'Hush' & 'White Noise'

Ms Smith's Primary class have been inspired by the current Winter Wonderland Weather Conditions to pen some poems, and here are two of them (photo above by Mr Jones). As this post goes up, the flakes are coming down thickly once again in the Dublin hills...


'Hush' by Penny Nash

Crunching footsteps in the snow,
Smash of the ice,
Caw of the crow

Frosty breath in the air,
Landing flakes
White everywhere

Warmth of the summer long gone,
Gusts of wind
Leaves in wrong

Silence
Whooshing
Crash
Halted

Twinkling light explodes.


'White Noise' by Gregory Munday

All you can hear is a quiet trickling sound,
falling down from the sky to the bare barren ground.

The snow falls down like a soft wet wave,
like water flowing down in a deep dark cave.

Most people would say that this white stuff is chaos,
But I think the snow is something to inspire us.

I like the snow because it’s fun to play in,
But also to forget the pains we are in.

The snow just shows us what a beautiful world we have,
And we should make the most of it before time comes to pass.
