What is the sea?
Year 5 Poetry - May 2016 We have been creating poems about the sea, using figurative language. Can you identify any: personification, simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, rhyme, repetition?...
Aidan The hot summer’s day The sea munches away at the shore. At dawn the sun comes out from the horizon. The salty sea was dancing with joy, With the sand sitting still at the peak of the sea, Today is no day for drinking hot tea. The ocean was roaring as loud as a lion on this hot summer's day. It was as hot as it could be, It was the end of May. The sky was blue, the sea was too. The sun was hot and the the sand was on a boiling pot. The heavens were so bright as a diamond in the moonlight.
The old beach shore

The sea is thrashing and dashing , The sea is dancing with joy, The sea is eating away at the sand like a hungry horse. The sand is blowing with the wind, The sand is acting like a hurricane, The sand is being swept around like rubbish on the floor. The sea is getting calmer, The sand has stopped blowing, Now everything is silent near the old beach shore . Aimee
THE LAKE The lake shivers beneath the beautiful sunlight,
Happily it survived through the night,
It shimmers across the sky,
But the river was glad it was light,
Hoping to hit high.
It knew that it was the river Nile and,
Back into the lake the river calmly flows,
When it was night the stars lit the way to safety.
Making very little splash, And hardly a crash. At night when the sun is down, The scary, dark and fierce sky haunts the river, The river hopes to make it by light… When morning comes the lake danced with with joy, Alicia

Sea storm The night sky was clear of clouds, The sea was as calm as a kitten, Scratching her paws at the sandy shore. Awoken by the sound of thunder, the flash of lightning, the rain on her dark black fur.
The Hot Summer’s Day The superior sea munches away at the shore, at dawn the sun comes out of the horizon. The salty seas were dancing with joy. With the sand sitting still at the peak of the sea, Today is no day for drinking hot tea. The sea was roaring as loud as a lion on this hot summer's day. It was as hot as it could be, It was the end of May. The sea was like me when I cry all day The sky was blue, Like the sea was too. The sun was hot, Like the sand on a scorching pot. The water was as bright, As a diamond in the moonlight.

Sand washed away as the roaring sea chased after the houses, It was GONE!, The sky was black with anger, You couldn’t see anything in the distance because the black clouds covered it. The stormy sea attacked the houses, People ran out of there houses as the fierce sea invaded them, Soon after lightning hit … Later that day the horizon emerged the stormy seas, The sun was a ring of gold in the blue sky, The sea calmed as the water fled from the houses, storm was tired

The Darkness Night With The Sea And Stars!
The sea was very calm, when glistening under the night. Above the stars danced peacefully, Wintery waves wildly crashed against the rocks, It starts raining in the glanced night the stars swallowed the rain got heavier and heavier, The moonlight went up and up, until it got brighter.
A day on the beach The sea was calm under the sun like a gold coin . The dog walking a long the beach with his mouth open like sharks for fish And the trees dancing in the background And the fish getting eaten by the sharks James
In the summer I go to the beach, it Is full with happy people. Children shouting and screaming, running and laughing, jumping waves. Sandcastles everywhere, watch your step. And the sea is warm and calm like a summers breeze. The adults are relaxing in the hot, bright sun while their children are having fun. In the winter I drive past the beach, the waves are aggressive. Strong, hard and violent, they hit the shore. The seagulls are screeching they’re everywhere. The beach is empty, apart from a man and his dog, The dog is hyper like my brother. I try to remember the good times there. I can't wait till next summer. Jessica

The Ocean The ocean is vast and carries on for miles, It's a fun place to play and everyone smiles. When the weather’s cutting and the storms are high, The waves are nearly touching the sky.
Under the water Many people look, For sunken ships And valuable books.
Awoken by the rising sun, The sea rubbed its eyes and lapped on the shore For a new day had come.
Ancient cities they might find, Ruled by a king-an unknown kind, A brand new part to history, Their kind no longer a mystery.
On a lovely summer’s day, When the raging clouds are away, The great big beast licks at the shore, Not making a noise not making a snore.
The briny deep swallows all, Sometimes making cities fall, Never letting anything get in its path, Everything near it will feel its wrath.
The sea isn't the only monster, There are other ones too, Lurking around in the darkness, Under the great big blue.
The Lake The Lake shivers beneath the beautiful sun light, It shimmers across the sky, Hoping to hit high. Back into the lake the river calmly flows, Making very little splash and hardly a crash. At night when the sun is down, The scary , dark, fierce sky haunts - the river hopes to make it by light… When morning comes the lake dances with joy, Happily it survived the night, But the river was glad it was light, He knew that he was the River Nile and when it was night the stars lit the way to safety.

It ate away at the sand, The horizon disappeared as the storm approached, People backed away as the sea whooshed towards them. Sand washed away as the roaring sea chased after the houses, It was GONE! The sky was black with anger, You couldn't see anything in the distance because the black clouds covered it. The stormy sea attacked the houses, People ran from their homes as the fierce sea invaded their property, Soon after, lightning hit… Later that day the horizon emerged the stormy seas, The sun was a ring of gold, The sea calmed as the water fled from their houses.

Tragic story of sinking ship
One day I was on a cruise
There is a lot of sharks like swimmers of the seas
Singing and dancing to my tunes
The boat is like a submarine
Until something was coming fast.
The water is crashing and dashing to the windows
It was a wave it was like a tsunami A light in thhe water deep in the water Everyone went inside and closed
It’s submarine and they were exploring the titanic
all the windows and doors
We explored the sunken boat
There is no chance of surviving Until I was upside down

The Dancing wave The wave was jumping with joy partying on the sea shore dancing till sun down. It settled in moon light, snoring non-stop in the morning the wild wave was licking at the shiny sun, cooling down in the ice cold sea looking up at the stars Waiting for it all to begin again. Mickey
The free sea The sea was a rush of wind The horizon lit up the sky like a bright light. The peaceful fish glided through the salty sea The sea is dangerous The water clashes and dashes on the sturdy rocks The sea is like a hungry caterpillar. morgan

The scary storm
The tragic incident occurred one night, When the sea swallowed a stranded ship. The waves were crashing and dashing, Suddenly there was a shadow, one survivor was saved.
The Sea The moon was shining bright in the sky.
Olivia
The sea was calm as the sky. The sea was wild like a lion in his cage. The waves were crashing and crashing and dashing against the rocks. The sea was swishing and swooshing with a loud noise.
Sam What is the sea? The sea shivered when the sun was setting, The giant golden ball hovered over the massive lake. The moon’s reflection lit up the sparse blue sea, Suddenly,the wind was blowing, pushing back the big, blue beast. Thrashing and dancing, The sea was eating away at the sand like a hungry dog.
Sea storm The sea was ferocious Like a wild lion The wind blowing like thousand fans Sand throwing itself everywhere Like a wild animal The summer's day The sea is very calm For once it’s doing no harm The sand so soft Like a comfy bed

Party wave
The wave was jumping with joy Splashing at the sandy beach. Partying on the sea shore. dancing till sun down. It settled in the moonlight as it drifted of to sea. In the morning it was licking the shiny sun cooling in the ice cold sea. Looking up at the stars waiting for it to begin again.
