Poetry by 4A
Grade 4A celebrated World Poetry Day on Thursday 21st march by writing their own sensory poems. We hope you enjoy these ones!
Bribie Island
I feel the heat colliding with my skin, the hot bitumen warming my toes.
I see a bluebottle ant running across the sand but it’s the
least of my woes.
I hear the waves crashing powerfully against the land.
I taste the salt from the sea ahead of me, the white foam hitting the sand.
I smell the fresh beach air flowing through my lungs;
I completely love Bribe Island and it tops my favourite ‘funs’.

Windermere
I feel the grit of the dusty dirt between my fingers.
I hear horses neighing to say “Hello” as I walk past.
I smell the wheat in my horse’s bag of delicious hay.
I taste the fur in my mouth as I brush my horse free of dust.
I see horses prancing about in their paddock with their riders on their back.
I absolutely love horses as you can see in my enormous grin.

Fiji
I smell the fresh yummy breakfast buffet
I feel the sticky hot air today
I hear the splashes in the pool
I see jewels that are very cool
I taste slushies at the slushy bar
I love Fiji ‘cause it’s hot and we don’t need a car.

Shotput
I smell the tart smell of metallic gold hit the ground.
I feel the hard pavement where my shoes sit.
I hear the crowd go wild.
I taste the sweet ice cream that sits in my mouth.
I see my red ball soar through the sky.
I absolutely love shotput, you can tell by my big smile.

My Garden
I feel the green grass slipping through my toes as I dance on the wet, clean grass.
I smell the smell of roses, daisies and daffodils as they fill they air.
I taste the juicy green apples freshly picked from the apple tree.
I see the wallabies jumping and hopping around in our garden.
I hear the birds tweeting a happy tune as the morning passes by.
As I walk around my garden I feel, smell, taste, see and hear all these things and that’s why I love my garden!
