H: Clouds are white, as you can see Lovely, like you and me

"CLOUDS": Acrostic 離合體詩 No. 1 (of 2)
-- by H (then a Third Grader; written in class in 2014)

C -- Clouds are white, as you can see,
L -- Lovely, like you and me,
O -- Over the hills, over the seas,
U -- Um ... also over the trees.
D -- Do you know how I know all that?
S  -- Surely you can guess.


Actually the teacher said the students did not have to rhyme their poem. But H did (and that`s why she is an A-student, in fact straight-A student. fair enough).  

The first two lines are quite touching -- pure child-like innocence!
On line 4, her handling of the letter `U` is also commendable.
The whole piece is coherent. the ending is good, leaving the ball in the reader`s court. 
i just came across her school work last year by chance. so glad, i did not miss that... 

Acrostic n word puzzle, word arrangement, in which the first or the first and last, letters of the lines make a word or words.  
離合字謎, 離合體詩.
