What do you think about this poem...? Why is Flint more important than all the beautiful gem stones?
Flint
by Christina Rosetti
An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire.
The poem is talking about how flint is importent to the for fire if we didnt have flint the world would be so dark and daul.Everyone would be sick and be tired.if we didnt have flint there would be no hot meels and no hot drinks.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know why flint is more importent, but I think it's because flint makes fire when you rub two of it together. I mean, humans need warmth and fire to cook, too. That's why I think fint is really importent.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it. You are talking about the main stones on your birthday it is called a birth stone. Flint it looks like it means a Iginous rocks. I thought it means Ignious rock beacuse Ignious rocks from by fire. I really liked this poem it was intresting.
ReplyDeleteI think the flint is more important than all the other jemstone because it hold fire wich means that it can make fire and none of the other jemstones can make fire it might not be as pretty and as colourfull as all yhe other jemstones but atleast it can do something that at the other jemstons can make fire
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but this poem I DO NOT GET! For some reason I think flint stone is an igneous rock. The reason why I think that is because in the poem it says "But a flint holds a fire." Do you know what my favourite gem stone is? Well it's a sapphire. The reason I like that gem stone is because it's the colour blue. I can't wait till I find out if a flint is an igneous rock or not!!!
ReplyDeleteThe flint rock is more important then the other
ReplyDeleterocks because when you rub the rock toether it
mekes a fire.I think the poem is about gem stones
and the colour thatthe gem look like.
I love this poem it is very intresting? I like this poem becuse it remindes me of when we
ReplyDeletelerend about rocks and minaroles
I don't get this peom.It's because I don't get the "Ruby" part where she says "A ruby red as blood".It sounds really creapy.At the same time it sounds cool.Also I like when she says "An emerald as green as grass".And the title sounds pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHi! I really don't know why flint is more important than gems. But still I thoght it was cool. Did you know that my birth stone is a diamond and a bloodstone. In are family we wear gold sometimes silver.See you later for comments.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why flint is so important.Is it because it could create fire?Is a flint a igneos rock?
ReplyDeleteI really liked the poem.
I think this poem is a great poem because it teaches you An emerald is as green as grass,
ReplyDeleteA ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire. I think that flint is more inportent because it can make fire and the others don't and with out flint you would not have warmth ore heat
