Rules of the Game : Starting with the given word, form a sentence, without using prepositions, pronouns or conjunctions. Poetic or wacky, it is entirely your choice. Points are not awarded, just based on the length of the sentence, vocabulary and expression also counts! The word given here is
Falling .....
Falling leaves swirl languorously gliding, swaying, creating a beautiful pattern, the blue sky, the canvas.

Falling down served many a purpose, including a smashed ladder, heralding a tinkling laugh, making matters worse indeed.

Whoa! That is really hard for a wordy person like me! I will have to give it a try, but that is real exercise. It took me back to eighth grade, and memorizing prepositions and adverbs, and adverb phrases . . . .
Falling sand dims vision, creating new worlds challenging our senses, exotic, alternately terrifying, beautiful, sense-numbing; manifesting gritty surfaces, disappearing landscapes, blurred outlines.
I cheated; I used a semi-colon!
that was great!! could almost see the falling fine sand doing all those stuff!
hmmm for the use of 'our' mebe some marks will be deducted!! :) semicolon ofcourse is allowed.
thanks a ton for making this more fun.
Watching things falling gracefully, gradually is a envious sight that is fascinating, be it rain, autumn leaves, a skyscraper being demolished, a child being playfully tripped by his frined, a pack of cards built carefully and patience, a pile of wooden blocks tumbling apart, a towering skyscraper being dismantled, the dangling round ball swinging rhythmically and undeterred.

that was a beautiful image, things falling gracefully, gradually!
More points except for few minor appearances of prepositons and pronouns, its almost perfect! :)
Thanks for passing by my blog. How is the blogging scene in K8? Best wishes.
this is sooooo exciting...most of the blogger tag games are asinine to say the least. this is truly challenging. am gonna try my wits now. :-)
"Stormy anguished tears falling across the face revealed much of the despair within, unmitigated grief that threatened to engulf all, trailing complete devastation in its wake."
@ driftwood - such a pleasure to have someone respond to my absurd attempts at 'creating' word games, and being told it is not 'asinine'!! :-)
and great attempt too,and nice flow of emotions.
I know this post is old but liked the idea:
falling rain drops create rippling waves, each droplet shimmering golden hues, making a scarlet moon-lit sky a beautiful backdrop, enriching a poetic mind.
nice to know that the game still appeals to a few! :) that was lovely, keep coming!
