Q1
Read the poem and notice the way the words are arranged on the page.
Poem (about 160 words):
The poem is printed so the lines curve downward like a waterfall. The first lines are at the top, and each next line is slightly lower and more indented, creating a falling shape.
I stand where rocks are dark and wet,
and water talks in rushing sound.
It leaps—then slips—without regret,
a silver scarf that wraps the ground.
I try to hold one shining drop,
but it slides through my open hand.
It teaches me I can’t just stop
the moving world I want to stand.
So when my plans fall out of place,
I breathe, and let them travel too.
Like water finding its own space,
I learn a different way through.
