Rain Poems

This morning our Year 5s were challenged to use personification to describe the rain after our puddle jumping adventures last week.

Quinn
As tears fall
From the sky above
The rain is sad
And no-one knows why.

Souls make a bunker
Out of fear
As they nestle in
For what they think
Will be a long time.

The sun is held down
By the powerful rain
For none will be happy
Until it returns.



Hugh
While my tears cry out
From the grey sky
My fingers tap, tap, tap on your window.

The land is enveloped
In water and wind
Creating a storm.

The dark clouds clear
Revealing the warm sun.

Ecstasy flows through the air
Laughter and creams fill the silence.



Clem
Knocking at the windows
With its bony, tree-like fingers
Engulfing all joy.

Creeping through the sky
Crying over trees
Dragging darkness with it
Like a slave on a rope
Enveloping the light.

Smiles draped on faces
Of happiness and joy
Droplets glide silently
Down to the dirt.



Marshall
As tears of misery travel to the depths of the earth
Puddles of water dampen vegetation
leaving screams of terror from dead fingers.

Clouds of darkness envelope the sky
Creating a barrier between the sun and earth's shell.

Piercing through the barrier shines ecstasy
Sparking life and hope
Roars of happiness and laughter fill the sky
This duel is finished.



Ayana
Tears fill the gaps of silence,
Rain streams down the windows
Beckoning to enter.

A mist fall, awakening darkness,
Fingertips repel off the ground
And chains pin the sun back, hiding her rays.

A faint sound of laughter fills the air
And a warm glow envelopes the darkness
Droplets shatter out of puddles
The sun reaches out.



Joseph
The tears fall,
Dripping on the window,
Begging to be let inside,
We refuse,
But decide to join them.

The tears dance,
Fall,
And crash into the ground,
Forming a reflection,
Another world.

The wind runs,
But from what?
Maybe the screams,
Where are they coming from?

Light is shown
Hoping its voice is heard,
So the tears run,
Dragging their sorrows with them.



Daria
Darkness swirls above the ground
Rain drops quickly fall like bullets in the cold.

Puddles form, the rain's tears continue to fall to the ground,
Down to their resting place.

The sun cries out from behind the clouds,
It longs to return to the sky
And shine once more.
