Use the noun phrase generator to write a poem about the
experience of the First World War. You don’t have to use all
the columns, but you do have to use a noun at the head of
your extended noun phrase. You can make nouns singular or
plural. You can decide what punctuation you will need and
experiment with different choices.
For example:
Fierce with fear,
troops
burning over the top;
Craters
punched out like giant fists;
No-man’s-land
dazed by a hail of steel.
Faces
- red poppies – hanging beyond reach,
Bones
left behind beneath the moon,
Broken under a pile of stones.
