Ah the Adverb (Haiku)


Why is it so hard
In modifying the verb
To use the adverb

Not "I made it safe"
But rather "made it safely"
It just sounds better

Some already are
Such as in "The ball flew fast"
There is distinction

Incorrectly used
Such as, "That is a fast girl"
But well understood

(To make it safe would have different meaning, such as something dangerous, like a loaded gun, was made not so, as in unloading it.)
