Ok, my poetic peons of the pencil persuasions. Time to get the cerebral engines running. Alison has sharp pencils ready.... The assignment is to use the same words as nouns and verbs in a poem of your making. Do it four times with four different words... For example.... I had a horse called Charley Who loved to horse around. He loved to munch on barley Whenever it could be found. He took me on a wild goose chase And chased me till I dropped. He eyed me for a bit and when He saw my eyes, he stopped. Be as creative as you can and let's see what you can come up with.  |

" He loved to munch on barley Whenever it could be found " I came upon a puzzle. That was a mystery to me ; But with close observation The answer I plainly see. I came upon a PUZZLE.

" He loved to munch on barley Whenever it could be found " You didn’t highlight ( Munch a verb)) or ( Found a noun ) If I am wrong , what did you mean by the last two lines in the first paragraph ? Found is an obscure word for eat, at least my Grandmother thought so. Balladeer, if you say I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. |

Balladeer, you really know how to keep a hillbilly in suspense. |

Chopsticks, there was no example in the last two lines of the fist paragraph. Those were just some lines I jotted down to give examples of the lesson. The words to pay attention to are written in bold letters. |

Hi Deer Sir, Here’s my attempt. Sunday Matrimonial Read Sunday matrimonial read, “Looking for a guy who can cook, Because I can’t afford to hire a cook, And who is good to look.” Another very interesting read, “I am fair, tall and slim, Looking for a guy, who loves to swim, If interested call me, we can go out for a swim.” Another read from that newspaper, “Hi I am a copywriter by profession, I hate guys, who copy rights, If you are original, please contact me.” The last one, I couldn’t read anymore, “I like collecting costly watches, I like watching bull fights, Contact me if you want to really fight.” So I stopped subscribing, To that crazy newspaper, Never, ever do I wanted to read, That weird Sunday matrimonial read.

Hey, Prasad! Nicely done! This is very clever. That copywriter and copy rights was especially neat, as was the way you incorporated them all into classified ads. Take a bow, sir, for a fine job  |

I sit on the green sway under weeping willow tree I sway my dream into the emerald air I dream that your bright light shines wings to fly me free To wing me to a far away place of fair Where love lights a sorrow sigh to air aroma plea And soft fingers calm the spring of bitter tears |
