Power and More

Power and more.

With each new task, these words we know,
Their meaning and use we must bestow,
From trace to predict, each one unique,
In poetry, their power we will seek.

We start with trace, to follow the trail,
Of words and thoughts that never fail,
To lead us where we need to go,
And help us see what we don't yet know.

Analyze comes next, to break it down,
And pick apart each thought and sound,
To see the pieces, big and small,
And understand the whole of it all.

Infer then comes, to read between,
The lines and words that we have seen,
To find the meaning that's not so clear,
And make it plain for all to hear.

Evaluate is next, to weigh and judge,
The words and thoughts that we must nudge,
To see if they hold up to scrutiny,
And if they do, to use them beautifully.

Formulate is then, to create anew,
From what we've learned and what we knew,
A poem that speaks with grace and style,
And makes our readers stop and smile.

Describe then comes, to paint a scene,
With words and phrases that are clean,
To help our readers see and feel,
The emotions that our words reveal.

Support comes next, to back it up,
With evidence that fills the cup,
Of knowledge and truth that we seek,
And helps us write with skill and technique.

Explain is then, to make it clear,
The meaning and purpose we hold dear,
To help our readers understand,
We make our words more in demand.

Summarize comes next, to tie it all,
Together in a neat and small,
Package of words that tell the tale,
Of what we've learned and what we've unveiled.

Compare then comes, to see the like,
In what we've written and what we strike,
To find the common ground we share,
Make our readers know we care.

Contrast is then, to see the light,
In what we've written and what we might,
Find different and unique as well,
To make our readers think and dwell.

And finally, predict is last,
To see the future and hold it fast,
To write a poem that's yet to be,
And make our readers want to see.

With these words at our command,
We'll write a poem that's simply grand,
And show the world what we can do,
With words that are both old and new.
