Now that they were in second grade, Arlene and Ilene were learning about poetry. It was part of their language arts studies.

Arlene’s teacher, Mrs. Storch, explained that nursery rhymes were poetry. Then she asked her students to think of rhymes that they might remember from when they were little. At first, no one raised a hand.

“Let me give you a hint,” said Mrs. Storch. “How about Jack and Jill went up the . . .”

“Hill!” most of the students shouted out.

“That’s right,” said Mrs. Storch. “Now can you think of any others?”

“‘Three Blind Mice.’”

“‘Hickory Dickory Dock.’”

“‘Humpty Dumpty.’”

Suddenly everyone in the class could remember a nursery rhyme. It was an exciting surprise to discover that they already knew poetry.

Meanwhile, in Ilene’s second-grade class, Ms. Frost explained that poetry could be very short or very long. The teacher read a few poems aloud.

The biggest surprise was that one poem was written by a man named Robert Frost.
