Waterfall poem
Lush green shrubbery peeks out from above the shallow gorge While jagged rocks tower fiercely over everything like huge shaggy wolves Water drops from the mossy cliff top before hitting the smooth rocks below, That have been carved even and flat by the endless pounding of icy water A calm pool, surrounded by protective rocks, leads down to a series of small rapids making the dead lifeless leaves on the river bed churn and mix with the continuously moving water

Wind passes through the peaceful setting making the trees whisper their unheard songs Unique birds sing tuneful melodies filling every silent gap that passes through the beautiful landscape Unseen animal’s run to and fro, going about their business, making only the slightest noise possible The pounding of the never-ending waterfall keeps the time in the forest like a drum would in a band, Every now and then a tiny chunk of rock breaks away and tumbles into the swift rapids hitting the great stone wall as it falls

Fresh air circulates through the calm surrounding mixing with the strong smell of rotting shrubbery The scent of dampness oozes from everything that has been in the path of the mighty flowing water Aromas from exotic flowers mix with each other making a new unique smell that can be made only in scenery this peaceful Everything in this ever growing forest has its own scent from the overturned dirt to the powerful waterfall that perfects the huge rock crevasse

Wild water rushes down the rock face stripping the grey stone wall of any moss or algae that no longer has the strength the resist the pull of the forever moving water The rapids are small but they move fast enough to make the unstable rocks tremble under pressure Bushes sway in the breeze while tiny silver fish dart around underneath the rippling surface of crystal water

__ Confidence __  When Confidence steps it to the room the atmosphere changes from boring to beautiful. Light seems to surround her flawless beauty. She is the daughter of Courage and Inspiration. Confidence is not afraid to step out and take risks. She reaches to you when you need it most, usually when Fear and Doubt begin to take over. Her best friends are Optimism, Joy and Pleasure. She’s an only child so she grew up with lots of support from her parents. Her long chocolate coloured hair goes right down past her shoulders, but she wears it in a ponytail with wisps of hair coming down over her face. Her skin is a light shade of brown. She wears a dress that goes just past her knees. Its blue and floats around her slender legs making it look like she’s standing on a cloud. Confidence’s favourite thing to do is to sit at home with her friend’s on cold rainy days and watch movies with popcorn and hot chocolate. Confidence is remembered by everyone she meets due to her smile that could brighten even the darkest life. Confidence isn’t a very high achiever but she tries her best and is a role model for everyone. She is a favourite among students and teachers. Her enemies are Shyness, Fear and Doubt. Her cousins are Love and Wisdom. All of Confidences friends and family turn to her for advice. Confidence is fussy but she’s outgoing and fun. Her favourite place is the beach, were she can feel the wind in her hair and the water on her feet.
