This part looks a little funny on the page but when read aloud it also has a great sound. The brevity of the "devil" lines allows for "green" and "wheeEEE" to still make a pleasant rhyme, and sounds like a pounding of a drum or some sort.

This line sounded especially good in my ears, I think due to the consonance. I really liked the way consonance and assonance seem to be working together in this poem, as it goes back and forth between near rhyme and the repetition of the soft /i/ sound

I also really enjoyed in this poem, the way the author uses several different /a/ sounds, causing assonance, but one that is varied enough to keep the piece interesting. This could be an excellent way to show younger children the different sounds that vowels such as A can make. This one is especially pleasant

This part also stood out to me as the shift in the poem. Children get exposed to astronauts and acrobats everyday in picture books and in movies. But on their first read they may have to stop and think about what the absence of the words "afraid" or "all alone" might mean. This couplet changes the poem from a fun musing to a deeper understanding of the importance something as small as a single letter can have

I love how the repitition of the soft /s/ helps the first line just flow into the next. It sounded so good in my head that I wanted to read more
