Rhyming poems- Poko The owl

The owl sat up in the tree,
Trying to get higher so he could see,
The wind made a very strong breeze,
And Poko the owl started to sneeze.

Acho, Acho, Acho, It wouldn't stop,
He felt as though his nose would pop,
At home his mother said "eat this leaf",
The sneezing stopped! what a relief!

The next day he was feeling fine,
That was until he flew to the pine,
There, yet again he started to sneeze,
Stop! stop! I beg you please!

So again he flew home sneezing the whole time,
There his mum said "repeat this rhyme,
"Sneeze. Sneeze go away,
Please sneeze DO NOT STAY!"
Then Pokos sneezing disappeared.
And Poko found that very weird.

My Haiku Poems

Spring
Beautiful colours,
My skin soaks up the sunshine,
Spring's finally here

School

Classrooms fulled up with people,
Concentrating hard.

Some pictures of my shows are below.....
My Group performance.

My Solo

Acrobatics.

I guess you could say that acrobatics is my ‘hidden talent’. For those of you who don't know what acrobatics is its a sport as well as a performing arts. Most people believe that acrobatics is the same thing as gymnastics but they wrong, I guess they are sort of right but Acrobatics is a much harder and more challenging activity. Anyone can train to be good at gymnastics but with Acrobatics its a much harder skill to learn and most people who do acrobatics have natural ability's to do the sport but others that try often don't succeed and end up quitting. I started Acrobatics when I was 4 years old because I was always doing hand stands on the wall and bridges in the house so my mum took me to Ludiks acrobatics club and I immediately fell in love with the sport. Now alot of people think that that's what acrobatics is. Bridges, Handstands and forwards rolls but actually its flips, backwards and forwards walkovers, chin rolls, headstands, splits and much much more. I stopped acrobatics when we moved to New Zealand which was when I was 6 because New Zealand doesn't do it. In the 2 years In which I did Acrobatics shows and competitions I got 1st in the competitions 3 times, 2nd twice and 3rd once, I also got The best exam results out of the whole club, Best cartwheel award, The baby's award ( The best acrobat under the age of 6), 11 medals, 2 badges and 3 excellence ribbons. All those awards were for my individual performances but I also won heaps more for duets, and group performances. I think what helped me do so well was the practise twice a week for 2 hours each day. The thing I achieved the most was my south African Springbok Colours. You might not know it but the springboks rugby team aren't called the springboks because its a cool name but because as individuals they are the best rugby players in the whole of Africa. I got my South African Springboks tracksuit and a certificate to show that I, as an individual, am one of the best acrobatics in the whole of Africa.

Suzie Stump, Billybob Brick , Woody Wood and Wolly Winkle were just a few of the gnomes that lived in nevergreen forest. The reason this forest got its name was because the grass was never, ever, ever, ever green. It was always brown or yellow. TIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG TINGA LINGA LINGGGGGGGG!!! the alarm went off and and turned the usually quiet town into an absolute rush. “What do you want on your toast!!!” Suzie Stump screamed from the kitchen to were Billybob Brick was which was a upstairs bathroom. “I would like toe jam with a thin slice of haaaaaaaam” Sung Billybob as he was combing his long white beard. “Im thinking of dying it red” He said to his reflection in the mirror. Billybob put his comb down very gentley and went downstairs.
“Oh I see you combed your beard” announced Suzie, “YEAH and Im thinking of dying it red too, what do you think?” Replied Billybob “ Uh.............sureeeeeeeeee..why not” said Suzie but she was thinking ‘ I know why not! because you will look like a complete plonker and everyone would think your an absolute nutter!’ “ I think you would look great with a red bearddddddddd” She added shortly after with an extra roll of the eyes. In nevergreen forest if you drag the last letter of the sentence it is called jubing. Jubing is the same as sarcasm and Suzie Stump jubed alot!.
Around one hour later when Billybob was ready for work he walked up to the front door. He stopped because he heard a weird buzzing noise he had never heard before. Suzie!!! he called out “ What do you want!” she replied. Suzie was quite grumpy but then again her great uncle was grumpy who they did a documentary of because of his life with snow white and
the other 6 dwarfs.... The 7 dwarfs were actually gnomes but dwarfs sounded cooler to the director. Suzie came upstairs. You could have easily thaught it was an elephant. Not saying she’s fat or anything but gnomes, or dwarfs if you prefer, are a bit chubby. “Whats wrong now!” she said. “I think... I think....I think. Is what Billybob started saying but he was interupted by Suzie who said “I know you dont think so stop lying!” “Well Suzie think we are being overtaken by the human species” Billybob replied. “Oh dont be stupid! have you completely lost your mind? Are you going absolutely bonkers!” Suzie said and then and then shortly after she added “Oh my gosh! Why didn’t you tell me that the humans were building on our front porch!” “I tried but, but, but” He said like a little baby. “We will just have to get revenge . Said Suzie.
The next day Suzie and Billybob called the rest of the the gnomes in nevergreen forest to sneak through the underground passage of the village to the main hall and there they would discuss their revenge . “Wolly? is Winkle here?” Asked Suzie. “yes I am here.” Called out mayor Wolly Winkle as he walked up the stairs of the stage. “Okay you, you, you , and you 30 in that corner will go attack, You 7 will guard the forest and the rest of us will mark a building when the humans leave so that they cant come back to try again” Said Wolly Winkle. “Okay when I give the signal you all sprint to your places! Now I know some of us wont make it out alive but just imagine in a few years your great great grandchildren can tell their friends that their great great grandparent was in the great gnome vs humans WW2!” Is what he then added.
The meyor started walking off the stage and when he got to the ground he clapped his hands together and Woody Wood walked up. “Woody Wood at your service mr meyer. How may I make your life a whole lot easier?” Said the shorter than short gnome. “ Go get my
apple!” “RIght away sir, I wont dissapoint you!” Woody Wood said and then walked away. “Okay gnomes. Get ready for my attack signal!” Shouted the Meyer. 2 minutes later there was a complete disturbance when a loud voice shouted ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!! The gnomes all sprinted into action and the gnomes on attack started punching the humans feet and legs. Some lay down and then 2 others pushed the humans over the gnome laying down to cause the human to
trip over. The other 7 sprinted to the very edge of the forests edge to make sure that no more humans came to help the ones under attack. The rest of the gnomes went to the places were the humans had been defeated.
There was already 7 gnomes that had been smashed to a deadly fate and 2 gnomes had their legs and/or arms were gone. But despite those casualties the humans were losing the war and they were slowly surrendering and running out of the forest. When all the humans had surended the gnomes all went back to the hall to celebrate but when they had all arrived they realised that Wolly Winkle, Suzie Stump and and a few other locals had passed away.
A few weeks past and Woody Wood was made meyor but shortly after his election he fell off the stage and is now in a coma. Billybob now lives in the biggest house in nevergreen forest because he was the one who warneded everyone about the invasion of the humans.
The gnomes lived happily ever after without any fearther invasions.....that was until..... THE END
