Playing with the Parts of Speech

By: Mia Palencia

If a 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻 is something that nameth anything,
I have three little 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐬 that looks like 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 of a 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠;
𝐄𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐅𝐚𝐲𝐞 and 𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐧, who treat each other 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬,
playing to be the greatest 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬 in 𝐀𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧’𝐬 reign.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻 can be used to replace the noun in a sentence,
as 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 want to be great wizards, but not in the house of Slytherin.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 act as Cinderella, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 play the role of Mulan or even Princess Jasmine;
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 make 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 fairies and queens in 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 own world of heroism.

Whenever we describe a noun, 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 stand 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝;
as the 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 of them are all 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 and 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭, and all are 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝.
When they are all together, they are 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 as if they were standing on a cloud.
To stick together in each other’s presence seems like they are bound.

The 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯 is an action, which means something to be done;
as we 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 and 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 each other through ups and downs.
𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 together, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 together; they 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 so much fun.
They’ve 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐭 to 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 by faith. They deserves a crown.

How the verbs are done, surely the 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘀 can tell;
as to running 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 when they’ve heard their mothers yell.
They 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 become drama queens when one needs to bid farewell;
𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 and 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲, in what they do they often excel.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 used to know time, location as well as the relation;
as if hiding 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 the magic door or waiting 𝐚𝐭 the train station.
Mimicking Rapunzel up 𝐢𝐧 the mighty tower, playing their own creation;
or walk 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 the palace and watch the night of Elsa’s coronation.

The 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 joins words, phrases and clauses;
as they play along in the pond 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 they want to pick the lilies,
𝐛𝐮𝐭 the palace guards chased after them for hiding Mickey and Minnie;
and how they laugh 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 Potter’s wand brought them to Mississippi.

The 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 express surprises and everything that we feel;
like “𝐘𝐞𝐲!” they’re going to ride that big, big whale;
or “𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐲!” they’ll going with Alice in Wonderland for a meal,
and “𝐖𝐨𝐰!” The water in Barbie’s diamond castle can heal.

We can build our own story through parts of speech,
or play with them by creating a piece of prose or a poem with a little rhyming scheme.
We can learn much information through it in a very creative way
and enjoy the process of learning that we’ll surely understand better.
