I saw a fish-pond all on fire,
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.

Rhyme Our first football match
We would have won…
if Jack had just scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!

作者IssaWhat is the story that the poem tells? Tell the story in your own wordsA woman’s husband has gone away. The woman waits for him by the river where she last saw him. she waits and waits never moving form that spot and never speaking, while the river continues to flow and the wind and rain come and go.Poem HThe woman may have the feelings of :loneliness:she was alone watching her husband on the mountain top.love:she waited year after year despite wind and rain.trust:she believed her husband would come back one day.sorrow:year after year, she waited and waited without seeing any hope of her husband’s coming back, she was very sad.Where she awaits her husband,
On and on the river flows.
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve.
Should the journey return,
this stone would utter speech.
