My Appeal

By: Marites G. Ramos

I am a plant, living and free

Planted by the farmers, and others maybe

Just like you, I need things to grow

Sunlight, water, soil, and many more.

But on top of these,

Rays of the Sun are always I am looking for

Its light helps me make my food.

So please remember if I am inside

Put me out from time to time,

And let the light of the Sun kiss my shiny green leaves.

Questions:

1. Who is speaking in the poem?

2. What activity of man is mentioned in the poem?

3. What does the Sun may give to the plant?

4. How does the sunlight help the plant grow?

5. What is the appeal of the plant?
