Death
By Anthony (Year 8, Wahroonga Adventist School)Death is a very sad event
It’s a person in a parcel being sent
Although it’s bad
And really sad -
Home Again
By Ariane (Year 12, Wahroonga Adventist School)Steam rising off the hot asphalt
The faint sound of the creek trickling in the distance
Birds singing their sweet melody
This is summer -
Eternal Blooming
By Beatrix (Year 11, Wahroonga Adventist School)A tree drops leaves in the Autumn, but those leaves grow back in the Spring.
Now how vivid that tree, the colours so bright, like it was reborn again.
In the warmth, a tree, it blossoms, and is full of plentiful life.
It loses its leaves and colour, in the coldness and dark of the night. -
The Ashtray of Australia
By Audrey (Year 8, Wahroonga Adventist School)Black shadowy creatures, lifeless, still, hiding, deeply embedded in gumtrees.
As red-hot embers surround the sky ‘til an unexpected forceful, yet light breeze,
Sweeps through the green, everlasting landscape.
Spreading burning embers through forest plants as the birds desperately try to escape.
