The lad was able to determine the stem and leaf section make up the stalk of the plant. He added that it's easier to think of a stalk as being part of a piece of grass or the wheat we have come up from bunny leftovers growing in the compost.
Do you think it was fair?
Fair doesn't matter to bugs mom. He was hungry and the little bug wasn't paying attention. Bugs should always pay attention.
What do you see/hear when you look at and listen?
Some lines rhyme but others don't.
The poem moves in and out.. not all the lines are the same length.
Mom... are there really silver flowers?
That got me searching and I was able to find pictures of plants with silver foliage but none of a really silver flower (except fake ones). You can see them HERE.
Knowing this I asked the lad if he thought the flower was real or if the author was just using colourful language?
He really didn't know. Because either scenario would work. Bugs can be found everywhere...even on fake plants. BUT most likely, he thought, it was the author just using colourful language.
