This Grade 4 Hard 2 worksheet centers on a single short poem for multi-step analysis. Students name the rhyme scheme, identify alliteration and onomatopoeia, count stanzas, and explain why the text is poetry, not prose. Four multiple-choice and five fill-in items demand careful rereading and precise vocabulary. This capstone Grade 4 sheet shows how every poetry term works together inside one real example.
