Appreciating Poetry A Free Verse Poem: Under the Back Porch by Virginia Hamilton As you listen to the poem, draw what you visualize. Circle the stanzas. Our house is two stories high Shaped like a white box. There is a yard stretched around it And in back A wooden porch. Under the back porch us my place. I rest there. I go there when I have to be alone. It is always shaded and damp. Sunlight only slants through the slats In long strips of light, And the smell of the damp Is moist green, Like the moss that grows here. My sisters and brothers Can stand on the back porch And never know I am here Underneath. It is my place. All mine. What do you learn about the speaker of this poem? What effect does the short length of the last four lines create?
