My Day
By Tatupu P
As the sun rises from below
The light flashes before my eyes
The day flies by as the magpies and crows sing from above the gum trees
Sun shines upon the forest, when it finds itself with unforgiving clouds
Clouds pour the rain as it splodges and stains my clothes
Kids run towards shelter, as the rain bangs the covering roof
As we sit around the warming fire, the ashes run towards the unforgiving sky
As we run our hands together
Our teeth roughly chatter in the coldness
The rain slowly goes away
As the sunlight sets, the moon calls out to the animals of the night
Bats, owls and creatures of the night swoop from their rest
As the stars light up the dark black sky
Kids tiredly walk to their bedroom
The kids drift off into their dreams or nightmares
I sit near the red and orange and sing under stars.
This is my poem and this is my day.
