I meant to do my work today-
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand-
So what coud I do but laugh and go?

This poem is great. Only the first and the Fourth line ryhmes. this opoem reminds me of in the summer because the birds are flying and the butterflies are too. My favorite line in this poem is a butterfly flitted across the field.
ReplyDeletethx for that
Deletehi!this poem reminds me of fall because it says ; all the leaves were calling me and the wind was sighing over land tossing the grass to and fro.i disagre with kayla. it always reminds me of when i went to soons' orchard one year and heard a bird chirping but i didn't see it . it also sounds like a beautiful day .
ReplyDeleteAdrianna i love how you put your words into the poem.
ReplyDeletethank you very much kayla. you see my disagreement don't you . no hard feelings!
ReplyDeletei meant to write disagree and also in my last post instead of always and disagre. sorry i was typing to fast. kayla i like how you think about seasons right away and i also thought about my birhtday and the end of school when i was reading your post because there both in june.
p.s. see you guys on monday
I like the poem because it reminds me of my favorite season, fall. I never saw a brown bird. I'm not sure. Where I live, we don't see a lot of apple trees. Rainbows, I see once or twice. I think poem means we should do our homework, but never forget not to.
ReplyDeleteI meant to do my homework, but I forgot how. I want to find the website with the poems, take one sentence out and illustrate it. Can someone tell me how I get to the site where the poems are we're suppose to use to write about and illustrate? I want to have my homework done for Monday, but I don't know what I'm suppose to do. Can someone help me? Pleeaasseee...anybody.
ReplyDeleteI love the the way this poem is describtive
ReplyDeletei love the way the poem relates to the fall season

ReplyDeleteWHERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE'S POSTS?! don't forget your HOMEWORK DUE ON MONDAY! LETTERS, READING, POEMS ,AND THIS BLOGSPOT . COME ON ! DON'T FORGET! DO IT SOON IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT.
ReplyDeleteTHE POEM SOUNDS RELAXING
ReplyDeleteI think this is an awsome poem! My favorite line is "a rainbow held out it's shining hand, so what could I do but laugh and go?
ReplyDeleteWow, great analysis by Kayla, Adrianna and Tyler. I like how you give some detail to your thoughts and make them more than one sentence.
ReplyDeleteInesha, Richard and Elijah- Can you give a line or a detail of why you think the poem is descriptive, the fall season, or relaxing. Those one line answers are not going to be enough for this assignment.
Tierra- I like how you quote a line, could you tell me why that is your favorite line? (I know you had some trouble with posting)
Keep up the great work!
Here is another idea to think about...
Tyler said that he thinks this poem is about "doing our homework"- does anyone else think the poem has something to do with doing (or not doing) homework?
***And please proofread your posts before you put them up!!!!
********And I am waiting to hear a great response from Devin and Joy!
I like the way the poem realates to some kids when they forget to do there homework. I agree with Adrianna because the poem said that the leaves were calling me and that reminds me of fall.
ReplyDeleteI think that the author really foucused on explaining all the nature.
ReplyDeleteIf he meant to do his work , he should not be wanting to go outside. If he could explain all theese things he would probley be able to do his work.
Birds chirping, butterflies flitting, leaves blowing, and rainbows calling....there is no way with all those beautiful visions and sounds could I ever get my work done! This sounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteFrom, Mrs. Hasbrouck
Joy- great catch- "If he meant to do his work , he should not be wanting to go outside."
ReplyDelete******************************************
"So what could I do but laugh and go"
Do you think the author did his work? Or did he skip off to play outside?
******************************************
Have any of you ever "daydreamed" when you should have been doing your work?
Mrs. Mesnick thankyou for the nice note that you gave to me,Tyler and Adrianna.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Hasbrouck I love your comment. I love how you related it to your work.
ReplyDeleteElijah i love how you said the poem was realxing, but i just want to know how is it relaxing, is relaxing to hear to go to sleep or just to calm you down, if you get to the blogpost in time can you please tell me I really want to know.
ReplyDeleteJoy I love your comment. I love how you put the nature and the author in it. Joy keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteInesha I love how you said the poem is describtive but how. I really want to know just tell me when you write again on the blogpost
ReplyDeleteDevin I enjoyed reading your comment, keep up with the great work
ReplyDelete"A rainbow held out it's shinning hand So,what could I do but laugh and go?" is my favorite line because it makes me think of happiness and the earths beauty.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Work!!!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Mesnick yes I have daydreamed when I should have been doing my work.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Mesnick yes I have day dreamed when i was suppose to be doing my work.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE THIS STORY LIKE BLOGING
ReplyDeletei think that the author did not give a reasonible reason for not doing his homework, but you got to give him some slack if it was a second grader tealing me this i would belive it bot if it were someone my age [i am 10] would not belive them as much.i think that he just did not want to do it or he forgot.
