We are poets.

We wrote an Autumn poem together by using poetic descriptions about the Autumn we noticed around our school.

Ko mahi tahi maatou teenei:

Autumn poem

The light green changes: red, orange, brown, yellow.

Red colour changes the leaves.

The red tree,

The leaves leave the tree.

Leaves make me think of Autumn tornadoes.

A tornado of leaves.

The leaves fall down, the underground leaves.

The tornado spins the trees on the ground.

Shoosh, shoosh - the tornado.

Flap, flip, flap, flip - the leaves fall.

A whirlpool, a yellow bath of leaves.

The colours are spinning.

Red, orange, brown, green, yellow,

A rainbow of Autumn.

The Autumn machine makes a tornado of Autumn.

Yellow and green, yellow and brown, RED!

Leaves on the ground remind me it’s Autumn.
