Finding Lost Love

Often, I lose the verbs

and stumble upon nouns.

That’s when my readers

Leave my pages

And put me down.

Adjectives pester me all the while 

and adverbs whirl around.

Verbs are my love.

Energetic as they are,

And always on the move.

They’re my treasure trove.

Finding lost love is not easy,

Like dewdrop on a daisy.

You’ve got to start at dawn

And be after it like crazy.

Once you’ve won

Your job’s done.

Your readers are back

And you’re on track.

Love your verbs,

But don’t shun the nouns.

Welcome the pronouns,

And they’ll will not frown.

Writing is easy 

If you follow the rule.

Don’t keep it for later,

Start early at school!
