Colour poems

BRIAR'S COLOR POEM!!!

Red is the colour of fire truck’s, apples, roses, hearts and Coca Cola cans.
Red is the sound of a siren and a school bell.
Red is the smell of strawberries and beautiful flowers.
Red feels soft and hot.
RED makes me feel loud and proud.
Red is the idea of riding in a fire truck and picking apples from a tree.
Red is the fireplace and Flanders Fields.

ANZAC Poems

Yellow is the colour of the sun shining on the soldiers faces.
Green is the colour of the grass underneath the soldiers feet.
Red is the colour of the poppies that grew over the great soldiers bodies.
Blue is the colour of oceans the soldiers sailed their battleships on.
Grey is the colour of the of the cloudy skies on the cold, wet nights.
Brown is colour of the steep mountains they had to walk up and down to fight for our country.
By Briar


ANZAC POEM
Red is the colour of the soldier’s blood coming from their wounds
Orange is the colour of the flames on the fire
Gray is the colour of the smoke in the sky
Blue is the colour of the sea
Yellow is the colour of the sand on the beach
By Callum


HANNAH’S       ANZAC       POEM
Green is the colour of the grass in the battle field.
Blue is the colour of the sky through the longest days.
Black is the colour of the sky through the longest nights.
Sliver is the colour of the medals that they won.
Red is the colour of the poppies in Flanders Field.

Gold is the colour of honorable medal for people who served our country

Red is the blood filling the trenches and the front lines and also the anzac poppy

Grey is the smoke coming from the fired artillery

Green is the soldiers jackets getting passed on to the families

Brown is the muddy boots the soldiers had at the war.
