The example below shows what type of poem?

Isolation quickly overwhelms me

Begging for forgiveness, a fallen hand

Desolation I now begin to see

Hanging by a thin thread, a single strand

I watch them… Their fears, their misbehaviour

Mistreat, abuse…. Completely unaware

I am the land, their glorious saviour

Someday they will learn to treat me with care

I wish they would learn to trust each other

To join as one, to stand strong together

A bond, a band and a mighty brother

Forever as one, a powerful tether

You may not know, that fear is their captor

So you may not see each special factor.

The following is an example of what type of poetry?

The Fieldmouse

Where the acorn tumbles down,

Where the ash tree sheds its berry,

With your fur so soft and brown,

With your eye so round and merry,

Scarcely moving the long grass,

Fieldmouse, I can see you pass.

Little thing, in what dark den,

Lie you all the winter sleeping?

Till warm weather comes again,

Then once more I see you peeping

Round about the tall tree roots,

Nibbling at their fallen fruits.

Fieldmouse, fieldmouse, do not go,

Where the farmer stacks his treasure,

Find the nut that falls below,

Eat the acorn at your pleasure,

But you must not steal the grain

He has stacked with so much pain.

Make your hole where mosses spring,

Underneath the tall oak's shadow,

Pretty, quiet harmless thing,

Play about the sunny meadow.

Keep away from corn and house,

None will harm you, little mouse.

There once was a pear

Who had fluffy hair

He liked to roll

So was put in a bowl

What that was a scare
