I finally saw it standing piratically, with a scar on it’s right cheek. I went to give a deathly scream then…nothing, not even a word. It stared as if I was it’s quarry. Then it loped closer to me. I tried to scream again but still nothing. It gave a rancid smile as it showed […]

people believe you find a pot off gold at the end of me
but thats not really true
I start at one place
and end at another
I can be lots of colours
and people think im beautiful
What am i?
written by Darcy

Snow falling fastly
Riding down the hills on sledges
It is winter now.

Dead tree
Branches are down
The leaves off on the ground
Branches snapping one by one
Dead tree
The leaves off on the ground

Autumn
leaves scattering
leaves are floating slowly
I’m feeling colder and colder
My next poem
Autumn
leaves are falling
they are turning golden
getting colder getting colder
Autumn
next poem
Autumn
those autumn days
colder and colder
leaves go from green to golden
Autumn

   Changing  Leaves changing colours   Different colours on the grow  Leaves change every month  

Wine as red as blood
Turkey duck smell lush when cooked
Eat drink have a pud.
Christmas is coming
As we decroate our house
We enjoy Christmas.
 

1. I wrote a haiku
But I cant remember how           
so just forget it.
2.When its Christmas day
The red chested robins sing
And the soft snow falls. 
3. We love the seaside
With its crashing foamy waves
And very soft sand
4.I love loud music
Lots of big and noisy drums
And rocking guitars
 

I have many surroundings,
Sometimes I crunch,
I’m multicoloured,
And sometimes things munch.
What am I?

I go around you,
I’m quite tall,
I’m gathered with friends,
I can sometimes be cold.
What am I?
