The Calm Before the Storm

Thursday 16th April

 You must read some of the fantastic poems that students in our pod wrote today based on a poem called "The Calm Before the Storm "

The calm before the storm

Vibrant,

Humid,

Those are the climate’s ominous lies

Howling winds whistle into the far,

Puffed marshmallows of 

MALICE

Waltz in,

Encouraging the pounding droplets filled with sorrow.

Signals

To Mr Thunder,

Ear splitting

BOOMS

As lighting fires back words of war

When the storm calms I vow to never listen to 

The calm before the storm.

Kahutaiki

I look out my window the sky looks fine

The sun is playing hide and seek through the clouds 

It looks like a promising day

But i see great storm clouds taking their time

Now the sun cannot be found

The rain starts to pour

Like water from a bottle

It hits my roof

Now it has started

The trees wail in the storm

The fog practice a complicated dance

While rain drops swirl around it

The clouds start juggling hailstones

But they drop every single bit

It drops on my roof

The sounds i hear are a distant bellow and the crack of  

Thunder that is closely followed by lightning 

It eliminates the sky in every shade of yellow -
Jet

 My storm poem

The lush, tall grass begins to sway,

Side to side in the rushing wind,

Clouds are swirling round,

And the sun starts to fade away

Rain starts thundering down,

Banging on people's roofs

The trees start to whisper 

Then shout,

As the wind gets stronger,

Never listen to the calm before the storm

By Isabella

The calm before the storm

Ominous clouds hover over the eerie surroundings

The steady wind waits ready to pounce and break mother nature's awkward silence

The spine chilling air lingers through the surreal atmosphere 

While the once bright yellow sun fades into the darkness of the clouds

 light rain starts to fall on the ground, continuing to grow heavier, and heavier as it falls

This  is the calm before the storm
