A Poem by Me!

A Poem by Me!

We have been learning about rivers at school and in writing we were asked to write a poem about them. I really enjoyed doing this so thought I would add it to my blog.

The Journey

I begin in the mountains,high, high above,

Dripping down until I form a stream,

I bubble through moss

And drip down ledges, 

Trickling down the mountain

Rushing into a river, skidding on the bank,

I curve around and around.

Now I am deeper- you can't see my bed,

I softly swirl all around.

My current is less swift,

More soft,

I drop the mud.

You definitely can't see my bed now.

I see hospitals and skyscrappers.

I can feel trains rumbling under me,

The air is polluted.

I need to get out of the city!

Now I am in the marshes,

One step from where I want to be.

I mix with the salt.

I am here.

My trip is over!
