Time to Rise by Robert Louis Stevenson


A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon my window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"
This poem is a short and funny poem that applies to all of us.  We always want to sleep in and this poem reminds us that we     should be ashamed of ourselves.  In this poem, Stevenson uses personification and imagery to express his feelings towards the   idea of waking up late.  I can relate to this poem because my dad gets on my case every time I wake up late.
