  4. I chose "Winter Morning" by Ogden Nash and "Is The Moon Tired?" By Christina Rossetti. I personally think that Winter morning is better, First, my favourite season is winter, i like how it's rhymes are interesting and descriptive, the poem flows and it's not too short. The personification in this poem were not too hard to understand which made it more pleasing and flowy to read it
