There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Peppermint-suggests that the wind is cool and refreshing
Bends- suggests that the wind changed direction
Asphalt- a dark tar-like substance used in surfacing roads or waterproofing buildings. Hence describes the colour of the flower.
Chalk-white arrows- Maybe suggesting shooting stars
I like this poem because it is interesting. There were also parts which I didn’t understand at first which made me want to find out more. Although I am still trying to understand the whole poem, so it captivates me. There are also good adjectives used to describe the nouns. For example: crimson bright, asphalt etc.
My Poem:
School, the six-letter word...
Is just life that is absurd.
From being a know-nothing-kid,
To a big-brainer kid.
School, the six-letter word...
Cannot be described using a few words,
Because it is just amazing,
With the main motive of learning!
School, the six-letter word...
Is just a pretty small society.
That gives one many memories,
That involves our buddies!
School, the six-letter word...
Is just made up of a variety of things.
Every Tik, every Tok,
Has something that one can talk about!
