    Clouds

    On a beautiful spring afternoon,

    I relax﹣and lie down

    On the soft green grass.

    Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around.

    My attention is taken up to the clouds.

    For up there in the bright blue sky

    Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals

    And castles built with marshmallow bricks

    But I must be creative and take the time

    To bring this world into focus,

    So I take a breath.

   And squint my eyes just a little bit

    And before I know it﹣there they are﹣A big bear

    Soft as a pillow, quietly curls up to sleep.

    As a tiny, cotton ball mouse

    Jumps out from a lion's house.

   What a real to spend my afternoon

    With these newly found friends moving by !

Natural scenes often become the themes of poetry. Poets watch nature closely and present(呈现) its beauty in their poems. For example, poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day. Besides, poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images(形象) in poems.

    With images, poets can describe the details (细节) of something colorfully and clearly. Readers, on the other hand, can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets' ideas. Now let's read the poem "Who Has Seen the Wind?"

    When we read the lines "When the leaves hang trembling" and "When the trees bow down their heads," they remind us of a windy day. The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene. These help readers think of the moment when the wind passes by. We might even bow our own heads, imagining that we are the trees.

    In the poem "Night," Blake describes many details of a night scene. People know very well what they can see at night, like stars or the moon. However, Blake sees more than just the moon itself; he sees the moon as a flower, smiling at us from up in the sky. So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified(拟人化) as a smiling person.

Then Alice saw a small glass table.There was a little golden key on it.She picked it up and put it all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them.She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door,a very small one.She put the key in the lock.It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it.At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden.It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.

    She walked back to the table.There was a bottle on it now.
