What to Focus On

  • Concrete can mean solid and hard.
  • Concrete can also mean clear and specific.
  • The title fits the chapter because the poems focus on real garden details.

  • Mrs. Jones owns a stone garden.
  • The garden has a crazy path, a lily pond, a rockery, and a sundial.
  • The tiny plants between the stones create a surprising contrast.

  • Humour comes from the contrast between stones and delicate plants.
  • The ending is a surprise.
  • The poem is light, playful, and easy to remember.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The flower in the poem is somewhere hidden in the garden and must be found by looking carefully.
