| Lullaby Eve Merriam Purple, Purple, Twilight Sky light. Purple as a king's cape Purple as a grape. Purple for the evening When daylight is leaving. Soft and purry, Gentle and furry, Velvet evening-time. Purple, Purple. Sky light Goodbye light. Dusky Musky Into night. |

| I Like this poem for multiple reasons but mostly because of its down to earth subject matter and the fact that it is a simple reading. This poem is definitely about the color purple even though the title would lead to believe otherwise. I think that the title comes from all the relates to nighttime such as goodbye light or into night. Also I think everything described would be found in a dream. This poem was made to be read to a young child before sleeping. It is a very soothing and fun poem with good short descriptions. That is why I like this poem. | This poem is very childish in language. She uses a lot of made up words such as juddle or spack. These seem like word that a child would use to me. This poem also talks about puddle jumping and sploshing which i relate to walking in the rain hints the title "Weather". This poem to me is very easy to under stand even though of its tongue twisting language. It is a very simplistic poem using many poetic elements. That is why this poem even so simple as it is can express so many emotions with out concisely relishing it. |
