Before my bed a frost of light,

Understanding Poetry
Poetry is a form of literature that is usually written in lines and stanzas (诗节).
Words in a poem are put in a special way to make a rhythm (a regular repeated pattern of sounds).
The theme of a poem is often shown by images and through literary devices (e.g. simile, personification, metaphor, exaggeration).
What typical language features do you often find in poems
In winter In spring In summer In autumn
Watch us go, My shoes are wet. By the sea, Trees are brown,
Making footprints See how deep Sandy footprints I kick the leaves
In the snow. The puddles get. Made by me. All over town.

小时不识月,呼作白玉盘。
又疑瑶台镜,飞在青云端。
仙人垂两足,桂树何团团。
白兔捣药成,问言与谁餐。
蟾蜍蚀圆影,大明夜已残。
羿昔落九乌,天人清且安。
阴精此沦惑,去去不足观。
忧来其如何,凄怆摧心肝。

Dreams
by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
