Please read this poem about the moon...it's a full moon this week, after all! Do you like this poem? Does it make you think of anything? Do you like it more than "The Red Wheelbarrow"? Or do you like is less...or about the same? (PS: What is a 'quay'? In the poem, you pronounce it "KEYS"...)
The Moon
by Robert Louis Stevenson
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
I liked this poem. I actually liked it a bit better than The Red Wheelbarrow. This poem remindes me of the book called Hugo Cabret. In the book in one of the parts it has a drawing of the man in the moon. I can't wait till the November Full Moon.
ReplyDeleteI think this poem was bad.But I think this poem should be a little better because the when he says "guays" it seems a little odd for me.And the poem get's a little better because the dog,the cat and the bat!And my last favourite thing about this poem is when he says "Till up in the morning the sun shall arise".
ReplyDeleteI think this poem is another one of those poem I really like because it is very nice and intriting and it is a little comuseing but it is still one of the best poems I have ever read

ReplyDeletethis a interesting poem it reminds me of the pictures in Hugo Cabret I remembered Hugo looking through the clock
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that you will find the word 'squalling' in a dictionary, Abisha, but try to look at the CONTEXT...that might give you a clue. A 'squeaking' mouse and a 'SQUALLING' cat...hmmm!
