Wintry Poems

This morning many in Room 12 went outside and braved the elements to be inspired to write. Check out some of them below.

Winter These Days
Chloe

Wet winter
Why?
Dripping from the eaves
Sleet taking over the city
As the rain falls from the trees
Wind whistling through the air
Everyone's hair drenched
Clothes wet
The sun in prison
Can't melt the bars
As the clouds keep laughing.

 

Sad and Depressed
Nguts

The wind pulls me away
The icy rain biting at my face
Gloomy and grey
Sad and depressed
As winter closes in
There's no way out.

 

 

Winter
Emily

Incessant rain fills the air with clouds
As it discovers a cold and frozen blizzard
Puddles
Wind whistling
Bombing sleet
As snow fades into the unknown
As it escapes to icy cold water
Melting away.

 

 

Destroyer
Ruairi

White blankets the world
Destroying the colour
Spikes frozen in time
Unable to move
Over weight clouds release themselves
Saturating everything
As water pelts down
The mountains disappear before your eyes
But in another world they are safe.

 

 


Freezing
Maia

Freezing, freezing, freezing!
Land of melting winter
Water dripping from your cheeks
Wind whistling in your ear.

As the sun fades in the dark
Sleet crying down
Making huge puddles
Cold
Freezing
Dripping
And listen to that river flowing
In the distance.

 

 

Sophie

Freezing and dripping
Clouds wailing in agony
Wind whistling and attacking
Stripping trees cold and bare.

Sun vanished
Incessant rain taking over
Snow covering the city like a blanket
Sun pleading to be seen.

Slushy puddles
Eating the ground
Getting bigger and bigger
Drenching the land.

Ngaire

Howling
With mocking laughter
Pushing the leaves
Crumpled
And old
To their fate.

Ripping at the trees
Angry
As they fight back
And he orders rain
To join his army.

Vicious
Led by the wind
With his painful screech
As they overpower
Triumphant.

Blizzards
Amelia

Wind howling, screeching, yelling through trees
Raging water, plummeting from the sky
Coldness stinging me like needles
Rain screaming as it hits the ground.

Dripping, squelching, splashing
Brown rivers overflowing
Flooding the streets
Snow whispers as it gently vanishes into the ground.

Storm clouds suddenly disappear
Telling me that this will not be over
Puddles slowly migrate
The storm is over.

 

Braeden

Howling with laughter from the wind
Hailing heavily on my head
Snow falling off the ice trees
Snow covered the footpath
Grey clouds cover the sky
Leaves blow off the trees.

In pain from frostbite
Mountains with snow on the top.

 

Fritha

Howling winds
Calling for battle
Birds travelling
Tweeting
Looking for food.

Mud rushing down a brook
Splashing
As it nibbles the edges of snow
Sleet slicing at my face
Scratching and banging.
