me a Clanger, a harbinger of ominous danger.

Call me a babbler, or a tall tale's gurgling gossiper.

Call me an inanely insane conspiracy theorist,

but what I am is a research writer who does strive

to be nearest the truth when lies are driven away,

when darkness is scattered, to reveal light of day.

Call me what you will, what you might, what you may.

Call me to supper on any month's given light of day.

Call me a fool, an idiot's maroon of imbecile's play.

But I glean facts of substantiality to set on display:

Facts concrete of set before your eyes as indisputable.

The only fools are they who turn a blind eye to reality.

I cause a commotion, because I speak with emotion.

That, my friend, is what adjectives do seek to do:

Convey emotional thoughts of innermost feelings,

that need no revealing of soon being reeled in,

Adjectives, my friend, paint to every page imagery,

and that from a writer's inner most place of within.

Just call me a wordy-a*s adjective man.

I am most pleased of proud that I am:

A Wordy-A*s Adjective Man ...

I agree with you Marvin; I think adjectives portray people, objects, anything you wish to speak of in detail ; to describe a personality, to delve into a person's emotions, one must use adjectives.... or else they are nothings, not known to anyone.... I use them a lot because it's reality for a person's inner self and his/her life. I really like this!
Best, B

Alla,

My Poetry is nothing more than just rambling babbling scribbling upon time worn tattered pages of ages and the time when I held a woman (my only Wife of ever in this Life of Married, Divorced, & Married Twice ever so nice0 whom I loved (shall always Love & Long For) truly and dearly, though my behavior did not always demonstrate as such at that belated and wished for as now distant time ... Looking back: I felt I had never been loved, and so gave the promise of Love a shove away from me and all that I knew I entailed ... But her Love was True, even though I didn't know it at the time of stupidity's blindness of I didn't knew, my heart and mind totally askew, bent, mangled, and twisted in ever so many pieces of askew ... I wrote this piece of half a*s horse s**t Poetry as an honest attempt to crawl out of the Six Foot Under pit wherein she now lies COVIDly, resides (1'7'23), as so many wonderful. Unforgettable, never regrettable, always closest to my heart's mind, memories that I shall never, ever in this piece of s**t Life that we all are forced to live, forget, nor wish to, NEVER in the never of any ever of that which is simply NEVER! (Look to the left of my Profile pic – and view that smile upon her beautiful face!!!!!!) ... After a long and hard childhood with a Mom & Step-Dad who meant well (but, F**k, you could never tell by their promiscuously sexual actions) I do attest and proclaim to persevere: To remain both Honest & Straightforward, though I do realize that my approach to Life could use a little tweaking of here and there ...

I see a very kind face....Struggles, losses, memories...all growing paths to self ultimately leaving us with ourselves face to face.... Your poetry is poignant and honest!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is fun....I try so hard to get my writing students to use many more adjectives and adverbs, rather than all those words that just delay getting to the point.
this gave me a big smile, Marvin...thank you.

Jacob (Ya'acov),

Thank you for reading and understanding the underlying humor within this attempt to return to reality, that which existed before my wife's fatality ...
