Vocab Ballet

Get your dictionaries before reading the poem, and comment below the words you knew and the words you learned.

Here in the wonders of vocabulary,

each word plays its own grand jury

In this lexicon ballet, words pirouette

a dance of words set forever free.

Etymology waltzes a linguistic duet

Oxymorons twirl in paradoxical delight

Anaphora echoes a repetitive trance.

syllables march are grand comrade.

Imageries give bright enhance.

Hyperboles soar to an extravagant height.

metaphors bloom like blossoms in spring.

Alliteration, a rhythmic parade.

similes sing a harmonious fling.

juxtaposition paints the canvas bold.

Irony weaves tales both young and old

Synonyms and antonyms dance hand in hand.

Contrasting shades of the poet's stand.

adverbs shimmer, adorning the prose

verbs leap and twirl, crafting tales anew

nouns stand as pillars, sturdy and strong,

Adjectives dance with flair, a vibrant hue

from the fervent heat of passion's fire

the gentle touch of love's desire

Each word a gem, a jewel in its own right,

With meanings subtle, bold, and pure, alight.

a vast expanse of language's domain,

Where words and phrases intertwine and reign.

Let the Vocab Ballet frangrance bloom

We find the power to express and consume.
