I've found that when writing, verbs can do so much if you just let them. The brilliant thing about the english language is that we have hundreds of words that have the same general meaning, but express such different emotions and traits of the same thing.
In Writer's Craft last year, we were encouraged to keep a verb list so that we could have the best words for our scenarios at all time.
I thought it would be interesting if we compiled a TFP Verb List.
Here are some of mine:
gleam
clutch
samba
bludgeon
gush
rupture
amble
lumber
saunter
snigger
seethe
divulge
sing
revel
hyperventilate
palpitate
What do you have?
