Year 5 Poetry
Take a look at this great poem written by Luke in 5N. The year 5 students have been looking at poetic devices and Luke has used imagery very well in his poem The Firefighter.
Firefighter
His face is fire
His smile is flowing water
His hands are rubber
His arms are hoses
His legs are spaghetti
His fingers are wood
His heart is steel
His stare is a dark wind
His voice is a massive echo
His laugh is a bee.
