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.
