The Thought Fox

This morning we talked about and tried to understand The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes. It is actually about not knowing what to write - I'm sure you can all relate to that! Here are a few of the poems I have received so far. Keep up your great learning team!

Staring down into a wite abyss

Ready but realising my train of thoughts left the station without me

My mind is falling endlessly

But my body is still

Disaster in the air

Reaching helplessly for the keys

I stumble upon a wall

Horrible thoughts cross my mind

An idea upon me

As the wall starts to crumble

Light has awoken

Now i stare at a full page

           By Louis

Simone

Looking through the window 

I see an array of colours 

A blanket of clouds 

Shield my thoughts .

A hole tears open the fabric

enveloping me

I am plunged into a thick mist

Confused and alone.

I fall ,and I fall,never landing

Hands reach out full of keys

But none of them open my mind

It is still locked.

In the doorway a light flickers

Panic and haste take control

Suddenly from deep in the mist 

A light bulb appears.

The Fox

Maddy Cogle

Staring above on a starless sky,

The lights come, but flicker away 

The common halts create an abyss of sorrow in the depths of my mind.

I walk on, longing for some sort of perception.

Urgency begins to overflow

lack of light becomes antagonizing,

I fall, I land on a track.

Before me lay two paths 

One is blank, the other is packed with stars, on an inky sky.

There is no way out, I am forced to make a decision. 

But I don't, 

I pull out my book,

And begin to write.

My thoughts Samantha Foote 

I imagine darkness 

Where happiness is lost 

Leading me away 

And disappearing. 

My thoughts overpower the past 

As lies are unleashed 

Eddying to the ground 

They call for help. 

My memories fly wild 

As they fall apart 

I wonder 

As it forces me to run. 

Enveloping me into an abyss 

Rays of light 

pierce through the clouds 

As I wait for the future.
