Powerful verbs are action words that do so much more than saying what is going on. They help the reader to understand and visualize exactly what the author is trying to portray. Instead of saying that "the man jumped over the fence", one might say that the man "bounded" over it. Sashyed creates a much more brilliant sentence than simply stating that somebody walked. A light becomes much brighter when it goes from lighting the room to illuminating the room. The word doesn't have to be a word that makes everybody grab a dictionary in order to be a good verb. A dimly lit lightbulb might glow rather than just be lighting the room. The verb is simply more powerful if it helps the reader paint a better mental picture.
