Adjectives Bounce On My Couch

Whimsy roams around my living room Flipping the curtains, laughing at my consternation But really do I care? Not a wit. Fanciful language slips into a sliver of the floor Skidding to a stop in front of the mouse carcass A stench that is losing its potency. Adjectives bounce up and down on the couch Treating it like the trampoline that it is. I pop my hazel eyes, feeling a speck of irritation. Of course Trixie, my muse is lying on her back. Kicking her legs up in the air, chortling. Tuesday. Forcing myself to try…. One scribble after another.
