Write a short poem using words that start with prefixes or end with suffixes. Highlight them in bold to stand out. Experiment with these tasks and enhance your linguistic abilities!

Here is an example:

In a wonderful land where dreams take flight,
A misunderstood creature roams through the night.
With wings that flutter and eyes that sparkle,
It unfolds its story, a magical marvel.

The playful breeze whispers secrets so sweet,
While endless adventures wait at our feet.
With friends beside us, we venture and roam,
In a carefully crafted, enchanted home.

"Unstoppable Dreams"

In a world unseen, where hopes unfold,
Nonstop journeys of the brave and bold.
Misguided paths may lead astray,
But redefined dreams will light the way.

"Gentle Whispers"

In the softness of the night, secrets whisper,
With every flutter, the stars twinkle brighter.
A dreamer’s heart, full of wonder,
In the quiet, we feel the thunder.

"The Journey"

With disbelief, I took my first stride,
A fearless heart, my dreams as my guide.
Through unfamiliar paths, I wandered, I roamed,
In the endlessness of night, I found my way home.
