has regular, repeating rhythm
tells a poet's thoughts or feelings
Essential question: Where can your imagination take you?
Comprehension skill: Point of view
The way the speaker in a poem feels about something is his or her point of view
To understand the speaker's point of view, think about what the speaker is describing and how he or she describes it.
Vocabulary strategy: Metaphors
A metaphor compares two different things.
It does not use the words like or as.
Example: "A box of crayons is the sun on a dreary rainy day."
