Kaitlyn’s (9) ANZAC poem – ‘Sea of Red’

 

Kaitlyn is age 9, year 5 and goes to Remuera Primary School.  She came home from school with this poem after inspiration from Flanders Fields poem by John McCrae.

My visit to Remuera Primary School filled me with sizzling poetry

I saw the whole school! I shared poems and we made up poems. I got all the Year 5s and then all the Year 6s in the hall writing ‘Library’ poems for their book week. What fun! What a wonderful way to finish my school visits for the term.

Here are two of my favourites:

The Library
When I go to my school library
It’s my free ticket to….
Unknown mysteries and treacherous histories,
Trojan Wars and American Smores,
Fairy tale romance and a royal slow dance,
Seas of the past and deserts that are vast.
But nowhere is better than home.

My School Library

My school library

is my free ticket to

the vast plains of Africa

the muddy trenches of the First World War

to life on a strange planet.

The library is the place for travel around

the world and through time.
