Poetry - January 2020
Posted: Jan 20, 2020 by: A Richards (arichards) on: Mars, Mercury & Jupiter
This week the children have been writing their own poetry inspired by 'Slowly' written by James Reeves.
Below are a selection of the children's poems.
Slowly, by Matthew
Slowly, a sloth reaches for a bright, green plant,
Slowly, a feather falls gracefully, whereas we can't.
Slowly, an hour hand clicks in the clock,
Slowly, the head of a flower opens in shock.
Cautiously, a tiny sapling struggles from the mud,
Gradually, a rotting apple drips with juice like blood.
Sluggish is the disintegrating rock - but most leisurely of all,
The diary of a long exciting lifetime, even when you fall.
Slowly, by Noah
Slowly, the cake rises from it's case,
Slowly, a moonwalk is taking place.
Slowly, a feather falls from a redwood,
Slowly, the tide comes in carrying driftwood.
Slowly, life prepares you to die,
Slowly, another century goes by.
Slow is fossilisation - but slowest of all,
Prehistoric piattos have started to fall.
Slowly, by Liby
Slowly, I ate my lunch from a box,
Slowly, the tortoise ran from the fox,
Slowly, the sloth climbs down from the trees,
Slowly, the leaf rides the breeze.
Slowly, I read my beautiful book,
Slowly, the evidence comes out of a crook,
Slow is the tide that creeps up the sand - but slowest of all,
The shadows crawl across the land.
Slowly, By Hattie
Slowly,I turned the page of the book,
Slowly, the boat washed into the shore,
Slowly,the tortoise crossed the finish line,
Slowly,the sloth climbs round the vine.
Slowly,the cat fell asleep on the floor
Slowly,the man opened door,
Slowly,the tortoise said ‘done’ - But the slowest of all,
Is the world going round the sun.
