The Rain, the River and our Haiku Poetry

We have had a lot of rain recently, so the Awatere River is flooded and huge. We went for a walk down to see the river and take some photos. On the way Juliet said we had to write some poetry about the river. Here are two poems I wrote. Alice

River Flood
Today the river is brown and roaring.
Raging, destroying
Anything in its path

Dangerous River
The river rips you off your feet.
Your friends run to save you.
But the river can run faster, goodbye.

Flood Alarm
A river sleeping in its rock bed
Suddenly woken with torrential rain
Now roars and charges with anger.
Simon

The raging river rushing down the hillside
Making a hollow in the rock.
Ben

Flood
The storming river pilfering
Shingle piles down its rocky, coffee path
Roaring with anger.
Annah

Storm
Thunder, lighning
Clouds cover up the blue sky
The river turns to a chocolate milk shake.
