might have been broken by the night storm.The second poem makes me think of the following
things:a cat eating fish; a hungry boy making a wash;
a boy running to the end of the road; a driver taking
the next turn;a young man who loves sea; a beautiful
girl looking at the poet; a seal diving into the sea; the
poet falling into sleep.The third poem makes me feel the passion between
the lovers.The fourth poem makes me think of a beautiful sun- -shine day and a lovely pair singing cheerfully and calmly. The atmosphere makes me feel happy and relaxed.The fifth poem makes me think of my father or an
old man.Sample poems for referenceFive Fat Peas (a nursery rhyme)Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed
