Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v6

Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v6

We added words, one by one, quickly,

onto the blackboard in the front of the classroom

their little arms raised, thrust, into the air,

sometimes too excited to wait.

Colorful language blurted out, passionate,

their urgent important words.

They were nouns, verbs, and adjectives

words of a walk in the forest, details,

pulled from their imagination, experience.

All are worthy, all are valid, at least for him, for her,

each one who named them, who spoke them out loud

all are written down, carefully, to be used.

Together we wrote a poem, stringing the words together,

communally knitting the lines, amid laughter, easy, fun,

before they wrote their own poem with their own words.

They used their own Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives

and Adverbs, so daringly!
