Poems

How many stanzas are in the poem below?

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.

It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

What two words rhyme in stanza #2?

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.

It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

Is this a paragraph or a poem?

The wind is a powerful force that moves through the air, sometimes gently and sometimes with great strength. It can make tree branches sway and carry leaves across the ground. On warm days, a soft breeze feels cool and refreshing, while strong winds can create waves in the ocean or push clouds across the sky. The wind is always moving, shaping the world around us in ways we often don’t notice.
