Moment in time (draft copy)

A Moment in Time Writing


A canopy with different shades of green covering the over layer of the forest, with slight peaks of sunlight gleaming through the gaps. Almond colour wood stumps overlayed with green rotten moss spreading all the way up the trees and covering the teak brown branches. Birds chirping and singing beautiful high pitch melodies as they wave and swoop there colourful wings about.

The smell of the fresh, light air whiffs into the nostrils of everyone's noses. The smell of the subtle wind surrounding the forests delicately mixes with the scent of pine and rotten wood. Bent branches creating and blocking paths. Wind blowing the leaves off the trees and as they slowly fall, the calm flowing river catches them.

Massive Kauri trees standing tall in the mid air, surrounded by beautiful patterned ferns that slowly unfold every now and then. A vast blanket of mists smothers the forest obstructing the sight of animals and insects that are creeping in the forest.


Last week in Te Ngahere we were writing descriptive poems about the forest. Our WALT was to use present tense verbs and have descriptive language. I really enjoyed writing about the forest because I think I described it really well using all my senses and I explained everything that was happening very emotively. Next time I think I could work on getting a lot more done because I had a while to finish it and it still needs fixing up. This is my draft copy.
