|  January and February's challenge was to write an ADVERB poem.
This appeared to be an easy challenge at first, but it proved quite a
challenge to members and there were not as many entries as usual.
However, those that were entered were really good:
telling a story in an atmospheric way.
Here they are - enjoy!
by Lorraine Nervously I write these words
Passionately in love with verbs
Jumping up and down with glee
Creaking my arthritic knee.
Hurting though my brain may be
Trying to keep up with thee
Laughing at the trot I write
Challenging this thing tonight.
Sadly I admit defeat
Crying,bunions on me feet
Screaming,I put on my shoes
Defeated,age gives me the blues....
by AdeleAn Amazing Phenomenon
Silently watching the scene unfold
The quiet figure slowly inched forward.
She found it almost impossible to breath.
Then, when she least expected it
The miracle occurred
She was struck dumb
Couldn’t say a word
Her heart was beating and full of joy
When the midwife said gently
‘It’s a healthy little boy.’

RANDOM ADS
Idiotically he wanders,
Lonely as a loon,
Perfectly preferring a
Wistful bay at the full moon.
Stupidly he wonders if
Agitated owls look down upon him
Spitefully, & spit pellets on the ground.
Crazily he mutters and
Disconsolately frowns,
Madly taking umbrage at his
Absurdly garbled sounds.

Drunkenly I slurped my whiskey from a bar room glass,
Boldly strutted through the door, a well developed lass.
Leeringly I gazed at her through alcohol glazed eyes,
Brazenly she looked right back, dress tight around her thighs.
Loudly I called out to her to sit down by my side,
Quickly she was next to me, her smile was warmly wide.
Slurpingly I asked her if she'd spend the night with me,
Laughingly she told me that I'd have to pay the fee.
Dejectedly I said that I just didn't have the money,
Unfeelingly she uttered, "You've just wasted my time, honey!"

The Disciplinary Interview
Softly falls the snow, oh no!
Silently forming drifts.
Anxiously standing at the bus stop
Impatiently glancing at my watch.
Sadly I give up,
Slowly walking home and
Hurridly sending a text,
Reasonably explaining how I tried.
Happily smiling at the reply
Conveniently: "Due to inclement weather,
All interviews regrettably postponed."
Incredibly this time, I haven't even had to lie!

You would need a very long scarf
If you happened to be a giraffe
You could get very hoarse
In the winter ,of course
And a cough is no cause for a laugh .!!!
