The day when poetry went wry!

In today’s news
from the stanza diversity society
and poetry polls magazine.
Both have announced
that verbs have gone on strike.
Nouns in poetry will remain,
but we can only surmise
or postulate on
what are they doing.
Poetry in motion refused to comment.
No action can be taken,
we have no verbs,
all have done a runner.

A poem now is as follows:
She naked,
no clothes
on bed,
he on bed
flames below,
a bed of roses,
lust, love
their day to day needs.

For some reason this works really well.
At first i thought quirky,
But the end is a poem to itself, and I got it.
Super creative on your part. Brilliantly done.
Cheers!

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Verbs are action words said my primary school teacher. I have never forgotten that. A sentence has to have a verb in it. Leave out the verb and it's like eating my nutty cornflakes without milk. That's where you took me Andrew. All the best.

INdeed Chris, all is not moving without the verbs. Hope you are well, thanks for reading, I shall visit, writing on a tablet as my computer windows seven no longer works properly.

Without "verbs" there is no movement...
just sleeping softly until the "adverbs" bring in
the Verbs to their "sentence". truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Lol yes pat you are correct. What is life without a verb but a dull noun!
