Lesson 4: Questioning for SWPoet's Workshop |
Assignment for Lesson 4 of SWPoet 's poetry workshop:
Version One Why and How Come? Why do grasshoppers hop And butterflies fly? Why can't I touch The stars in the sky? Where does the moon go When I am asleep? Where does God take My soul to keep? When will we be there? I have to go pee! When do we eat? Are you listening to me? How come that bird lives Up in that nest? It's naptime already? I don't want to rest! Who are the bedbugs? And why do they bite? How do I keep them Off me at night? I hear a monster Under my bed. Why can't I sleep With you, instead? Mommy, I'm thirsty! Please read me a book! I still hear a monster! Could you take a look? Why am I sleepy? Is it my turn to pray? Can I have a hug? "No more questions," you say. Version Two Why and How Come? Why do grasshoppers hop And butterflies fly? Why can't I touch The stars in the sky? Where does the moon go When I am asleep? Where does God take My soul to keep? When will we be there? I have to go pee! When do we eat? Are you listening to me? How come that bird lives Up in that nest? It's naptime already? I don't want to rest! Who are the bedbugs? And why do they bite? How do I keep them Off me at night? I hear a monster Under my bed.
