Lesson 4: punctuate the following poem. Elusive Imaginings ...like feathers on the wind... A fragile figment flutters softly down; landing with grace, but not a single sound. Feather soft, it sits on the barren page: awaiting my pen, which will craft its stage. Pen; hand as one begin to form and shape; fashioning the scene designing the drape. Fair figment hovers on the gentle breeze; created by pen strokes flowing with ease. Then, a darkened cloud suddenly takes form; strong blowing wind, it's threatening to storm. I grasp at the figment, but it takes flight: before I can grasp, it is gone from sight. I wait in the darkness holding my pen. Hoping the notion will arrive again; but it is gone – this i must consent. My figment has flown, folded up its tent. Elusive imaginings float on the wind; when one flutters by, I'll begin again. Lesson 4: Winters Wail ( 4th poem) by Judith D. (Apondia) Winter stalks the land with freeze Weather has no comforting breeze Wild birds look for comfort in nests Wishing the cold would take a rest Someday spring will bring back the rain; Easy to wish for warmth again. Sometimes the weather turns gentle Keeping at bay winter mental Even now I can’t keep quiet Snow drifts cause a mental riot Make some popcorn, open a book Curl up in a warm little nook. Peace returns I’m warm and content Almost like summer in a tent Winter requires a special pace Keeping warm can make you feel safe. Lesson 4: Winters Wail ( 4th poem) by Judith D. (Apondia) Corrected Punctuation Winter stalks the land with freeze; weather has no comforting breeze. Wild birds look for comfort in nests; wishing the cold would take a rest. Someday, spring will bring back the rain; easy to wish for warmth again. Sometimes, the weather turns gentle; keeping at bay winter mental. Even now, I can’t keep quiet; snow drifts cause a mental riot. Make some popcorn, open a book, curl up in a warm little nook. Peace returns, I’m warm and content: almost, like summer in a tent. Winter requires a special pace. Keeping warm can make you feel safe. |
