Sophie’s 100 Words

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
This looks very sad
What’s happened here?
I think it’s something bad!

Someone has drowned
It might be someone I know
Everybody is sound
Their feelings are not to show.

As the body is lifted out
I look at the face
I need to shout
It is my best friend Trace

Her face is pale
As pale as snow
I have well and truly failed
I have let her go

I say my very last goodbye
Ha, she can’t hear me
Why did she have to suddenly die?
I can safely say, I’m teary.

  3. I love your poem Sophie. I noticed you used a simile and that created the right image in my head of pale snow. I love the rhymes you used they are amazing, well done!

  4. Wow Sophie!You have put lodes of work in to that. I can tell you have remembered the stuff that we have learned at school.Also I noticed the pattern goes A,B,A,B.Well done for using a simile. Maybe next time you could use personification or onomatopoeia.

  5. Well done Sophie! I like the way you used the rhymes, I noticed you used the ABAB pattern. And I like how interesting your poem is.
