Deviant TEMPLE

Wat Xiang Thong

Deviantly describe the scene without depending on the names of the objects to convey what they look like. That is, roof, fence, steps will conjure up mundane images for a reader. Dig into what objects look and feel like rather than telling what they are.

Capture the senses' experience. What does it feel like? What does it smell like? Taste like? Sound like?

Go further and find a mood or personality of the place and let those inspire the descriptive words you choose.

Try unexpected adjectives and vivid verbs. For example, svelt, sleek, oozing, crouching aren't words normally associated with places, but can create fresh images.

Cleanliness is next to godliness

From ROFLRazzi

Use as many words as you can but using only "safe for work" definitions, e.g., nothing about body parts or mating. :-) Feel free to play around with tenses and so forth.

It started with horn dog which struck me as an interesting word combination all on its own. Which set me off on a quest for words that could, um, go both ways. :-)

ROAD

.~          How does one Deviantly Describe?          ~.

Short version ...
From the given mundane, snoozer of a word, generate as many different-from-each-other descriptions as you can. (Set a timer for 10-15 minutes if you wish.)

Longer version ...
Is preserved at the HOME of the first Deviant Description.

Eternal silence

"Don't that make you suspicious, that the dead are keeping something back..." from the Witch of Coos.

Says the Doctor to his current companion as they step onto a green counterpart to the TARDIS littered with shrouded dead and neatly gathered bones.

Okay, you don't need to write Doctor Who fan fiction but set it in the future where explorers have found an alien catacomb and ossuary.
