National Poetry Day

We were lucky enough to have Claire Potter, poet, visit our school on Thursday. A select group were invited to work with Claire in workshop. Here’s one of the poems, written by Samira.

The Bridge’s Morning View

I come across on my travels, a bridge.

I wonder what there is to see from here.

So I climb on top of the banister,

Oh look what I can see!

Buildings, ships of all shapes and sizes,

Towers, parks and temples too.

And as I look up at the sky,

I really just can’t believe my eyes.

No smoke in the air, just beauty everywhere.

Gradient shades of pink and yellow.

As the sun wakes up from its sleep,

Bright glittering sparks scatter from its beams.

A sight so touching in its majesty,

I wish my family could come and see.
