Finalist, Years 5 – 6, written poetry
Strong, tall and full of life all year round.
On a warm summer day,
You cast a shadow –
Somewhere for me to sit and cool down.
On a cool autumn day,
Leaves fall around you –
Somewhere for me to lay down and relax.
On a cold winter day,
I am locked inside.
I see you out my window, standing strong despite the conditions.
On a spring day, full of life,
You are strong and tall –
Somewhere for me to climb and have fun.
No matter the season,
You are still strong and tall,
Full of life all year round.
‘A heartfelt poem that invites the reader to appreciate the quiet strength of the natural world.’
