Inspired by 'Foul Shot' by Edwin Hoey


Walking to the wet soggy grass 
the solid ball slips out of hands. 
Dash to your mark
Sprinting in
feeling nervous 
Scared 
anxious 
The pressure 
the ball
slips out
thumps on the pitch
the batsman
measures the solid ball
steps ahead 
does a huge swing 
tries to dominate
misses completely 
the round ball whacks 
smacks 
destroys the wicket
running around like a crazy maniac
cheering
shouting my throat out
We won

We won

by MukAah


Sprinting to the ball. 
rubbing your hands against your smooth uniform.
sweat pumping from your body.
Accelerating through the field,
eliminating players.
Swing my leg up,
ball ZOOMS through the air.
unsounding screams. 
Time calculates 5..4...3.....2....
net sets on fire by the BALL.
time EXPLODES!
Parents going wild!

by LimAar


Getting ready for my final game
Shin pads
Socks
Boots
Shirt
I get my soccer ball 
Im off for the game
Im at the field 
10 minutes later
My coach encourages that I am a mid fielder
It is half time we are losing
The second half starts I am goalie 
5 minutes 
Its 8-8 with 60 seconds hanging off the clock
Opposition has a penalty if i miss they win
Shacking
Sweating
Wobbling
They take the shot
My whole team is relying on me
Flying closer
And closer
And closer 
YES!
We won the cup is ours

by VoeDan


I felt like a lion roaring along my fence.
I felt nervous and I nearly fell down.
I was going to a cricket match, 
I felt shy that I was going to hide behind a tree.
I was feeling happy after hitting the ball 
a lot of times. 

by Ran Deb


Two fives stuck on the score-board,
5 seconds on the clock.
The roar of engines almost makes me deaf.
Shin guards scratching against my skin.
Boots squeezing my feet.
Right before the roar up, my foot thrashes the ball.
The ball. 
Flies,
flutters,
wavers,
wobbles,
         and then,
                      and then,
                                   and then,  
                                                 and then right before the deafening whistle,
it hits the cross-bar and,
bounces,
the goal-keeper,
dives,
misses,
the ball,
goes      IN!!!! 

by OveJac



My team struggled down the stairs.
Shaking there arms and legs.
Thinking about losing.
My team were struggling down the stairs.
My team were shaking.
The game started.
We were rushing and huffing.
My dad says "don’t be scared".
Grabbing the ball.
Squeezed by silence.
Flies, like washing hanging on the line.
Kids, kicks, push, and cheats.
Sweats falling down.
The other team won.
Dumb.

by FraGab

10 seconds on the clock
people praying for the shot
zoom past my team mates
heading for the goal
look at the clock
6 seconds left
try to shoot
the ball balances on edge of the hoop
wobbles
leans
wavers on the side
                          people screaming for the shot to happen                          
look at the ball
wait for the shot
people start to crowd each other
jumping up and down.
look at the clock
2 seconds left
the ball shakes even more with the crowd 
falling straight through the hoop!   

by GerKaz


Heart pumping in my body,
holding a stick in my warm comfortable
sweating hands.
stands
silence
balance
bowl
Play it coy
friends cherring to me running.
My legs were nervous and
shocking.
When the game begins,
sweating from the HOT 
HOT sun.

And then  
               And then  
                              And then
Louder and louder 

WE WON THE GAME.

by AleLiz


Walking into the biggest, the largest stadium in the world 
but only in my eyes.
Theres only 20 seconds on the clock until its our turn on the court.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 as the whistle blows. 
We're on the court 
oh no 
crossing my fingers 
are we going 
to win our game?
5 mins into the game 
its 2 all on the score board                                
and another 2 mins has passed 
the time has gone fast our coach says. 
                   
I finally have the ball in my hand 
as I dribble it down the court 
I jump 
I shoot 
and I SCORE...

by MokMar


And then                                                                        I slowly stagger
and then                                                                        towards the pitch
he leaps.                                              Milford \/            grasping the bat...
everything seems to whizz past,                                    tightly
in slow motion.                                      _/-\_                in my right hand.
Arms out,                                                 [-_-]                I stand between the wickets               
legs stretched,                                         /||\                 and
the airborne red disguised missile       /  \                 the bowler...
zooming                                                                         I ready my kingston bat
down                                                                              giving the bowler a withering look
and down                                                                       He bowls
and down...                                                                    everything...
BOOM!                                                                          EXPLODES! 
Everything ends...                                                          Just kidding.
abruptly.                                                                          But
All our hopes                                                                  the red airborne missile...
lost.                                                                                 is back in action.
Crushed.                                                                         But this time
Destroyed,                                                                      it’s gonna do me a favour...
burnt down to the foundation.                                         Win.
Until...                                                                              SMACK!!
I feel a spark                                                                   Zooming out of the park
something                                                                       I take off...
in me                                                                               Running.
thrusting against my chest
the coach
puts me on.       
by FraOll


It was all up to me with only two 20s on the board.
There was only 5 seconds counting down.
Everyone was silent they didn’t make one sound.
Gently the ball did one drum i caught it.
I pushed my arms up.
My coach prays,
My forehead cries,
I wobble,
Breath,
Reach,
Push,
My face was begging.
The ball goes round
                                 and round
                  and round
    and then....
I smile the crowd goes wild.
I got the goal the other team frowns.

by TekPan

Feeling devastated 
mum kissed me good luck. 
Walking towards the game. 
Seeing friends cheering me on. 
Our team starts with the ball.
My legs start shivering the ball comes towards me.
The clock squeezed out with 10 seconds.
I catch the ball. 
Smiling, heart pumping so hard 
I shoot one second on the clock.
The ball goes in 
people screaming and cheering me on.
“Go Tania” 
Feeling proud of myself.
Home sweet home 
dreaming of being a basketball.

ANGER METAPHOR POEMS

Check out this AMAZING writing from these AMAZING Room 4 kids...
We have been learning about 'The Red Beast' in class and about metaphors. So we put them together and look what we can do...


Smashing feet hitting the ground
like I was running.
Big, loud voices like somebody was screaming
Out pops the beast
Kicking
Spitting
Trying to get his own way
Smash
Crash
Throwing things across the ground.

By GonMat
The heat
travels through your body
slowly and slowly 
it gets to the top.
You turn red
suddenly you explode with fire
bursting out of your red steaming body
            You sting people                
                           You scream and spit at them
Finally your RED BEAST 
is AWAKENED

by MukAah



You know that feeling
You're a bomb
ready to go off
you're just about to blow
something happens
you're a gonna

You get louder and louder
you're the loudest you have ever been
you reach the point
where you can't get any louder.

Suddenly...
screaming
hitting
kicking
spitting

Pure silence.

Everything pauses.

by TaiSat

A volcano squeezes
its fists a tight body of fire inside
can’t wait to explode
“caboooom”.
Fire bursting out
in the beautiful world.
People screaming
Volcano laughing
“ha ha ha”.

By TepMou

The best has come
Arisen from his slumber.
Hurting, scaring everyone in his path
All he sees is darkness,
All he feels is rage.
His eyes and ears squeeze into ants
His mouth a hurtful giant.
A set off bomb.
a missile he explodes.
The beast is gone.

by OveJac


A bear can get angry and can stop with bubble wrap and a drink
It destroys everything and it has a loud noisy sound.
It can be grumpy like hurt people 
and it has small eyes, small ears and a big mouth.
It can be a volcano, it's evil and hot and it says "hahahaha"
It can ruin a house and hurt people.

by CheAli


The Devil
rising from its lair 
raging
his flames across his face
Growing curious of what's around him
SMASH
CRASH
KICKING
YELLING
"untamed?"
Spreading
Swinging his hands
unaware of what he is doing
Destroying everything in his path
his flames burn down to room
getting darker
more silent
flames sinking
into the ground
the Devil is now sleeping
for not.

By MatEve

The Devil rising from
its home land...
The Nether.
Looking for pain to feed on,
and...
Rage bleeding with in his head.
Snapping furiously at its terrified victims,
eyes ripping out of their sockets.
Enough energy to power the earth.
All happens so swiftly...
The Devil falls into a deep sleep
Until is awakes...
Again.

by FraOll



The vampire has awakened
he is ready to bite
his big red eys are coloured like blood
scary sounds fill the room
Roar
Grrr
I dont know what to do
my heart pumping
as he gets closer closer
he starts to creep 
crawl
I hear footsteps
It's coming
Closer closer
Boo!

by AshSar

ANGER
It travels through your body as fast as it can go
Faster faster beating hard, until

the lid flips 
the volcano erupts
lava come flying out.

The Red Beast chaarges out and uses its mouth and its arms
for slapping, hitting, screaming and swearing

Until the Red best is trapped and has calmed down. 
by YouMic

Anger is like a snake that bites people.
Snakes grow bigger.
People are scared of snakes
When a snake bites you, the snakes thinks it is being funny
But for people, they think that it is not funny.

YouMIc the fabulous writer STRIKES AGAIN!!

This is a piece of writing that YouMic crafted for the Altrusa writing competition.  Unfortunately we missed the deadline, but simply had to share this amazing piece.

The theme was 'When I saw it my life changed forever..."


PETRA 
When I saw it my life changed forever.  This was the day I’d waited for, for so long.  Massive walls towered above me, orange and red cliffs glowing as we journeyed under them.  Wandering between steep sharp rocks like the blade of a knights sword.   And then, after what seemed like hours I turned the final corner.  There in front of me was a huge gigantic building.  Enormous columns, stunning statues shimmering orange in the afternoon sun.  Beautiful carvings and patterns from thousands of years ago.  Dust was in my face and mouth was dry but I didn’t care.  This was amazing.  In fact it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.  The magnificent Treasury of Petra.
