Our Precious Box poetry
We tried to imagine that we had to collect up some precious things to keep. The box is very small so we could only take the essence of the precious things with us. We had to unpack our ideas until we got to the essence. We used Voicethread to upload our published poems and are working on presenting our poetry to the world! This became quite topical when many families in Christchurch lost family, friends their homes and belongings.

awesome poems room 13
ReplyDeleteThere is a secret place that few New Zealanders have seen
ReplyDeletewhere lakes are pure, the mountains high and rivers fast and clean
where quiet alpine scenery surrounds a boundless sky
and simple carefree people wave to every passer-by
This place is isolated from life's normal cares and woes
and thanks to circumstances prices there are still quite low
there's all the valued services from shops to restaurants
and friendly country inns where keepers cater to your wants
The local river runs all year an easy walk from town
with swimming holes and willow trees and fish i'm told abound
the suns rays on the water like a zillion diamonds gleam
with cool and crystal pools surrounded by a wondrous scene
In winter the whole town can be just like a fairy tale
with frosted trees and bushes framing every snow clad trail
and every home's a warm embracing invitation free
of all your city worries and life's animosity
The spring and autumn sun-sets here just take away your breath
and fantastic mountain thunder storms that scare you half-to-death
and spring-melt alpine river flows canoers seek in droves
will guarantee you're absolutely thrilled down to your toes
i could go on forever 'cause it's easy when it's true
though you might not believe in all the great things here to do
so i'll just let you know the name in case you're driving past
the town is known as Twizel it's MacKenzie Country's Heart
New Zealand Secret
