The Sloth by Theodore Roethke

In moving-slow he has no Peer.You ask him something in his Ear,He thinks about it for a Year;

And, then, before he says a WordThere, upside down (unlike a Bird),He will assume that you have Heard--

A most Ex-as-per-at-ing Lug.But should you call his manner Smug,He'll sigh and give his Branch a Hug;

Then off again to Sleep he goes,Still swaying gently by his Toes,And you just know he knows he knows.

What Bugs Me By Bruce Lansky

When my teacher tells me to write a poem.When my mother tells me to clean up my room.When my sister practices her violin while I’m watching TV.When my father tells me to turn off the TV and do myhomework.When my brother picks a fight with me and I have togo to bed early.

When my teacher asks me to get up in front of the class and read a poem I wrote on the school bus.

And besides, I don’t even know how to writea poem. I’ve got a headache. I need to see the nurse. Time’s up? Uh oh! All I have is this dumb list of excuses. You like it? Really? No kidding. Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy EveningBy Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.His house is in the village though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound's the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

The PastureBy Robert Frost

I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
