Autumn Poems

We have been out observing some of the deciduous trees in the playground.  We turned our observations into poems making sure we used precise vocabulary and used appropriate poetic language features.  We displayed our poems on leaves we painted in autumnal colours.

The Tree

The sun highlighting the 

prominent features of the tree.

The leaves dancing on the 

damp and frozen ground.

The branches battling the

brutal autumnal weather.

The roots spreading out their 

skeleton like fingers.

The Tree

The branches tangled and twisted,

bare of life.

The lonely leaves wilted and dead,

relics of their former selves.

The bark broken and cracked,

wrinkles on the face of the mighty tree.

The silhouette cast upon the ground a 

perfect portrait for years to come.
