Sun Sets On Adverbs

Rhyming wordplay

Why do skies cry
colors like lovers together
When clouds are molten again
reds flame newlywed's bed
Where lust, shares bare
yellows of mellow shows
who paint two true
Chorals in floral turmoil
what skies strut uncut
Blues, that few knew
how love, allows wow!

Author's Note

Jus' playin' around with words. Fun! I would love it if someone who speaks another language could translate this. See how all the rhymes and parts of speech translate into your language.

for ",,just playin' around.." i think this is a really good poem .. the sky and clouds and colors all uniting in two lovers .. this line for me is killer, sir "Chorals in floral turmoil" .. i read this out loud right off and the lines are smooth sailing ... a sky ship into wonderland says i! well done!

Thanks E! I agree. And that line came when I searched for other orange colors. Choral came up. Just what I needed. Orange is not the most poetic sounding word, not to mention rhyme with. As I wrote for fun it did start to feel more like something real. Thanks for recognizing that.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes .. something real ... that's the phrase i was looking for ;)

I can hardly, ever, remember what an Adverb is, so this was fun to read. :)

I love the way you play with adverbs... there is nothing more colorful than a couple in a passionate state of mind.... colors all meld together to make a fusion of psychedelic fun.. I'm so glad you use them like I do, it creates such vivid imagery.... thank you for sharing!
Best, B

Your fun with words paid off. I like this very much. Plenty of colour, emotion and rhyme in a short well crafted poem. Good job.

Thanks Chris. One of those 'writes themselves' poems. Wasn't sure where it would go and it took me into more than I thought it would be.

I don't think I can be a wordplayer like You are. yes love is all colors as all sounds, for each color an "adverb". all come from the sky down to earth or melt from earth up to the sky in colors... it depends on the situation and the adverb ;>

[William Michael Reeves]

Melting words in the sky. Smells like a poem to me! The colors are incense the sun burns. The melting words mix with the ash to form the ink we write with. Hmmmm.
