Question 9
A)
Read the poem below and answer the following questions.



In the tempest's dance, flowers tremble, a delicate ballet,

Their petals catching whispers, as storms try to sway.

Yet, in the gusty waltz of the relentless gale,

Each bloom stands resilient, a tale to unveil.


Raindrops like silver tears, on petals that they tread,

Yet, flowers bow not, they raise their glistening heads.

Against the thunder's roar, they send a silent protest,

Fragile strength emerges, creating a quiet conquest.


In the storm's fierce grip, where the shadows play,

The blossoms still endure, blooming come what may.

A metaphor for life, in the garden's sway,

Perseverance whispers, "You'll find your way."
