What is an example of a strong verb poem?

Answer 1

The dog ate the bone.

Don’t you think that’s kind of weak?

The verb here is “ate”

But it needs a little tweak.

The dog ate the bone,

Let’s try another verb.

One that’s really fun to write,

One that’s quite superb.

The dog could devour the bone,

Nibble, gnaw, or munch it.

The dog could snark-up the bone,

Gobble, bite or crunch it.

The dog could consume the bone,

Oh yes, that dog could do it,

Inhale the bone, impale the bone,

Swallow, gulp or chew it.

So when you’re writing to impress,

Don’t use a verb that fizzles.

Think of every word you know,

And give me one that sizzles!

Answer 2

A strong verb poem is a type of poem that emphasizes action words to create vivid imagery and convey strong emotions. An example of a strong verb poem is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, which uses words like "sigh" and "trodden" to evoke a sense of decision-making and journeying through life.
