The snow is a white blanket.

My Best Friend

You love me for me.

How is it possible that-

My very being, you understand, you see.

In my mind, you shall remain-

If something should ever happen to you,

My sunshine would turn to rain.

You will always be in my heart,

For that is where you belong,

That is where you were from the very start.

Thank you for being you.

Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for always being true.

I love you.

Birthday Boy

Vachel Lindsay

When I was one

It was so much fun.

When I was two

The world was new.

Then I turned quickly

Into a boy of three.

And I was four.

Now Im happy to say

Im a year older today.

And soon youll see

Another birthday party for me

Do you know

Poem 3

The Little Turtle

Vachel Lindsay

There was a little turtle.

He lived in a box.

He swam in a puddle.

He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito.

He snapped at a flea.

He snapped at a minnow.

And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito.

He caught the flea.

He caught the minnow.

And he didnt catch me.

Poem 4

Sea

Leonard Clark

Over the hill

First sight of the sea

Lying sunlit and still

Just waiting for me.

I race from the land

In the clear morning light

To rock pool and sand,

Shells whiter than white.

Birds ride the sky,

The wispy clouds there

Soft floating, and I

Am walking on air.

Fire and Ice

(By: Robert Frost)

Some say the world will end in fire

Some say in ice

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor life

But if it had to perish twice

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice 

There are… lines in the poem.

Night

(By William Blake)

The sun descending in the west

The evening star does shine;

The birds are silent in their nest,

And I must seek for mine.

The moon, like a flower,

In heaven’s bower,

With the silent delight

Sits and smiles on the night

The rhyme scheme of the poem is…

Loneliness

(By Katherine Mansfield)

Now it is Loneliness who comes at night

Instead of Sleep, to sit beside my bed.

Like a tired child I lie and wait her tread,

I watch her softly blowing out the light.

Motionless sitting, neither left nor right

She turns, and weary, weary droops her head.

She, too, is old; she, too, has fought the fight.

So, with the laurel she is garlanded

Through the sad dark the slowly ebbing tide

Breaks on a barren shore, unsatisfied.

A strange wind flows… then silence. I am fain

To turn to Loneliness, to take her hand,

Cling to her, waiting, till the barren land

Fills with the dreadful monotone of rain.

How many stanzas does the poem have?

My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is a weathered shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon [peaceful] sea;

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me.

What mood do the details of the poem convey?

SPRING

In the early part of spring

You will hear, many birds sing

They are just letting, the rest of us know

Winter is over, spring melted the snow

You will notice, a beautiful scene

The trees will slowly, begin to turn green

Chipmunks and bunnies will come out and play,

Bears will no longer, sleep during the day

It’s exciting, when spring finally arrives

Bees will make honey, inside their hives

So much to do, so much to see

Insects and animals are happy and free

What is ‘spring, sing, know, snow’ (stanza 1) called?

Which of these is an example of alliteration?
