balance expressing ideas or experiences
or feelings.A poem is a literary work that is not in verse but deals with emotional or
descriptive themes in a rhythmic form. A poem is a piece of writing in which
the words are arranged in
separate lines, often ending in
rhyme, and are chosen for their
sound and for the images and ideas
they suggest. 诗歌的语言是形象而富有音乐性的语言，
也就是说，它和音乐一样，有鲜明的节
奏感，这是它与其他文学体裁的语言相
区别的重要标志之一。诗歌语言音乐性
的另一个特点是它有优美悦耳的韵律。
英语本身是一种节奏感很强的语言，
它靠重音的出现频率的高低来体现节奏
的快慢。Try to think back and remember some poems from your early childhood. A Grain of Sand William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour. Have you read the two poems below? 一粒沙 威廉·布莱克 一沙一世界， 一花一天堂， 掌中无极限， 永恒刹那间。 Dreams
By L. Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That can never fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen only with snow梦想
兰斯顿·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想，
千万别让它消亡，
否则生活就像鸟儿断了翅膀，

to children while they are still of nursery
age. Though the oral tradition of nursery
rhymes is ancient, the largest number
date from the 16th, 17th, and (most
frequently) 18th centuries. Apparently

for adults, many as popular songs. Nursery rhymesBRead poem B.

What’s the main idea of poem C?Poem C is about losing a football match and the writer lists a lot of excuses for their failure.Why didn’t the players in poem C win? Write down three excuses that the author gives. Does the author really believe his or her excuses? How do you know?CThey didn’t win because they didn’t have enough time; they didn’t have thousands of fans screaming; they stayed up too late the night before; they ran out of energy.
The author doesn’t believe his excuses, because at the end of the poem the speaker admits that they just did
not play well enough to win.A list poem is one of the easiest kinds of
poems to write because it can have as many
lines as the writer likes. But that doesn't
mean you should write down anything.

poem instead of just a list:
The writer is telling you something—
pointing something out--saying, "Look at
this" or "Think about this".How to Write a List Poem2) There's a beginning and an end to it,
like in a story.

way. Here's an example of a list
