      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      Jun 12, 2019

      A common admonition in creative writing pedagogy is, “Cut as many adjectives as possible.” I propose that this rule springs from mere prejudice. The post Stop Hating on Adjectives! appeared first on The Millions.

      Amos and Ann

      And the Journeying Man

      Copyright, 1921, by

      The author makes grateful acknowledgment of permission to reprint in this book verses that have appeared in The Youth’s Companion, St. Nicholas, and other periodicals.

      THE CONTENTS

      THE ILLUSTRATIONS

      ZODIAC TOWN

      Amos and Ann had a poem to learn,

      A poem to learn one day;

      But alas! they sighed, and alack! they cried,

      ’Twere better to go and play.

      Ann was sure ’twas a waste of time

      To bother a child with jingling rhyme.

      Amos said, "What’s the sense in rhythm—

      Feet and lines?" He had finished with ’em!

      They peered at the poem with scowly faces,

      And yawned and stumbled and lost their places.

      Then—a breeze romped by, and a bluebird sang,

      And they shut the book with a snap and a bang;

      Shut the book and were off and away,

      Away on flying feet;—

      Never did squirrels move more light,

      Or rabbits run more fleet!

      Over a wall and down a lane

      And through a field they ran;

      And Where shall we go? said Amos. "Oh,

      And where shall we stop?" cried Ann.

      Then all at once, round the curve of a hill,

      They pulled up panting and stood stock-still;

      For there, by the edge of a ripplety brook,

      In a deep little, steep little place,

      Sat a long-legged youth, with a staff and a book

      And a quaint, very quizzical face.

      His cap and his trousers were dusty green

      And his jacket was rusty brown,

      And he whittled away on sweet white wood,

      With shavings showering down.

      He whittled away ’twixt a laugh and a tune,

      With fingers as light as thistles.

      And what are you making? asked Amos and Ann.

      He said, I am making whistles.

      He finished one with a notch and a slit,

      And threw back his head and blew on it.
