    1. Paraphrase the poems.

    The Secret Sits


    We dance round in a ring and suppose,
    But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.

    We are living in this world, finding doing anything,


    But God is in our midst, understands everything.

    The Floorless Room


    I Wish that my Room had a Floor! 
    I don't so Much Care for a Door, 
    But this Crawling Around
    Without Touching the Ground
    Is Getting to be Quite a Bore! 

    I wish I have a pal


    Who can help me to reach my goal
    Live this hard life
    Without anyone’s help
    Makes me want to give up

    The Road Not Taken 


    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, I was faced with two choices
    And sorry I could not travel both but sorry I couldn’t choose booth
    And be one traveler, long I stood long I stood to decide options
    And looked down one as far as I could trying to look further ways
    To where it bent in the undergrowth; but I couldn’t see all paths

    Then took the other, as just as fair, then I chose the other choice
    And having perhaps the better claim, maybe this was the right place
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear; straight path, not much cares
    Though as for that the passing there maybe the other options
    Had worn them really about the same, also just like this
    And both that morning equally lay these two options are equal
    In leaves no step had trodden black. As if there are all black
    Oh, I kept the first for another day! Choose the other way, I will
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way, supports are there for goal
    I doubted if I should ever come back. I don’t think will be back

    I shall be telling this with a sigh in the end I will share


    Somewhere ages and ages hence: once upon a time, somewhere
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I was faced with two choice
    I took the one less traveled by, I choose a way rarely taken
    And that has made all the difference. And a lot of changes happen

    2. Identify the symbols presented in the poems.


    - The secret sits: the reality in our lives. God is in our midst and
    accompanies our lives.
    - The floorless room: a man who cannot achieve his goal (door) because he
    doesn’t have motivation (someone who can motivate him) to achieve it.
    - The road not taken: the reality in our lives. Life is a choice and we should
    choose one and left the others.

    3. Write your own limerick.

    A teenager saw a kid grumble

    Went to tutor with red folding table

    Go running away

    Buy a lot of satay

    Starving carrying a heavy table
