Class: Year 4 Year: 2016 - 2017

Year 4's poetry inspired by the list poem, 'I come from...' by Robert Seatter

I come from…

(verses taken from some of the children’s poems)

I come from Chester, a busy city

Full of people

Friends and foes

Dotted around like landmarks on a map

Each leading different lives in different way

I come from the smell of cookies baking

The sweet scent wafting through the kitchen door

As the cookies turn golden and crisp

While the oven heats up

I come from the joy of finishing an amazing book

Silently reading somewhere in a corner

As the words come to life

And I get lost in worlds of my own…

I come from Florida full of adventure and magic

Where all your dreams come true

A swimming pool for a back garden

A theme park

Two water parks

Ice cream for breakfast…

Roller coasters everyday

Waves so powerful, they could knock you out

I come from part Scottish and part English

And wearing my first kilt at a wedding…

I come from a loving, fantastic family

Who love getting muddy and dirty

Going for walks with the dog

And getting sprayed by him

I come from hot holidays in Spain

And yummy, sugary doughnuts on the beach

I come from water fights with my sisters

And the smell of the roast dinner on Christmas Eve

I come from Trick or Treating around the streets on Halloween

And getting up early on Easter morning

Looking around for Easter eggs

I come from giggling and kindness

And spending time with my family

On special occasions

I come from popcorn and the cinema

Candy floss, the colour of the rainbow

Melting in my mouth…

I come from the library

And books scattered in a messy pile

Beside my desk
