I am really into poetry recently, so this is my third poetry book that I have read in the Summer Reading Challenge!! I found it quite interesting, because there was some question poems that had questions such as: "If I cry with eyes of green, am I a weeping leaf?" and "Do triangles ever get into a tangle when their sides meet their angles?" and "Little bird little bird which do you prefer? A house of wires or a branch that's a stage for feathered choirs?"
