Appreciation

of poems

A rhyme

Good, better, best!

Never have it rest!

Till good is better,

And better, best!

A rhyme

Pick an apple,

Pick a pear,

Pick a banana over there.

Let’s work, and let’s play,

Picking apples every day!

A Limerick

People laugh and people cry

Some give up some always try

Some say hi while some say bye

Others may forget you but never I.

What is love

Love is giving ,

Love is living ,

Love is taking someone’s load,

Love helps them along the road.

Love is caring,

Love is sharing,

Love will seek the best for others,

Love treats everyone as brothers.

30 days has September,

April, June, and November.

All the rest have 31. Fine!

February 28 except when 29.

Darkling I listen; and, for many a time

I have been half in love with easeful Death,

Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme,

To take into the air my quiet breath;

Now more than ever seems it rich to die,

To cease upon the midnight with no pain,

While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad

In such an ecstasy!

A Poem by Keats

The same whom in my school-boy days

I listened to; that Cry

Which made me look a thousand ways

In bush, and tree, and sky.

To seek thee did I often rove

Through woods and on the green;

And thou wert still a hope, a love;

Still longed for, never seen.

The unhappy official

Never tired of study

reading until he could not see;

holding his pen until his

fingers became painful; sitting

for exams ten times

until he passed; success has come

By Bai Juyi

too late; he is now an important official

but his hair is already white; there is little

happiness for him; when

young ,he spent his days being

very poor; now old and often sick

money and fame are of no use to him.

Living behind the great red

gates is a young with the

taste of mother‘s milk still in his mouth；

not much to look at.with soft skin

like a girl’s and a gentle face；

he has never won a soldier‘s

uniform（军装）；at twenty he got

his father’s title and money；

with the coming of spring，he is always

playing outside ，wearing soft

furs and riding upon a fine horse；

spending mornings with

gamblers（赌徒）and drinkers and

in the evenings sleeping with

the girls in a singsong house;

he spends the money paying

wine bills, using what

is left over on pretty girls;

besides drinking, singing, and

hunting with dogs or horses,

he knows little else.

on the hills, wild grasses grow

under a great pine tree;

two living things，one reaching

high and the other content

to remain low，from old times

it has been this way；

you are not alone

in knowing this sadness。

How many parts is the poem made up of？

Three

Part 1：Something about the old

official

Part 2：Something about the young

official

Part 3 ：A message

What is the poem by Bai Juyi about？

About the differences

between the lives of

an old official of poor

background and that

of a young rich boy

The old official

worked very hard all his life

never worked in his life

became an official

when young

very poor when young

always very rich

always had a hard

and difficult life

had an easy and

pleasant life

tried to get up higher

never worried to get up high

became an official when

he was very old

What’s the message of the poem？

The message of the poem is

that it is sad that people from

rich families always get a happy

life without having to work at all，

while people from poor families

must work hard all their lives

but find little happiness in life .

悲哉行

白居易

悲哉为儒者, 力学不知疲。

读书眼欲暗, 秉笔手生胝

十上方一第，成名常苦迟。

纵有宦达者，两鬓已成丝。

可怜少壮日，适在穷贱时？

丈夫老且病，焉用富贵为。

沉沉朱门宅，中有乳臭儿。

状貌如妇人，光明膏梁肌。

手不把书卷，身不擐戎衣。

二十袭封爵，门承勋戚资。

春来日日出，服御何清肥。

朝从博徒饮，暮有倡楼期。

平封还酒债，堆金选蛾眉。

声色狗马外，其余一无知。

山苗与涧松，地势随高卑。

古来无奈何。非君独伤悲。

A perfect Day

When you come to the end of a perfect day,

And you sit alone with your thought,

While the bells ring out with a carol gay

For the joy that the day has brought,

Do you think what the end of a perfect day

Can mean to a tired heart,

When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,

And the dear friends have to part?

With a wish that is kind and true.

For memory has painted this perfect day,

With colours that never fade,

And we find at the end of a perfect day,

The soul of a friend we’ve made.

Well, this is the end of a perfect day,

Near the end of a journey too;

But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,

What is the topic of the poem?

Friendship

Follow me

New views, new faces

New words, new places

Change the climate and the races

Everywhere is loneliness,

Hunger, hate

We gotta change our ways,

Take control—or ‘tis too late

Power to us, why can’t you see

Just follow me, and we’ll all be free

The protection of

the environment

Out of the strange

Still night…as strange ,as still…

A dark bird flew…Why am I

Grown so cold?

Follow me

Oceans apart, day after day,

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line ,

But it doesn’t stop the pain.

If I see you next to never ,

How can I say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you.

Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.

Shook down on me

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued
