A noun
It stands on solid ground
And may not want to fool around
With a verb who’d need to prove
That it could rouse it, make it move.
An adjective might think it best
To decorate it, get it dressed.
And prepositions, have you heard?
Connect them to another word.
 
Yet out of all the nouns I’ve known
Some prefer 
To stand alone.
 
The End.

The conjunction could have linked up phrases and clauses. Without much hesitation or pauses. I really loved this and enjoyed reading your poetry. I read a few lines when I’m sent some to my email!! If it doesn’t interest me I move on right away. You were fun and interesting. I’m writing everyday now but it’s a novel. Hope you are having a great time and safe during these plagued times God bless!

A lovely creative poem in which I see that noun as a metaphor. Regards // paul
