We have been learning to write a poem about summer, using our senses. We were also focusing on using poetic devices such as similes, metaphors and personification in our poem.

That Was Summer ocean as green as the tall beautiful trees. waves crashing against sandy shores are like cars knocking each other. Surfers sliding across waves are like hedgehogs sliding down slippery mud. Tiny sprats skimming my legs are like rain drops sprinkling my shin. That was summer Grains of sugar off cakes tiptoe across my taste buds like ballerinas dancing to wonderful music. Chocolate speeds down my throat as fast as a cheetah hunting its prey Cake as squashy as a saturated sponge dribbling like a baby. That was summer I trip like a falling tree because of the strong storm FAIL. Smell of my blood is sickening like Brussels sprouts served next to our fresh chicken. blood trickled down my leg like rain forced out of a puffy cloud. That was summer
