“THE WORLD IS NOT A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE” by Nikki Giovanni<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the world is not a pleasant place<\/p>\n

to be without<\/p>\n

someone to hold and be held by<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a river would stop<\/p>\n

its flow if only<\/p>\n

a stream were there<\/p>\n

to recieve it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

an ocean would never laugh<\/p>\n

if clouds weren’t there<\/p>\n

to kiss her tears<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the world is not<\/p>\n

a pleasant place to be without<\/p>\n

someone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In your opinion, why did the author give a different shape (or form) to the first and last stanzas?<\/p>\n

Yes. \u00a0I misspelled a word. \u00a0Most 7th graders misspell this word. Can you edit my mistake?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
