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.

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
