Order of Adjectives

Adjectives are describing words. If I say "John is playing with a blue ball." then the word "blue" describes the colour of the ball.

Write a poem by repeating the first line but each time adding another adjective.

For example:

On my way to the zoo I saw a bear.
It was a brown bear.
It was an ugly, brown bear
It was a wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was a hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an escaped, hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
And it wanted to eat me!

Now create your own start sentence and get creative (If you’re stuck, use the sentence about John)

What I’d Cook for My Teacher (rhyming poem)
by Bruce Lansky

If I cooked hot lunch for my teacher, (A)
I would start out with rattlesnake stew. (B)
Then I’d serve her a centipede salad (C)
And a tall glass of milk mixed with glue(B)
Next, a seaweed and jellyfish sandwich (D)
For dessert, an a-chooberry pie.(E)
When my teacher finds out what she’s eaten, (F)
I hope the old bat doesn’t die! (E)
