Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. This book has twenty-four poems. The poems are about: the morning after Halloween, June, peanuts, what frogs say to each other, hats, bare feet, and much more. Some of these poems rhyme, but mostly did not. These poems tell what a person feels, sees, and things they do not understand. Overall, I enjoyed reading them. I loved the illustrations Candy Corn poems by James Stevenson. The twenty- four poems seem to tell he story of what a young person sees and thinks about the things all around the town. A few of the poems rhyme, but most do not. The poems tell what the young person sees, feels, and imagines about the things he or she cannot touch or understand. The poems and illustrations reveal it is fall. The young person encounters breezes, halloween night, candy corn, school buses and much more. The poem I enjoyed the most was Winsor and Newton where the names of paints become people and things. This book contains a variety of styles of poems. I really liked "June", "Coming or Going", and " Stone Wall". These three stuck out to me, with beautiful meanings. I love that this poetry book has a different topic for each poem. That definitely kept me wanting to read more, and I know it would do the same for children. Some are silly, some are just plain heart-warming. I really loved this collection and would love to add it to my library. Not the most *L*iterary poems out there, but they're aimed at kids, so that's good. Not so much about metaphor, allusion, not even a lot of alliteration, word-play, or rhymes... but rather bright evocative slices of life. Illustrations and design are integral. Coming or Going The screen door screeches. The screen door slams. Coming or going, Going or coming, The sounds are the same. But what a difference It makes to me -- Your going away, Your coming home. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Coming or Going:
The screen door screeches.
The screen door slams.
Coming or going,
Going or coming,
The sounds are the same.
But what a difference
It makes to me-
Your going away,
Your coming home.
This poem exhibited parts of my past of my dad closing the screen door after court-ordered visits and gave this imagery to me, It also made me relay imagery to the future of my future husband leaving for work or coming home. ( )
