Lesson Prep: A Poem
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 9:18AM While looking for something special to present to my Badgerdogs for tomorrow's class, I found a Robert Langston treasure. Short, succinct, and thought provoking. I hope my poetic pups will connect with it.
Deeper
A bird tapped at my window,
trying to crack open a sunflower seed.
I stared at it
in search of a deeper meaning
but found none. Should I be surprised?
Can any creature but man have a purpose?
The bird stood up and looked me in the eye.
In that glint I saw
it searching for a deeper meaning.
Finding none, it turned
and flew away.
This poem should generate some 4th grade conversation, shouldn't it?
