TREES

Trees just stand around all day

and sun themselves and rest.

They never walk or run away

and surely that is best.

For otherwise how would a

squirrel or robin find its nest?

–Aileen Fisher

FALL

by Aileen Fisher 

The last of October

We lock the garden gate.

"The flowers alive all withered

That used to stand straight.

The last of October

We put the swings away

And the porch looks deserted

Where we like to play.

The last of October

The birds have all flown,

The screens are in the attic,

The sand pile's all gone;

Everything is put away

Before it starts to snow---

I wonder if the ladybugs

Have any place to go.

A LEAF

by Aileen Fisher 

If I were a leaf

(but I wouldn't be)

I'd have to be tied

to a tree, tree, tree.

I couldn't walk off

(or skip or run)

and my nose would get burned

by the sun, sun, sun.

In summer I'd roast,

(in winter I'd freeze)

and all through October

I'd sneeze, sneeze, sneeze.

Butterfly Wings

by Aileen Fisher

How would it be

on a day in June

to open your eyes

in a dark cocoon,

And soften one end

and crawl outside,

and find you had wings

to open wide,

butterfly-on-a-red-flowerAnd find you could fly

to a bush or tree

or float on the air

like a boat at sea…

How would it BE?

Noses : 

by Aileen Fisher

I looked in the mirror

and looked at my nose: 

it’s the funniest thing, 

the way it grows

stuck right out where all of it shows

with two little holes where the

breathing goes. 

I looked in the mirror

and saw in there

the end of my chin

and the start of my hair

and between there

isn’t much space to spare with my nose, 

like a handle, sticking there. 

If ever you want

to giggle and shout

and can’t think of what

to do it about, 

just look in the mirror and then, no doubt, 

you’ll see how funny YOUR nose

sticks out! 

Upside Down  

by Aileen Fisher

It's funny how beetles 

and creatures like that 

can walk upside down 

as well as walk flat.

They crawl on a ceiling 

and climb on a wall 

without any practice 

or trouble at all.

While I have been trying 

for a year (maybe more)

and still I can't stand 

with my head on the floor.

Little Talk

by Aileen Fisher

Don't you think it's probable 

that beetles, bugs, and bees 

talk about a lot of things -

you know, such things as these:

The kind of weather where they live 

in jungles tall with grass,

and earthquakes in their villages 

whenever people pass.

Of course, we'll never know if bugs 

talk very much at all -

because our rears are far too big 

for talk that is so small. 

All in a Word 

 by Aileen Fisher

T for time to be together, turkey,talk and tangy weather

H for harvest stored away, home and hearth and holiday

A for Autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart

N for neighbors and November, nice things, new things to remember

K for kitchen, kettle's croon, kith and kin expected soon

S for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds

That spells THANKS for joy in living

And a jolly good Thanksgiving. 

Fly Fly Butterfly

by Aileen Fisher

Fly fly butterfly,

Fly fly butterfly,

Fly fly butterfly,

Fly up in the sky so high. 

CATERPILLARS!

What do caterpillars do?

Nothing much but chew and chew.

What do caterpillars know?

Nothing much but how to grow.

They just eat what by and by

will make them be a butterfly,

But that is more than I can do

however much I chew and chew. 

第一种是类地行星（岩石行星），主要由硅酸盐岩石组成，它们分别是水星、金星、地球、火星。第二种是类木行星（气态巨行星），主要由氢和氦组成的气体构成，它们分别是木星和土星。第三种是冰巨行星，主要由水、氨与甲烷组成的冰状固体构成，分别是天王星和海王星。

汉代之前，称为太白、明星或大嚣，另外早晨出现在东方称启明，晚上出现在西方称长庚。直到西汉时期，天文学家司马迁在观测金星时，发现金星的颜色为白黄色，因此与当时的“五行”学说联系在一起，正式命名为金星。

在西方罗马神话中，金星名字的来源是维纳斯（Venus）

“荧荧如火、亮度与位置变化甚大使人迷惑”古人认为火星位置较难预测，亮度不稳定，所以将其命名为荧惑星。在西方罗马神话中，因火红之色而取名“Mars”（音：马尔斯），他是罗马神话中的战神——玛尔斯。

正月十五元宵节来了，而今年正月十五的满月，恰好是全年度最大的满月，又被大家称作“超级月亮”。那么，超级月亮到底是啥，长什么样，又会在什么时候才有呢？
