Word dung,

or politely put,
fertilizer --
nurturing foundation;
starter set for
stories and poems

Strong verbs

swirl, glide, ricochet
Trounce the weak

Weed out adjectives
Compost rich nouns

Morsels of

audacious
vocabulary
rambunctious
erudite
cantankerous
enrich the mix

Word guano
glorious, enduring
abundant
versatile
Cultivate it so
stories and poems
flourish
