We added words, one by one
onto the blackboard
in front of the classroom
their little arms raised into
the air,
sometimes too excited to
wait.
Colorful words blurted out, passionate,
these urgent important words.
They were nouns, verbs, and
adjectives
words of a walk in the forest
pulled from their
imagination.
All are worthy, all are valid,
at least for him, for her,
the ones who named them
who spoke them out loud.
Stringing them together,
communally
amid laughter, easy, fun
together writing a poem
before they wrote their own
poem
with their own words.
They used Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives
and Adverbs, so daringly!
