Things you can invent using the English language.
There was a frank exchange of words.
Numerous nouns were fired
in return for s volley of verbs
full of venom and fury.
Some angry adjectives were thrown
in response to arguable adverbs
cornered by commas.
A cyclone of consonants and vowels,
primed for speed and precision,
screamed through the air.
The frank exchange of words was over.
The conflict ceased
and constraint prevailed.
Their sentence was silence
ending with a full stop.
