This is something we had to do in my English class last year. Construct a poem about anything using all the parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, interjection, pronoun, article, preposition, conjunction

All the world that sparkles
is venom
upon this epiphany
rests the revolution of a savior.
Oh, Coal-etching itself
into the breath of humanity,
realizing the birth
of a tainted people
yet only the invisible
stand petrified,
and few
lay paralyzed.
So many cower,
stripped of their compassion.
How then,
can those of grace
be revived?
and the hopeful
freed from the
clutch of an
egocentric society?
Faith lies only
in the intangible
and sequestered.

See if you can give it a try. If you see that I don't have a certain part of speech in mine, please let me know.

I narrate this poem to my kindergarten kids. They all liked it.
