Poem - By Caitlin, Year 6

Caitlin's reading group read a story called 'The Hungry Wave' which was based on the earthquake and tsunami that struck the islands of Samoa and Tonga in 2009.  Caitlin wrote a poem about the tsunami.

Fire Tsunami

Tumble, tumble toss and turn,

It comes along and brings a big bad burn,

We run round and scream in terror,

And we cling onto trees to get away from the weather.

I trip and stumble trying to hide,

But I can’t get anywhere without a ride,

It tosses and turns like something within,

But pushes and tumbles all the tin.

My heart felt like it was on fire,

Trying to beat out but it’s covered in wire,

The glass windows shattering and breaking,

What is it, a Tsunami in the making!
