Back Beach Poems

This week we have started looking at poetry. We wrote some poems in writing, listened to some during library time and we read some during group reading time. 

In writing, Mrs O showed us a photo of her family at Black Beach. We used the photo to help us make a list of vocabulary. We then used this 'bank' of words to write poems. Mrs O taught us how to write a haiku and we also looked at free verse poems. We could choose what we wanted to write. Here are some of our poems. We hope you enjoy them. 


Midnight Sand

Midnight sand
Black as clay
Soft and squishy
Damp and cold

A free verse poem by Briana



Sandy Beach

Starfish are red
Freezing cold sand
Running down the sand

A free verse poem by Daniel


Cold Beach Day

Cold sand in my hand
Big waves crashing on the rocks
Sinking when I step

A haiku by Eliala


Midnight Beach

Midnight freezing cold
Like sinking sand, gooey
Damp, soft and squishy
Dark, wet,  winter day

A free verse poem by Isabelle and Isabel


Dark Winter Evening

On a dark
winter evening
I went to
the beach
the sun was shining
on the wavy
water

A free verse poem by Mackenzie and Ahi


Winter Beach

On a dark and damp
winter day
Freezing cold sand
Runny sand as it slips
out of your hands.

A free verse by Shannon and Pama


After Day

Gooey damp sand
darkens as the night falls
The cold wind
flows across the beach
No more dogs barking
This is an afternoon
of a cold evening

A free verse poem by Emily


The Beach

The foggy waves washing
up on the sea shore.
A misty beach on a 
cold misty day.

A free verse poem by Cameron and Mason 


Beach Feelings 

The soft squishy sand 
Black sand drizzling through my hands
I hear birds diving

A haiku by Asha


The Misty Beach

Dark midnight sand
Brushing against my feet
in the wind. My body
starts to shiver and quiver.
The slimy rocks
make my legs shake.
I have an earthquake
in my body.

A free verse poem by Sophie


Black Sand

Itchy salt sticking
To my fingers.
Rocky wall at my eye, 
Crumbly sand as
I step,  
Black sand through
my toes.

A free verse by Abbie


Freezing Black Sand

Black sand
slippery
freezing cold
midnight
soft drippy 
sand 

A free verse poem by Aidan and Brayden 

Tomorrow we will be writing poems from our own holidays. Watch this space.....
