妹妹和姐姐所在的学校，一年级一般是不要求作诗的。可是转到了天才班，就不一样了。老师每星期给发一篇新诗歌范文，放在活页夹里，周末带回家，要求学生给家长朗咏或背诵，周一再带回去，必须有家长的签字。下面是三月份的第一首：《三月》。其中在括号里的象声词，是姐姐自己加的。
March
The month of March is marching in,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The month of March, let spring begin,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The month of March is marching in,
And birds return from where they've been,
And we all feel good
When March is marching in!
(Boom! Boom! Boom!)
The month of March is turning warm,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And tiny buds begin to form,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The month of March is turning warm,
And bugs and bees begin to swarm,
And we all feel good
When March is marching in!
(Boom! Boom! Boom!)
The month of March is brings happy days,
Hurrah, hurrah!
We celebrate in many ways,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The month of March brings happy days,
St. Patrick's Day has great parades,
And we all feel good
When March is marching in!
(Boom! Boom! Boom!)
下面这一首，则是姐姐的习作（七岁零3个月，小学一年级）。顺便解释一下，圣Patrick节又称爱尔兰三叶草（Irish shamrocks）节日。St. Patrick是爱尔兰文化里一个著名的宗教人物。在每年的3月17号，欧洲人和美国人，穿绿颜色的印有爱尔兰三叶草标识的衣服和帽子，上街去游行，以示庆祝。
Happy Patrick’s Day
On the Patrick’s Day
We’re wearing green.
Sometimes it’s rainy.
Shamrocks are green and tiny.
Getting ready
For the weather?
When the rain dries,
A pretty shiny
Rainbow appeared upon
The shamrocks’ heads.
这要请诸位行家，给帮忙指点一下子了。
