Tower and Town, November 2019 (view the full edition)Three Short Descriptons Of The Natural WorldThe tree begged for mercy as the seasons passed. One by one they moved closer to winter. The bronze Autumn painted a picture, bringing joy to the once gloomy forest. The tree lived on its roots that swayed and wriggled across the floor. As the day passed, the sun's rays danced around the floor and got ready for another day. By Alfie Street (Year 7) The gentle waves stroked the island, the sun glaring. There was only the slow movement of trees swaying in the light breeze. The soft sand blew about the edge of the island. Clouds watched from above; the diverse shapes all with their own eyes. Gradually, the ocean waves slowed to a stop. There was no movement, everything lay still. Every palm tree watched this way and that, each one bored and waiting. Coconuts started to fall to the ground, one by one. by Thomas Norris (Year 7) The golden sand sat peacefully in the sun, listening to the gentle whistling of the waves as they tumbled against the shore. Gently, the inconspicuous clouds floated gracefully across the sky. Fish swam fast while their gills shimmered in the sparkling ocean. This was paradise. Until... Humans came along and created havoc on the beach. One by one, the grass was pulled out of the ground, birds were shooed away from nesting areas, people were taking over. The sand learned how to react to this destruction. Soon, sand was boiling and so it burned the feet of humans. The clouds retreated from this paradise so that the sun had room to burn human skin. It was time for revenge! by Lara Nasse (Year 7) Alfie Street, Thomas Norris, Lara Nasse |
