My Loves

I love to see the big white moon, 1
A-shining in the sky; 2
I love to see the little stars 3
When the shadow clouds go by. 4

I love the rain drops falling 5
On my roof-top in the night; 6
I love the soft wind’s sighing, 7
Before the dawn’s gray light. 8

A Day at Play

By : Anonymous

In the park on a sunny day,
Where all the happy children play,
I see a kite up in the sky,
And colorful birds flying by.

The swings go up, and then go down,
While leaves dance gold and crispy brown,
My friends and I run round and round,
Our laughter makes the sweetest sound.

explain why the person regrets not paying attention to the sparrow.

YOU DO:

23

In the poem "The Sparrow," the person regrets ignoring
the bird because they missed a chance to experience
something special and peaceful. I know this because the
poem says "But we, in traffic's rush and din, Too deep
engaged to let them in" and "Nor know our loss till they
are gone." This shows that people are too busy with their
daily activities to appreciate the beautiful moments that
nature offers us, and they only realize what they've missed
after it's too late.

Nibbles

A poem by Rachel Delaney

Emerging from her nest, my hamster peeks,

Clutching a pumpkin seed in tiny paws

And gnawing upon it with tiny jaws.

Her fur is long and soft and smooth and sleek.

5 Her eyes are bright and round, her face is meek,

And on her little toes are tiny claws.

Her whiskers twitch; her voice now gives me pause.

She makes a quiet yet meaningful squeak.

I think she wants to say "Give me a treat!

10 A blueberry would make a tasty snack—

A peanut, or a bite of Colby Jack.

I don't need much to fill my velvet cheeks."

I choose a cookie crumb, and as I feed it

She nips my finger, but she doesn't mean it.
