10、 in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change？Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry，and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are，I believe，three factors：poets，teachers，and we ourselv

You might call the small sounds earth songs.Is it possible to catch earth songs，to put them into words?Long ago，poets in Japan listened，watched，and did catch the beauty of the earths songs.They did this with the tiniest poems in the world，called haiku

17、.A haiku is a poem that is just three lines and seventeen syllables long.And the poets who wrote them watched and listened，not only with their eyes and ears，but also with their hearts!In their haiku，the early Japanese poets caught the colors，sounds，and beauties of the seasons of the year.They sang o
