Earthquake
The earth cracks it starts to shake,
The angry toddler is awake,
Crack and crumble goes the earth,
Breaking bones and ripping towns,
The toddler kicks and bites and hits,
The earth stops shaking,
Mum puts the grumpy toddler to sleep,
We mend the broken earth,
Bandage broken bones,
Recover from the injuries and
Life is peaceful once again.
Hi Emma
ReplyDeleteYour poem about earthquakes is a really good use of personification. I like the rhythm and rhyme of it too. I also like the 'Life is peaceful once again' words at the end, as I am sure there are many people in Christchurch, and New Zealand, and all around the world who would very much like life to be peaceful. Well done.
Love Auntie Tine.
