Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v2

We added words, one by one

onto the blackboard

in front of the classroom

little arms raised in the air

sometimes too excited to wait

words blurted out,

urgent important words

They were nouns, verbs, and adjectives

words of a walk in the woods

All are worthy, all valid

at least for him, for her

the ones who named them

String together, communally

amid laughter, easy, fun

together writing a poem

before they wrote their own

with their own words

Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives

and Adverbs, daringly!
