Nothing in the world is as interesting as people make it.
They make up words to describe things,
and say just how it is.
I wonder, can we not see how it is for ourselves?
Relying on the descriptions of others
leaves no room for individuals to decide what their stand is.
The questions asked should be:
"How do I see this object?"
Not "How would he describe it?"
An apple looks one way to me,
But is something different to the other one.
I wouldn't presume to say how he sees it,
I don't know.
It's his stance, not mine.
I am one person,
With one person's views.
He is another person,
With his own views.
The same goes for everyone else I see.
In a world where everyone can think, touch, feel,
What's the use of adjectives?
Author notes
...As few adjectives as possible for me. I found it a little boring, but it was an interesting challenge.

Cute poem. I like how you sort of took the content of the contest and incorporated that into your work. Yes, at times, removing adjectives can make a poem seem boring, but I like to think of it as an interesting writing exercise. Glad you took me up on it and submitted something :

Thanks for putting the challenge up ^^
I enjoy writing out of the box, even if the product comes out a little awkward.
