Children just LOVE rhyming! This I know from our readings. But. Just for fun on world poetry day (and my mums birthday..awwwww) here is my favourite poem.
Scaffolding
Masons,
when they start upon a building,
Are
careful to test out the scaffolding;
Make sure
that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure
all ladders, tighten bolted joints.
And yet
all this comes down when the job’s done;
Showing
off walls of sure and solid stone.
So if my
dear there sometimes seem to be,
Old
bridges breaking between you and me.
Never
fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident
that we have built our wall.
by Seamus Heaney
