She was a noun--
No.
She is adjective.
Yes.
Like a simile,
A metaphor with a rhyme.
And her hair, curly as a rhyme
In the afternoon rhyme.
Her descriptive lips puff adjective
On the verb cigarette.
While a thin silk metaphoric dress
Hangs lazily from her *******
Like an echoing simile...
Word by word, I verb her.
