Poems
Little king
There lived a little king, who carried a big ring. He wanted to see the whole world with his little pet bird. At first he walked a mile and he came to the river Nile. Suddenly he saw a scary crocodile, but he still had a big, nice smile. Then he went to China and he met a girl named Shina. She showed him the Chinese wall and he thought that it was very tall. He took the fastest train and he came to Spain. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain, but the little king didn't complain. Later he went to LA, he didn't know what to say, because he saw a lot of movie stars, and they all rode in famous cars. At last he came to Canberra, he finally saw his queen Sara. he was happy to come back home, so he could seat on his throne. |
Life Is Fine
I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank. I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died. But it was Cold in that water! It was cold! I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down. I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died. But it was High up there! It was high! So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born. Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die. Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine! Langston Hughes. |
