Camp Poem

We just came back from camp at Arthur's Pass and what a time we had. We went there on a train it took 2 and a half hours to get there and when we got there we settled into our cabins and did lots of cool things like...
Hut building, 2 BIG walks, charades, blindfolded pictionary, sensory trail and lots more. 

 This is a poem about the sensory trail.

I heard
The water rushing as I leaped over a stream with my big heavy shoes.


I heard
Miss Scott shout "DUCK" as I was nearly about to hit my head on a branch.


I saw
Nothing as I followed the rough rope with my sturdy hand.


I felt
Scared as I didn't know how long the to the end.


I felt
                       Something cold and wet as I tried to get over it.


I wondered
How far to the end as I was getting tired of tripping over.


I wondered

How close the other person was to me.

  2. Your poem made me wonder through the sensory trail with you... I could feel the rough rope, the coldness and the wetness, and I could hear the stream rushing past. Your poem was absolutely AMAZING sally. Well done! Thank you for showing me such a wonderful poem. I hope you would write many more. Your poem had brought a big smile onto my face.
