Poem On Primary School days~

Start on a Monday,
Ends with another day,
Everyday I shall say,
Never give up, that is the way,

Fun might make you shout hurray!
Shines with the brightest ray,
Without achievement without thought,
That might be a thing to sort,

Homework in files,
Sort them in piles,
Do them with love,
Pass with flying colours,

Miss your old school?
I do too and so do you,
Visit them soon,
And god blesses you.

Poem: A Birthday Poem by Ted Kooser
Just past dawn, the sun stands
with its heavy red head
in a black stanchion of trees,
waiting for someone to come
with his bucket
for the foamy white light,
and then a long day in the pasture.
I too spend my days grazing,
feasting on every green moment
till darkness calls,
and with the others
I walk away into the night,
swinging the little tin bell
of my name.


1. How is figurative language used in the poem? Give the specific word(s), explain what type of figurative language it is and why the poet chose to use this figurative language.

The words " stands, stanchion and light" are hyperboly because the sun can't really stand and the trees are not really stanchion because they are not used as something to support another and the light stands for the milk!

The author used figurative language in this poet so as to make the object more lively... By adding that the sun stands, it might mean that the sun is stand high up in the sky. By saying stanchion of trees, he is saying that the trees are straight and strong, all standing in a role. And the light, which is suppose to be bright is the milk. Because of thw sun's reflection, the milk seems to be as bright as light.

2. I like this poet because it expresses in a different way of saying that it is the author's birthday and it was a day in which she was not milked and wasd grazing on the grass the whole day, waiting for the farmer to come but to no avail, she can't see him and was wondering why and when sun sets, she walked of with the others to their barn to rest, swinging the bell with her name on it... It is very well done in which it expressed how the cow felt on its birthday.

Village by Sea : Conclusion.

Okay, I feel that people in other country are not as lucky as we are now in Singapore and i feel that some children need to play the role as an adult as a child! So of there parents are so irresponsible and don't play the role in which they are suppose to and their children are suppose to take over place. I also feel that children in Singpore are very fortunate as they have food to eat and technology is very advanced. We must learn to cherish things and understand how lucky we are because the world around are not as simple as what we think they are. Some of the children in other country needs to go and find work when they are still a teenager and i feel that we need to be more independant instead of being relying to our maids and stuffs~
