Come rain or shine

Come rain or shine our junior writers continue to join us online each Thursday evening with their enthusiasm, camaraderie and fantastic imaginations in tow - whether tasked with writing about dragons, dreams, candles or the unpredictable British weather!

Below are two more fantastic poems from our recent 'Wild Weather' themed club, with thanks to Shree and Namay for sharing.


British weather
by Namay

The sun came out then went away
It said it was too hot today
Rain came out and went away
This time it left a note saying it was too wet today
The wind came out and went away
This time it whispered saying to cold to come out today

The forecast said “a chance of sun,”
But clearly that was just for fun.
Lightning announced itself, with striking a tree in style
As thunder rolls in mighty bursts awhile

Humidity’s a clingy friend,
It hugs your skin and will not end.
While hail plays marbles on the roof,
And thunder shouts like it's the truth.



How the Weather Turns

By Shree


Swept off our feet

By a great blast of heat

Sunscreen lathered on my face

A splash of sun

Dazzling fun

How the weather turns

But in the midst

Of this feast of bliss

A shadow engulfs my own

As the clouds start to loom

The darkness begins to bloom

How the weather turns

Trees sway and dance

Raindrops prance

Umbrellas litter the street

As if caught in a spell

The weather forecast just cannot tell

How the weather turns
