A Child's Garden of Verses
I liked reading A Child's Garden of Verses. I think Robert Louis Stevenson is a very talented writer and I admire him for his ability to write for children. I like how there are many different sections such as The Child Alone and Garden Days. To me, this really sets the scene while I read a poem in that section. One of my favorite poems from this collection is The Unseen Playmate. I love it because the way he describes this unseen friend. Everyone had an imaginary friend when they were a child, and this poem describes how fun they can be. My favorie verse is " Nobody heard him and nobody saw, His is a picture you could never draw, But he's sure to be present, abroad or at home, When children are happy and playing alone." When a child is alone, their unseen friend is always there for them!
