Could you please do something? Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. Well, it might if you fall off your chair while doing it. But try not to, okay?

First off, read this short poem:

Forests

Forests are like cities

They have tall trees that can grow 

Taller than buildings

Forests have rivers and streams running through them

Cities have rivers as well

Forests are home to lots of people

Just like cities

One big difference though

Forest noise is soothing

City noise blares

That didn’t hurt, did it? Now, here’s the second thing to do. This is where the falling off the chair thing might happen.

Please tip your head to the right so the words appear vertical.

Oh, wait! If you’re reading this on a tablet, you’ll still have to do this step. If you turn the tablet, the page will rotate with it, right?

Does the poem look like the trees in the forest? Or the buildings in a city?

This website is mainly about thinking and writing. Writers use words to create brain pictures. When you tipped your head, your brain put the words and the image of tall trees together. Yeah, you’ll have to use a bit of imagination. 

And don’t lean over too far. Remember the whole chair thing.
