Poems by Emma
A Rhyme- a- Riddle-a- Chime- a- Fiddle
The greenness of a lime The humming in the air A tree A bumblebee A howling in the sky A baby bird about to fly
The darkness in the sky taking over the light The mysterious growls begin to start In the darkness of the night Asleep the flowers wait ‘Till morning they open The sound of seeking light begins to fade Owls come out Until light comes out of the trap of darkness Ready to warm my heart
The Spirit of a Dragon
The darkness of a dragon Though eyes gleam with no fright A hiding sun inside a storm
The rain on a stormy night Or the brightness of the sun A gleaming soul In darkening shadows
Starry Night, Darkening Night
The starry night Bats in flight Wings shining against the moon Owls hunt ‘till light The crickets sing with the frogs The sleepy world falls to sleep Until the lightened sky While the birds take flight The sun gleaming off the lake The owls wait till darkening night To take flight once again
Dark and Deep
Dark grey water swarms the lake As storms start to brew up in the darkening sky Water rushes down the mountain As a waterfall whirlpools Swirls as fast as light The mountain tips Sharp as a knife The hunting animals creeping silently Slowly to catch their prey Trees closing in around the forest Dark and deep
Ocean Days
Lightly the waves crash down on the beach of yellow sand With seagulls roaming the sky of blue Saying hello to the land
Rocks cover the seaweed Swirling round and round Logs floating to the shore As light as the sand
The starfish an orangey colour Pebbles the colour of the towering caves Covering the muddy patches Trapping everything in its path The salty air
collapses all around
Blazing Storm
Swirling wind Crashing waves Clouds giving birth to the rain Darkening sky Moon showing bright A warning is being carried through the waves As they break on the rocky, dark shore Palm trees sway, uprooting themselves Crying a warning The swirling mist forms as the waves pull back and crash in a massive heap of water Diving right down into the ground tearing up everything in its path The sun has vanished in the mist As the waves break at the shore and more trees uproot themselves in a tangled mess of leaves and bark Collapsing down to the ground Falling down, Falling down to the ground Look up at the darkness closing in around the world Look up to see the mist close around the trees The oldest ones beckon the storm over You can see the mist and the rain, the trees as they rock from side to side Watch the clouds creeping down secretly and quietly Water tearing and ripping the light and the trees Turmoil thrashing over the land No end in sight until The trapped light
escapes to form morning
Rainforest
Gliding gracefully from the sky to a tree Running quickly through the plains at top speed Jumping from tree to tree with speed and gracefulness Crawling through the bushes ready to pounce The trees cover the light like a rooftop River flowing silently while water rushes down the mountain in a series of bubbles The wind calmly whispers to the trees above As rain comes pouring down into the shrubs As silent as night Comes the tiger to say hello to the rainforest
