37、贝，别说话，爸爸给你买个嘲鸫。如果嘲鸫不会唱歌，爸爸给你买个钻戒。如果钻戒变成黄铜，爸爸给你买个镜子。如果镜子打破了，爸爸给你买只小山羊。如果小山羊跑掉了。爸爸今天再去给你买一只。一些简单的诗歌像 B 和 C 一样列举事物。“清单诗”诗句的长短比较灵活且有重复的短语，这就形成了这种诗的模式和节奏。有些(清单诗)押韵(如 B)，而其他的不押韵(如 C)。B我看到鱼塘在燃烧我看到鱼塘在燃烧，我看到房子向地主哈腰，我看到一个人有 12 英尺高，我看到一间茅屋在天边，我看到一个用铅做的气球，我看到一口棺材把死人抛，我看到两只麻雀在赛跑，我看到两匹马儿绣花边，我看到一个姑娘像小猫，我看到一只小猫戴帽子，
38、我看到有人也看到了这些，他说虽然奇怪，但都是真的。C我们的第一场足球比赛我们就会夺冠了如果杰克踢进了那个球，如果我们再有几分钟，如果我们训练得更严格，如果本把球传给了乔，如果有大批球迷呐喊助威，如果我没有让球离开我的视线，如果我们前一天晚上没有熬夜，如果我们没有放松警惕，如果我们没有精疲力竭。我们就会夺冠了如果我们能做得更好一些！另外一种学生容易写的简体诗是由五行组成的五行诗。用五行诗，学生可以用少量的词语表达深刻的画面。看下一页上端的例子(D 和 E)。D兄弟帅气，又健壮爱闹，爱叫，又爱笑是我的朋友也是我的敌人E夏天困乏，咸涩干涸，枯萎，恐惧周而复始永无止境F凋落的花朵正要回到树枝上。瞧啊，
39、是只蝴蝶！(荒木田守武)G雪已经融化了，整个村庄到处都是欢乐的儿童。(小林一茶)俳句诗是一种日本诗，它由 17 个音节组成。它不属于英文诗的传统形式，但是它很受英国作家的欢迎。它容易写，而且像五行诗一样，可以用最少的词语呈现一个清晰的画面，表达一种特殊的情感。上面两首俳句诗(F 和 G)就是从日文翻译过来的。H你知道讲英语的人也喜欢其他类型的亚洲诗，尤其是中国的唐诗吗？许多唐诗已经被翻译成英文了。这首唐诗(H)就是从中文翻译过来的。望夫处，江悠悠。化为石，不回头。山头日日风复雨，行人归来石应语。(王建)有这么多不同的诗歌类型可选，学生们也许最终想写属于他们自己的诗了。写诗比你可能认为的要容易，绝对值得一试！本部分内容讲解结束 按ESC键退出全屏播放
