Noun And Adjective


I am the noun

You are the adjective

both are unrelated in substance

the noun changes-

shape, size, colour and meaning

the adjective follows it

chameleon like with

focal adjustments to catch

the form and spirit.

But can it ever?

 

The morning dew drops

give a pearly shape to the flowers

but when the sun touches mid point

the petals dry up

the adjectives change

their epithets wobble.

 

When the flower droops

in drowsy stupor

the adjective darkens

the petals close 

in the fading hour

a noun is lost

the adjective is lost too.
