His name is Icy. He's a rescue cat I provided care to, years ago.
He's also the same cat in my avatar.

A picture of Icy the rescue cat. He is awake from napping inside the Dogloo my Dad bought for the use of rescue cats whom I rescued. Icy is a white and gray-spotted Domestic Shorthair. He is very polite to humans. This photo was taken a few months after Icy was neutered in his adulthood.

An image captured from the GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It shows Mario and partner party member Ms. Mowz, as the two stand in Captain Cortez's office. The room is full of treasure, but because the game doesn't allow Mario to pocket any of the jewels, Ms. Mowz tells Mario nothing valuable is nearby. "Mmmm… I don't think there's anything near here, sweetie," she is saying visibly in a dialog ballon in this screenshot. Her ability is used to find collectible items, but the circumstances here make it sound like she's trying to avoid being cursed by Cortez for absconding with his treasure.

A screenshot of part of the fan-fiction work "The Legend of Kyogre?"

A screenshot of a section of the fanfiction "The Legend of Kyogre?" It says: May smiled and answered, “It is the power of my Pokémon that sustains me. The power of my Sharpedo’s Dive allows me to exist here in the depths of your realm.” It was true; Sharpedo’s Move exerted the most curious energy that seemed to turn the seawater that entered the girl’s nostrils into breathable air. Kyogre’s eyes flit from young girl to Pokémon below and back again. She spoke. “Tell me, what is your name, human child?” “My name is May Barnorman of Olivine City,” the girl answered. “Many legends have been told of your slumber beneath the waves of the sea. I knew in my heart that they were true. I wanted to be the first to prove that they were and meet you myself.” Kyogre spoke again. “Truly, why have you come? What do you seek?” May sought the truth. She wanted to know why Kyogre had locked herself away and so asked.

Rescue kitten Flurrie standing on all four legs, cutely looking out of the animal carrier before she was taken to the surrenders reception area at MSPCA-Angell animal welfare shelter in Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA. A plastic, portable litterbox was under her in case she needed to use the restroom on the way to the animal shelter. Before we left home she unknowingly stood over it as I took this photograph.

I grabbed her like #CatManChris does, kissed her on her forehead after her flea bath, and saved her.

Her name is Flurrie. She loves wet cat food and clean drinking water.

#Google helped me learn the proper use of #adjectives in poetry vs. in prose.

#writing #poetry #prose
Screenshot of a Google search-results AI summary: Generally, prose tends to utilize more adjectives than poetry to convey detailed descriptions and paint vivid pictures for the reader. Poetry, on the other hand, often favors conciseness and relies on carefully selected words and figurative language to evoke emotions and imagery in a more distilled form. Here's why: Prose aims for detailed observation and direct description. In prose writing, such as novels and essays, adjectives are crucial for building immersive worlds, describing characters, and setting scenes with precision. A prose writer might use several adjectives to describe a single noun to create a comprehensive image. Poetry prioritizes emotional impact and suggestive imagery. Part two of the description: Poets often rely on strong nouns and verbs, along with figurative language, to convey meaning and evoke emotions in a more condensed way. Overusing adjectives in poetry can disrupt the rhythm and flow and potentially dilute the emotional impact. For instance, consider these two descriptions of tears: Prose: "Her bitter, copious tears flowed like salty rivers down her cheeks". Poetry: "I cried bitter tears". The prose description uses several adjectives to provide a detailed and almost sensory experience of the tears. Conversely, the poetry example uses a single, well-chosen adjective to convey the emotional impact of the tears without providing excessive detail. Part three of the description: This is a generalization. Both prose and poetry can effectively use adjectives for various purposes. Some poetic styles may use them more than others. The key is to use them intentionally and skillfully, rather than simply counting them. Strong, vivid adjectives, used sparingly and effectively, can enhance any form of writing. However, overusing them can lead to cluttered or less impactful prose or poetry, as Fictionary notes and Fiction Yogi highlights highlight.
