Summer Time            By Kura

I go outside to play, because there’s not a single drop of rain.

I always have such fun, playing in the sun.

My mum she get’s some ice, because it makes the drinks nice.

My dad he cooks a barbeque for everyone to eat, I always have a plate majority of it is meat.
Later we go for a swim while the grass is getting trimmed.

Then we get tired we all got to bed but I stay up and watch T.V instead. In the middle of the movie I want to go to bed but I can’t cause the horror is still in my head.

As I close my eyes night times almost done,Then I start to realise it’s time to for another day of fun.      

Dark Places.               By Densa Waller

It’s dark and wet.

with slimy, slithery creatures in the deepest corner of the ocean .

4.Describe what a slimy slithery creature is.

Scalamandre, Jellyfish, eels

Spooky shadow shapes

Ghosts, cats, objects that look like scary.

5. What do you think makes this poem funny.

It’s funny because whenever my brother leaves his lunch in his bag for over two days he gets a growling and most times it’s hilarious because sometimes he doesn't care at all.
