A Frog in a Well
Explains the World
The world is round
and deep
and cool.
The bottom of the world's
a pool
with just enough room
for a frog alone.
The walls of the world
are of stone on stone.
At the top of the world,
when I look up high,
I can see a star
in a little round sky.
Alice Schertle
Describe what you see when you look out your door or window.
How do you think the frog is feeling in this poem?
What has it been like for you staying close to home?
When I look outside I see a forest with sunlight poking through the trees and dark, gray branches wanting to bloom their beautiful flowers. I think this poem is about descriptive writing and your senses. It could also use personification like I did. - Cecelia
