Describing Summer

Language Arts (Literature) assignment, 1/14/10

Read and analyze four poems about summer:

June by Aileen Fisher
That Was Summer by Marci Ridlon
Summer Rain by Eve Merriam
Summer Rain by Elizabeth Coatsworth

Write a description of summer or some part of summer. Appeal to your reader's senses. Try to make your reader see, hear, smell taste, and touch what summer means to you.


Summer Poem
by John McKay

Summer smelling as the ditch smells,
The rain tapping at the windowsills,
Horses neighing in the pasture,
Turtles plopping into the water,
As dusk falls.
