"Tag, You're It," He Said Poetically
(a dialogue tag poem)
by
Greg Pincus
"Cut them quickly," she said speedily.
"I want them gone," he said needily.
"Show don't tell," he said directly.
"Use them well," she said correctly.
"I hate adverbs," he said whinily.
"We're all done," she said finally.
It's a little silliness either designed to end your summer or to send you back to school, I type optionally. Regardless, I hope you enjoy!

"I think this poem points out the vicissitudes of possible adverbial harassment," she said verbosely.

This is great! I just linked to it on the TWT Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Two-Writing-Teachers/99419559826?ref=mf).
Have a great weekend!
Lots of fun. Thanks for providing a chuckle this Friday night, she typed quickly. :)
You addressed the subject of adverbs humorously!
"Thanks, y'all!" he said appreciatively.
"You've got talent, kid!" she yelled adamantly.
"I love it, and wish I had an iota of your poetic talent," she said enviously, while copying others' clever commenting format rather unoriginally.
"GREG! READING YOUR POMPOUS POEM ALMOST MADE ME CHOKE ON MY OWN SPIT!!!" I shouted loudly and haltingly.

"Wow, he's clever," she thought admiringly. Clicking away at her keyboard, she wondered, "Am I copying everyone else?"
I like it.
