Poetry

Students read some of their fabulous poems to the class today.  Flynn, Louis, Cora, Monte and others, all worked really hard to incorporate some of our vocabulary words from the past few weeks.  As soon as their poems are typed and emailed to me, I'll publish on the blog.  Below are two such poems.  Enjoy! 

Rage!

Fuelled by the warm moist air

Waiting for the time to strike

Patiently he scans the globe

For his enemy target

He strikes rapidly

Taking no prisoners

His hands reach in

Swallowing the once tranquil land

His rage gets lifted away

By the spirit inside

Retired he leaves

Left

Solitary

Empty

The village cries

Written by Lucia

Tempest

The war

The love

The fighting

The voices

The ‘what about me’                   

The ‘ask mum’

The ‘ask dad’

The ‘don’t shoot the messenger’

The ring

Their only connection

Sold on TradeMe
