I was tidying up my papers
at the end of the school year
and found a remarkable poem,
written by a past pupil.
‘Voltemorte’ by Rory
If he was a sound…
he would be a snake hiss.
He is the colour grey.
He is thunder and lightening.
Splintered wood.
He is a poisoned cup.
He is a thorn bush.
He would be a dark, cruel,
Winter’s night, all year round!
Wow, I truly got the feeling that the character you were writing about is evil. I especially liked two descriptions, first the splintered wood symbolizing something broken and destroyed and secondly the winter’s night all the time- that really makes me think of no warmth or comfort. Exactly what a villain would be like.
Keep up the great poetry!

Thank you Mr Fox for your affirming comment
and your detailed review of our poem.
The poet himself, has great ability
and powers of expression.
We love writing poetry
and in many ways find it easier
and more fun than writing prose.
Thank you for the encouragement.
I love it and you were only in second class when you wrote it
Thanks Cian, I’m sure Rory appreciates your compliments.
Compliments encourage people
and help make the world go round.
Well done 🙂
