Here's a treasury of poetry from our fabulous year 4 Roto Writing Club:
A Hui of Tūī
by Aggie H
turquoise, brown, green and white feathers
flappy, beautiful wings
two white fluffy tufts
peacefully whizzes
through the breeze
over the rustling trees
flying around
snatching bugs like robbers
A Wisdom of Owls
by Amy Z
A wisdom of owls, black and white
perched on the tangled, old tree branch
marvellous wings flipping - and flapping
gobbling up fresh worms and insects
gobble, gobble
a lounge of little lizards
by Ethan G
a lounge of little lizards
striped and dotty
in emergencies
their tail can
disconnect
from their body
so they can run away
they zoom across
rocks and
sand
A Bed of Slimy Eels
by Harper B
Slimy, black skin wriggles smoothly
Dashing to find delicious slow snails
Slithering in wavy lakes and cold rivers
Long, scaly and snake-like
Sliding like surfers gliding on big waves
Beady eyes dazzle their prey
Sharp teeth bite on small things
A Chorus of Tūī
by Kelvin Ma
dark reddish brown
white fluffy tufts brush the air
bright, turquoise feathers swoosh
beside the current
eating from flax
long triangular tongues suck up the nectar
