Summer Poem

In Room 5 we are learning how to write a poem. First we had to look at a summer poem by Marci Ridlon, after that we had to think about what we did in summer and put it in the poem. Here is my summer poem.

Summer Poem

Remember that time

when you lay down

on the hot, greasy sand

while everyone played in the water?

Remember how

you ate your

dripping brown chocolate ice cream

and it was getting all over your clothes

and it was delicious?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you devoured

fish and chips outside the shop

and you tried to finish it all

but you just couldn’t?

Remember how

the rough blue sea water tasted

very salty but nice

and you had to try and cough it out?

That was summer

Remember that time

when you watched

the fast flowing light blue  

waterfall water crashed into the rocks

and it was beautiful? Remember how

the daisys in the backyard

swayed from to side to side

as you lay there on the soft grass?

That was summer
