Ralph's "Who Am I" poem

I live in the Jurassic Period and
I'm the King of the Dinosaurs.
I am long and I have banana-sized teeth.
In my teeth I have bacteria.
No one tries to challenge me
Because I AM THE KING!
Do you know who I am?

Rugby World Cup Acrostic Poem

Rugby players sliding on the mud getting dirty.
Ugly looking people getting tackled.
Getting cheered on by the crowd.
Being beaten by the players.
You are trying your best for the shiny cup.

WOW WHAT A TRY!!!
Our team the All Blacks are the best.
Rugby rules!
Lots of choking and punching.
Ducking under the big players.

Cutting through the holes.
Unique people passing.
Pro people scoring lots of tries.

At the weekend I found out my cousin from Blenheim is coming here.
I am excited to play with him because I have not seen him for a year.

How to Be a Dragon

A dragon
flies around at night
and looks for food.
He yells out fire when he’s angry.
stomps all night.
feels the wind
blowing into his cave
and onto him.
Sees the stars way
up in the sky.
Moon gleaming in his eyes.
Doesn’t like eating people or
fighting with his friends.
Stays up all night
and never cries like a
wussy baby.
And every time he looks for castle
to hunt all the people to eat.

By Rawiri
