What’s Inside This Bud?

By

Hi, teachers! Here’s another couplet from my What’s Inside? Poems to Explore the Park project. Stay tuned tomorrow for the answering quatrain:>)

 

 

What’s inside of a tightly closed bud,

this tip of this stick sticking out of the mud?

Bud

 

 

 

A Note from the Poet:

 

I love assonance, which is repeated vowel sounds. Do you hear all the /i/ sounds in the second line? Repeating ’stick??as both a noun and a verb?was also fun.
