  2. It contains poems about people in American History. My favorite poem in this book is Pocahantas. It begins:
    Princess Pocahantas,
    Powhatan's daughter
    stared at the white men
    Come across the water.

    She was like a wild deer
    Or a bright plumed bird,
    Ready then to flash away
    At only one harsh word.

    I am memorizing a poem called, "The Flag Goes By", by Henry Holcomb Bennet.

    I love you!

    Love,
    Catherine
