TASK 1: SPOT THE RHYMING WORD
Read the poem and identify some pair of rhyming words.
TREES
by Joyce Kilmer

I think I shall never see

A poem as lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth‘s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
See you next time!
See you next time!
