On the Beach

Sham s. Misri

Sun heating,

Waves beating,

Sea splashing,

Waves crashing

      

       Gulls floating,

       People boating,

       Air bracing,

       Boats racing

Friends meeting,

Picnic - eating,

Rock pools swishing,

Children fishing

       People swimming,

       Sun dimming,

       Rain lashing,

       Lightning flashing

Storm blowing,

People going

      

The parts of speech ( A poem)

Sham S. Misri
 

Every name is called a noun,

As field and fountain, street and town.

In place of noun the pronoun stands,

As he and she can clap their hands.

The adjective describes a thing,

A magic wand and a bridal ring.

The verb means action, something done-

To read, to write, to jump, to run.

How things are done, the adverbs tell,

As quickly, slowly, badly, well.

The preposition shows relation,

As in the street, or at the station.

Conjunction joins in many ways,

Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase.

The interjection cries out “Hark!

I need an exclamation mark!”

Through poetry we learn how each,

Of these make up the parts of speech.
