Our poems:
A recent change in the weather, provoked thoughts of a winter yet to come. With an opening line provided, the students found the words to complete these Haiku poems. Our focus was on description and the inclusion of alliteration where possible.
Anu
From the winter breeze
Sleet spins down onto wet paths
Pretty leaves turn white
From the winter breeze
Dark dust flies into my eyes
I wipe tears from my lashes
From the winter breeze
Frozen seaspray sparkling pink
Against the sunset
Asuka
Snowflake swishing around
He glistening old fir tree
Covering the bark
Sahi
Freezing snow so white
Like pretty white doves flying
In lands far away
Armar
Snowmen battle cold
The snowman throws a snow ball
Snow fights are special
Alyssa
Branches hang on the trees
Autumn leaves float in the wind
It’s so freezing cold.

Aaron
Orange leaves diving towards the ground
Cool air makes the tree feel sleepy
Hibernating under brown bare branches
Leaves wait to disintegrate
Nishita
Mum, look at the beautiful trees
Colourful leaves wafting like music
From drab dry branches
They fall like ballet dances
Twirling around onto the ground.
Arsh
Majestic gold leaves and red leaves
Orange crunchy dry leaves,
Dying
Skydiving towards the ground
