Have you ever fallen overboard at night?

Eyes adjusting,

Body plunging,

Courage crumbling

Wear safety gear!

Have you ever been stranded on an island?

Ocean scanning,

Mosquitoes irritating,

Sun scalding

Get help!

Have you ever been threatened by a man holding a stick?

Legs weakening,

Heart thrashing,

Eyes popping

Snap out of it!

Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish in deep water?

Skin burning,

Wound throbbing,

Body aching

Stay afloat!

Have you ever walked through a dark forest, possibly alone?

Eyes spying,

Shadows stirring,

Creatures roaring

Run!

Reflection

This work I have been doing is called a have you ever  poem. It is linked to a book our class has been reading called Kensukes Kingdom, by Michal Morpurgo. I have had lots of fun writing these poems and I will definitely do some at home for fun! :)
