MY NEEDS

I need so littleand so much,

I need the sun, it’s warning touch,

A pine, a birch tree and a song.

A little birdie in the mom,

I need the day, I need the night,

I need the sunset, thoughtful, bright.

I need the summer and the spring,

The fall, the winter, and the wind,

I need a little patch of land

That would be large enough to stand,

The azure sky over my head,

And I need some one who desires

To get my energy and fire.

I need a home, it’s light and force,

A good and loving friend, of course,

And I need energy to live,

To learn, to love and to believe.

Jane Kislovskaya

Just below my window

Stands a birch tree white

Under show in winter

Gleaming silver bright.

S. Esenin

letter “I”. Read the poem according to the reading rules.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

The rarer seen, the less in mind,

The less in mind, the lesser pain,

The lesser pain, less grief I find,

The lesser grief, the greater gain,

The greater gain, the merrier I;

Therefore I wish thy sight to fly.

The further off, the more I joy

The more I joy, the happier life,

The happier life, less hurts annoy,

The lesser hurts; pleasure most rife;

Such pleasures rife shall I obtain

When distance doth depart us twain.

Barnabe Googe
