Colour Poem Pink Grapefruits are pink Lip gloss sounds pink Strawberry ice cream smells pink Pink feels loving Animals make you feel pink Strawberries taste pink Hugging your friends seems pink The sunset is pink

I am very fond of hedgehogs Which makes me want to say, That I am struck with wonder, How there's any left today, For each morning as I travel And no short distance that, All I see are hedgehogs, Squashed. And dead. And flat. Now, hedgehogs are not clever, No, hedgehogs are quite dim, And when he sees your headlamps, Well, it don’t occur to him, That the very wisest thing to do Is up and run away, No! He curls up in a stupid ball, And no doubt starts to prey.
 * __ Task 3 __**
 * __ In defence of hedgehogs __**

Well, motor cars do travel At a most alarming rate, And by lunch time you sees him, It is very much too late, And thus he gets a-squasho'd, Unrecorded but for me, With me pen and paper, Sittin' in a tree.

It is statistically proven, In chapter and in verse, That in a car and hedgehog fight, The hedgehog comes off worse, When whistlin' down your prop shaft, And bouncin' down your diff, His coat of nice brown prickles Is not effect-iff.

A hedgehog cannot make you laugh, Whistle, dance or sing, And he ain't much to look at, And he don’t make anything, and in amongst his prickles, There's fleas and bugs and that, But there aint no need to leave him, Squashred. And dead. And flat.

Oh spare a thought for hedgehogs, Spare a thought for me, Spare a thought for heedgehogs, As you drink your cup of tea, Spare a thought for heedgehogs, Hoverin' on the brinkt, Spare a thought for hedgehogs, Lest they become extinct. By Pam Ayers I think that Pam Ayers’ Poem is smart and it is a good way to express care for hedgehogs well being. This poem is witty and very funny. I think that Pam Ayers cares about animals in danger. I also think that Pam Ayers is a very humorous, witty writer. She put both facts and her feelings and emotions into this piece of poetry and I think that she thought about it a lot. Her other poems have the same wit and humour in them. I think that this poem contains euphony I also think that this poem is a lyric which is a poem that expresses the poets feelings toward the subject, Imagery; painting a picture in the readers head and Mood, creating a mood in a poem or story. I chose this poem to do my task on because it is funny and entertaining and I really like Pam Ayers work. I like it because it is humours and is an original way to tell the reader about what is happening to hedgehogs. By Erin

Lion In the jungle Stalking a young deer Big, black eyes wild with hunger Huge padded paws tense and ready to spring It’s tail flicking with excitement Leaves rustle loudly a few feet away The deer spots a movement and makes a run for it A tiger runs after it Chasing it into the trees **__ Haiku Poem __** 5. Nobody can see. 7. It is a solar eclipse. 5. Darkness everywhere. **__ Colour Poem __** Pink Grapefruits are pink Lip gloss sounds pink Strawberry ice cream smells pink Pink feels loving Animals make you feel pink Strawberries taste pink Hugging your friends seems pink The sunset is pink

**__ The sunset... __**
Sharp, serrated rocks covered in soft, green moss surrounds small, transparent pools of water that escaped the vast expanse of ocean, calm water as cold as ice, ripples around the jagged, uneven cliffs. Rough, pointed mountains stand tall, far above the ocean, blocking the light coming from the setting sun, all reaching far above the sea, like giant, rugged pillars. Calm waves swell over the peaceful, transparent ocean while sea creatures bobble in the uneven waters, waiting for the tide to take them back to the welcoming sea. The sun sets, turning the everlasting sky a blend of pink, purple and a darker blue, reflecting on the water and turning it a mix of these colours. The final rays of the sun beams down on everything making it shine in the light. Emerald seaweed glows beneath the sea, swaying with the tranquil current. Radiating fish circle in the pools of water calmly. The smell of dampness lingers in the warm, evening air, making the atmosphere calming; A light breeze moves the salty air over the ocean. The final straw of sunlight flows from the fluffy, white, cottony clouds, darkening the atmosphere.

Optimism
 Optimism is the daughter of Joy and Perseverance. She is the sister and best friend of Hope. Her other friends are Friendliness, Courage and Happiness she tries her hardest to like everybody but at times, Doubt, Anger and Pessimism really get on Optimism’s nerves! Her idol is Confidence. Although she is kind and helpful to everybody, Confidence is a quality that Optimism lacks.


 Short, blonde hair bobs just above Optimism’s shoulders and she has big, glowing, blue eyes. Long, lightly tanned legs flow out from her favorite, flowery skirt that hangs just below her knees and her long sleeve, yellow ‘peace’ T-shirt is a must when wearing this! Peace is Optimism’s favourite quality. She is completely ‘save the whales!’ Everyday, Optimism goes to work at Kelly Tartans because she absolutely loves animals. Her favourite is the giant panda because they’re gorgeous and almost extinct so ‘we should do everything we can to help save them!’ When she gets home, Optimism will read her favorite book, Pride and Prejudice she has read it so many times, but never gets tired of it! If you are upset or injured Optimism will be at your side in seconds! She won’t ignore you; she will help and encourage you. Optimism lives in everyone. Whether she is deep, deep down inside of you, or your best quality but she is there.
