Bloom like a flower

Look up and see the trees
They give life
And reason to live -
The Glowing Sun
By Luke (Year 5, Templestowe Park Primary School)The bright and beautiful sun rays land on me, the heat is addictive as soaking sweat rolls down my face.

Hobart Rivulet
By Imogen (F/K, St Michael's Collegiate School)Trees sway, water rushes, the wind blows through the trees.
The sun shines on this day.
People's footsteps stay.
Platypuses play for when this day is done, waiting, waiting, for the sun.

The inquisitive breeze brushing my shoulders.
The brilliant burnished surface -

It's just me and it. -
The oak tree

The poplar grows up straight and tall
The peach tree spreads along the wall -
Ocean Poem

Trees getting cut down everywhere
Please don't harm me
Let me be free -

Slithering through the depths of the sea.

The quiet sound of birds singing their song,
environment had danced with floating grace.
