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!
