Weather Poems

This afternoon we looked at a storm poem and talked about personification. Can you spot some of our super language in the poems below?

Emily

Winds hurry across the deep blue sky 
The sky darkens
Grey rugged clouds loom.

Bombing thunder rolls against the sky
Torrential rain cracks in the distance
The incessant lightning strikes across me.

Tropical rain flees across the sky
Grey clouds lighten
Dark sky fades
Sun rises from its habitat.

Adam

Wind howls in pain
Clouds become lured in by the sound
A flash lights the night sky
A boom echoes off the valley walls.

A flash strikes the hill
The sky roars in anger
Fear grows inside
The sea swells.

Wind calms down
Clouds back off
Stars appear
And the moon slides out from its hidey hole.

Ngaire

The sky darkens
Twists and turns
The wind howls.

Lightning displays fury
Bursting through the black
Accompanied by a boom,
A crash.

But the ferocious scream starts to fade
The sky stretches and yawns,
As if waking up from a dream
Clouds wander away,
Exposing a beaming sun.
