My favorite poem so far is called the Shy Roofer. It was one of the only ones that
caught my eye so far in this book.
I like this poem because there is some rhyming in it. It follows a pattern that is
easy to understand. This makes it much more interesting to read.
I also understand this poem better than the others. It doesn’t seem to have a
hidden meaning behind the words. A lot of other poems seem to hide what they are
trying to say .
The last reason that I liked The Shy Roofer was that it was short. It got right to
the point. There weren’t a lot of extra words that didn’t need to be there. This way it
didn’t get boring.
