My Waves

soon a flock of floating boats was rocking on my sea,
I saw shells that looked like pearls,

Untitled

A buzzing wasp hunting for prey. -
Cinder Horizons
By Jamie (Year 8, Hillcrest Christian College)Hot summer heat is the crown of them all,
A vast jungle tree begins to fall.
As the flames begin to smoulder the trees,
Smoke, fumes and flames force the animals to flee. -
Nature
By Isabella (Year 5, Cheltenham Primary School)Soft spring buds burst open like fireworks, and the sweet melody from the birds awakens me.
Blossom gracefully falls like a ballerina in the sky.
The sun beats down like a drum, sunlight softly kisses my warm cheek.

Sea Levels are Rising

The White-Bellied Frog
By Madeline (Year 10, Goulburn High School)The white-bellied frog, as small as can be

And everything that lives
I love the plants
And the beauty that each one gives -
My love of nature

Protect our planet
By Mahi (Year 6, Ivanhoe Primary School)Protect our oceans

Vibrant lights pop like an idea sparking in your head,
Streams of radiance descend like a person's tears.

Quiet and still
It can be green
It can be dead -

children laughing as they swim,
