Definition Poetry



This is a word count poem of 25 words.
The pattern is like this:  The poem is 9 lines lone and each line has a set number of words:

  1. One Word--------The first word is the word you are going to define.
  2. Two Words------Followed by the words defining line one.
  3. Three Words
  4. Four Words
  5. Five Words
  6. Four Words
  7. Three Words
  8. Two Words
  9. One Word--------Then if possible use a synonym for line one 
                                      or some cleaver ending.



Example but when you are done you can eliminate the numbers:
  1. DOUBT                                  --by tex norman
  2. When you
  3. ask a child
  4. who ate the cookie
  5. and the child says they
  6. have no idea and
  7. yet they are
  8. chewing something
  9. crunchy. 
Just try defining some short common words or unusual words in this manner.  It could be enough for a book all by itself.
