This poem is featured in The Poetry Friday Anthology for Middle School in the seventh grade section, week 12, for the theme, "House & Home."

    As I said in the comment at the poem movie's link, that house must definitely be the "AFTER" house. (Come to my house to see the "BEFORE" lawn and garden--and bring your gardening gloves and clippers with you, please!!)

    Also: for additional cross-genre comparison, this poem movie would be easy to pair with a picture book: THE HOUSE ON DIRTY-THIRD STREET by Jo Kittinger.

    Love that last picture - that must be you all, Blaire?

    I'm with Janet. You could come take a photo of our yard now for a good "before" shot... ;0) And Jo's book WOULD make a wonderful pairing with Terry's poem.
