Random Poet Exquisite Corpse help

Question:
I'm trying to create a program that reads in words from a file and places the
words into seperate arrays based on category(noun,adjective,verb..etc)
The file only reads in the first word of the file. I think I need a loop in readInput(); but I'm not sure how. If anyone familar with the java scanner class could help that would be great. I'm also unsure about the definition of addW() in the WordArray class.
Files:
//Verse.java needs to read in a series of lines from a text file called part-of-speech.txt
// part-of-speech.txt is a file that has a word seperated by a letter representing the words category. Each word and category is seperated by a tab
/* lay out of part-of-speech is as follows:
aaerially v
aaerialness N
aalii N
aardvark N
aardwolf N
aardwolves p
aarogramme h
aaron's rod |h
aarp |N
aas |N
ab N
ab aeterno h
ab extra h
