Abstract Nouns
Things you seek but cannot find are plainly abstract nouns
Your youth-fountain is one bind
despite hunting by Crowns
Things you trust but cannot see are clearly abstract nouns
Your supreme faith is one plea
appealing for whole towns
Things you buy but cannot own are bluntly abstract nouns
Your fine home-site is one loan
with lots of upside-downs
Things you feel but cannot hold are simply abstract nouns
Your sweet romance is one told
in laughter by the clowns
Things you know but cannot tell are merely abstract nouns
Your deep knowledge does excel
regardless of the frowns
Things you see but cannot touch are purely abstract nouns
Your cosmic star is one such
flouncing gossamer gowns
