Colour Poetry

One of our writing tasks over the past two weeks has been linked to poetry.  We have been exploring how colours make us think of certain things and looking at ways we can reflect that in the vocabulary we choose to use.

Here are seven examples from our class...........

Colour Poem by Olivia

Black smooth feathers fall

as the raven flies past.

Grey flat stones and pebbles

at the bottom of the river.

Yellow like the rays of sun

streaming through my curtain.

Red like my sister's blanket

thrown on her bedroom floor.

Colour Poem by Ashlyn

Fern is a mild, calm of a leaf

newly green, fallen from the tree.

Blue is a baby bluebell blowing in the breeze.

Yellow is a daisy, dainty in the palm of my hand.

Delicate, dreamy, bright, precious.

Lilac is a lavender a little girl picks

soft, warm, calming as her baby boots.

Colour Poem by Grace

Black is the colour of the blanket that covers the sun when it goes to sleep.

Silver is the stars and the moon shining through the night.

Yellow is the streetlamp that brightly guides the way for busy travelers.

White are the angel's wings gliding down to sing.

Colour Poem by Kaleb

Black is the feared darkness 

consuming everything within.

Turquoise is cool water

trickling through the cave.

Camo is the used uniform

protecting all our homes.

Grey creates the clouds

that caused the world's great floods.

Colour poem by Morgan

Blue is the sky on the sunny with no clouds.

Black is the night when the sun has gone with no light left.

Grey is the colour when it's raining on a miserable day.

Whit is the snow floating  from the sky, gently touching the ground.

A Summer at the Beach by Brieanna

Teal is the shimmering sea

lapping gently against the shore.

Lemon os the tiny grains of sand

invading everyone's possessions.

Scarlett is the red hot sunburn

infecting all bare skin

Pearl is the shining shells

crunching under your feet.

Colour Poem by Alina

Silver is the shimmering diamond

nestled in a ring on a bride's finger.

Teal is the colour of the Fijian ocean -

It's like getting into a giant bath.

Brown is a summary deck

that's just had a fresh coat of paint.

Red is a blooming rose

growing rapidly in your garden.
