Tree
By Thomas (Year 3, Sydney Church of England Grammar School North Sydney)I see up the tree. I cannot see to the top.
It is too tall. But I can imagine the top.
Full of seeds and squirrels, bugs and bird nests, and even the occasional treehouse. The branches get thinner and thinner the further up you go, until breaking out at the top of the tree, greeted by warm sunlight and a smothering of leaves. I can see some leaves t… -
Mountain Frog
By Isabel (Year 5, Cheltenham Primary School)Croaks blaring like a flood of crickets,
Bouncing up and down, in an endless loop,
Your orange glimmers while the blood-red sticks to your back,
When will your colour fade away? -
A forest of cash
By Annabel (Year 8, Gold Creek School)Tall, majestic figures
Watching over us, every move
Every wrong, every right
They listen, they watch -
Most things don’t live forever
By Matilda (Year 7, Northern Beaches Secondary College Mackellar Girls Campus)Most things have an ending,
Most things don’t live forever,
Most things have a happily ever after,

Earth
By Sam (Year 8, Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School)Green, that is what everyone sees,
But there is a lot more than just trees.
Fern and bushes, rivers and streams
Vines and roots make up the earth’s seams. -
Nature
By Imogen (Year 5, Farmborough Road Public School)I heard trees and it made me very calm and sleepy.
I smelt Coke, strawberries and brain lickers
I care about birds, trees, also lizards, and Mt Grandfather
Mum, Dad, 2 brothers, the colour seen in my mind is blue. -
What happiness nature brings
By Ava (Year 7, St Clare's College)Under a shady tree,
Sit flowers so bright
Grass so light

BRIDGE
By Adeline (Year 3, Brunswick South Primary School)When I walked out there was a spark of excitement. There were small frogs, blue flowers, ducks and chicks. When I walked I heard snaps and crackles, because there was an old and memorable bridge. As I walked, I swoe and swayed all over the bridge. I'm confused if it was real or a dream.

Astrocamper
By Daniel (Year 3, Ironbark Ridge Public School)I'm lying in my sleeping bag,
Which lies in my tent,
Which lies inside a valley,
By a river that is bent. -
Australia in all its Glory
By Sienna (Year 7, Whitebridge High School)As light slowly spills across the ground, the darkness leaps back, afraid of the glow.
The newborn sunshine dances and leaps, erasing the dark and swaying to and fro.
The sunshine illuminates a landscape, covered in human towers. -
Cheetah
By Aaliyah (F/K, Perth College)Cheetah
curvy fluffy
spotty mean strippy
fast as helicopter -
Ocean Dance
By Alex (Year 7, Immanuel College)Crystal ocean, combatting with the sea of sand
Majestically glistening amongst the burning sunshine
Dancing with the lights.

Breath-taking Beauty
By Ruby (Year 6, Immanuel Primary School)[image text:] "Dew is sparkling / Like diamonds under the sun / Breath-taking beauty"

Soil is Alive
By Vidula (Year 9, Pendle Hill High School)Soil is alive.
She is a beating heart, the orb for the creation of undeserving existing beings.
She is a cavernous grave, a testimony that manifests the significance of accepting the cycle called life and death.
She communicates through comprehensive silence, the atmosphere accepts her humming language in the air, lets her converse with the creation… -
The Plight Of The Koalas
By Milton (Year 8, Inaburra School)Amidst the lush eucalyptus trees, the koala sleeps and dreams at ease. Its fluffy ears and button nose, a symbol of peace and calm repose.
But danger lurks around the bend, as habitats begin to end. The human race, with endless greed, takes what it wants, with little heed.

Turtle,whale and fish
By Gabrielle (Year 6, The Anglican School Googong)The chilled waters of glistening deep blue
The treasure resting on the sandy seafloor
Beneath the beauty of the sea, there's rubbish and plastic murdering me
I am hopeless, I’ve nowhere to go -
Nature Poem
By Alexandria (Year 7, Mansfield State High School)As I lay in the grass watching the clouds form shapes,
the beauty of nature overtakes my mind,
I close my eyes and see in a faraway place,
a field of daffodils surrounded by trees, -
Kelly's Falls
By Luke (Year 6, Mount Ousley Public School)Towering rock formations, twisted angophora trees,
deep pools of freshwater, roaring waterfalls, leaves swaying in the wind,
water rushing over scarred sandstone rocks, birds singing to one another,
eucalyptus trees, aroma is strong, the soft mud, the old tree bark, granite rocks beneath my feet, -
The Blazing Cry
By Aimee (Year 5, Abbotsleigh Junior School)It’s a monster eating trees, slow yet powerful,
Bright orange takes over the blue sky,
The smokey aroma fills the atmosphere,
Burnt. Burnt. Burnt. -
Oval
By Lucas (Year 6, Mount Pleasant Primary School)The raindrops hit my head while the mud is splashes my face
The wind is as cold as a drink full of ice, it hits my face and sounds like a gunshot.
The ball flies in the sky and hits my foot, the mud spits in the player's face,
