Everything beneath the sea-a poem for kids by British Council

Image
  Everything beneath the sea-poem There was a cod There was a hake There was a lobster and a crab and a sea snake Everything beneath the sea Gliding, Sliding, Swimming free Jellyfish and things that glow Swimming way down deep below There was a squid and a whale And sliding on the rocks There was a sea snail Life is in the waves that land, Crashing on the rocks or sand Creatures moving everywhere Would you like to join them there? There is a cave Oh so dark and hiding Just inside there is a big shark He wants a meal but never fear He can't eat you if you can't go near Everything beneath the sea This poem is available on British council website for young kids with an enchanting video.  The purpose of the poem is to introduce the young kids about the sea creatures and their life.  Here is a poem Everything beneath the sea Read it, memorize it and share it Gliding, Sliding, Swimming free

The Cloud BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY SUMMARY, POETIC DEVICES, ANALYSIS, ABOUT POET-fusionstories

  The Cloud BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY   I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder.   I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast. Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits; In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea; Over the ri...

 MOTHER NATURE CRY I think I just heard Mother Nature cry Or was it one more broken, falling tree? You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by   They tell us there’s big hole in the sky We won’t believe in something we can’t see I think I just heard Mother Nature cry   Coal-fired chimneys reaching up so high Even though the solar power’s free You’d think we’d team as time goes speeding by,   We develop rocket ships that fly, But still can’t stop pollution of the sea, I think I just heard Mother Nature cry   Headlines: one more species set to die Keep it quiet…use diplomacy You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by   Worry on the future? Pass it by! How can preservation start with me? I think I just heard Mother Nature cry You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by   About the poet Graeme King was born in Melbourne, Australia. He started poetry at the age of 10. He was an outstanding stu...

September, the first day of school, SUMMARY, PARAPHRASING, FIGURE OF SPEECH, EXPLANATION

September, First Day at School By Harvard Nemerov My child and I hold hands on the way to  school , And when I leave him at the first-grade door He cries a little but is brave; he does Let go. My selfish tears remind me how I cried before that door a life ago. I may have had a hard time letting go. Each fall the children must endure together What every child also endures alone: Learning the alphabet, the integers, Three dozen bits and pieces of a stuff So arbitrary, so peremptory, That worlds invisible and visible Bow down before it, as in Joseph's dream The sheaves bowed down and then the stars bowed down Before the dreaming of a little boy. That dream got him such hatred of his brothers As cost the greater part of life to mend, And yet great kindness came of it in the end. A  school  is where they grind the grain of thought, And grind the children who must mind the thought. It may be those two grindings are but one, As from the alphabet ...
