But even when it’s shining bright it’s pulling the seas to its side “Water come, come to me, for I try to tug you free.” This tale is what we call tides, For the water rises through the night. This poem talks about the way that tides happen. The moon and sun’s gravitational pull make the water of the earth go back and forth, causing tides.

Acrostic: Seasons Seeing snow always brightens my day Even though I never knew how it got that way All along I thought it was magic although it is the, Spinning of earth on it’s imaginary axis On top of the fact that it revolves around the sun. Now I know how seasons are done. Summer, spring, winter, autumn.

Terza Rima When the Sun, moon, and Earth are a lined, The most amount of gravitational pull With a difference big and large, a Spring Tide just emerged. This talks about how a spring tide is the biggest between a high and low tide.
