Rainforest

I can see... Lots of pretty butterflies flying around, Heaps of pretty flowers all around me, I see dead leaves and long roots on the ground, Hanging vines and heaps of signs and heaps of signs on the side of the trees. I can hear... The bright and colourful birds are cheeping, The crashing waterfalls and tumbling rocks, Little green frogs are croaking, Birds tapping and making knocks. I can feel... Standing in the rain and I’m really cold I’m feeling mozzies biting me I feel the big rocks that are covered in mould I feel the rain dropping from the tree.

Questions to think about:

• How did the poem make you feel?

• How would you describe the mood or the tone of the poem?

Respond
