Question

【题目】 Do you enjoy reading and learning poetry (诗歌)? April is National Poetry Month in the United States. Children all over the world also learn about poetry at school.

When I was young we learned about lots of different poets. Poetry comes in many different forms (形式). I like how it can be used to express serious feelings, or just be something that makes you happy.

Bush poetry, a special Australian style of poetry, is my favorite.

Bush poets write about life in rural (乡村的) Australia. They write about all the things that make Australia different from other countries.

One of the most famous bush poets is Andrew Banjo Patterson. He wrote his poems about 100 years ago. His poem called The Man From Snowy River is one of the most famous Australian poems. It is about a great man who was very good at riding horses. You can search for the poem online and see if you like it or not.

One of my friends enjoyed reading poems by another Australian poet named Bruce Dawe. Dawe writes poems about what it is like to live in Australia today.

My friends in the US and England also learned poetry at school. Famous US poets include Robert Frost and Edgar Allan Poe, while English students learn about William Shakespeare and John Keats.

Most poets are very interesting, inspiring (热情的) or unusual people. It is fun to learn about their lives and personalities. By doing that you can get a better understanding of their poems. Sound interesting? You can research these poets and find out more for yourself.
