Here is an example of an action poem:

Jump, hop, skip
Run, slide, slip
Playing at the park is so much fun

Climb, swing, slide
Hide, seek, ride
Adventure awaits us, let's explore outside

Laugh, shout, cheer
Sing, dance, hear
Our joy is contagious, and everyone is near

Sprint, leap, soar
Explore, adore, more
Our day is coming to an end, let's make the most of it before

This action poem is about playing at a park and having fun with friends. The stanzas are filled with action verbs that create a sense of movement and excitement. The last line of each stanza is a statement that ties the stanza together and adds to the overall theme of the poem. The use of poetic devices, such as alliteration and rhyme, add to the rhythm and flow of the poem.
