D. READING
Read and choose the correct answers.
Visualizing nature
Yesterday afternoon, I was watching TV when I fell asleep. While I was sleeping, pictures floated through my
mind. First, I saw a robin with a bright red front. It was hopping on dry, colorful leaves in our yard. In my mind,
I visualize the robin joining other robins. The robins are beautiful as they fly, through the sky.
Then I saw snowflakes dancing in the air. They were big and white. They looked like frozen dancers
performing an icy dance.
When I woke up, I decided to write a poem to tell what I saw in my dreams. "What words should I use?" I
asked myself. I will use action verbs to describe the robin flying and hopping. I will use an adjective to
describe how the robins looked when they flew all together. And I will use lots of other adjectives to describe
the snowflakes: big, white, or frozen.
I think about the poems I know: acrostic poems, haikus, cinquain poems, nature poems, and funny poems.
Some of the poems use rhyming words. Others have a specific number of syllables. I ask myself, "What kind
of poem do I want to write?" I sit down at my desk and take out a piece of paper and a pencil. And then I begin
to write.
