The Word Party'
by Richard Edwards.
Loving words clutch crimson roses,
Rude words sniff and pick their noses,
Sly words come dressed up as foxes,
Short words stand on cardboard boxes,
Common words tell jokes and gabble,
Complicated words play Scrabble,
Swear words stamp around and shout,
Hard words stare each other out,
Foreign words look lost and shrug,
Careless words trip on the rug,
Long words slouch with stooping shoulders,
Code words carry secret folders,
Silly words flick rubber bands,
Hyphenated words hold hands,
Strong words show off, bending metal,
Sweet words call each other 'petal',
Small words yawn and suck their thumbs
Till at last the morning comes.
Kind words give out farewell posies...
Snap! The dictionary closes.
Last week we read the poem "The Word Party" by Richard Edwards. Thanks to Ms McAndrew's Class, Co Kildare for sharing this poem with us on twitter.
Cyruz favourite words were the sly ones who were foxes. Dean liked the foreign words that were lost and shrugged. David's favourite were the silly words that were messing with bands.
