👉 An instance of breaking something into two or more pieces.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look,
At this word ‘break,’ it’s quite a tricky hook!
The dictionary gives you the basic plea,
“Two or more pieces,” that's certainly key.
Think of a plate, dropped upon the floor,
Shattered in bits, and wanting something more –
That’s a
physical
break, a tangible sight,
A separation sudden, with all its might!
But “break” can mean much more, you see,
It's not just about things that shatter free.
Like when you
break
a promise, soft and low,
Or
break
a rule, letting goodness flow –
That’s a
emotional
break, a feeling deep,
A change in spirit, secrets to keep.
And sometimes we "break" a task with glee,
When trying something new, wild and free!
So 'break' can mean to separate, sharp and fast,
Or a shift in feelings that forever last.
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
