Show - Not Tell

The Forest

Gloomy trees surround me as I slowly wonder through the dark forest.  Shadows circle me as I tremble in horror.  Tall trees bend over the mssive path as it gets darker and darker.  My teeth grit and shivers go down my spine as my terrified body takes another step.

Poetry

Me
I am friendly and creative
I wonder how the earth formed
I hear dragons breathing fire
I see the world collapsing on top of me
I want a flying horse
I am friendly and creative

I pretend to gallop on a pony
I feel sad when I think about my dead dog
I touch a fantail's first feather
I worry how long the earth will last
I cry when my dad leaves Wanaka
I am friendly and creative

I understand that school helps us learn
I say, "Let's play on the playground."
I dream about what will happen to me when I am older
I try to finish my school work on time
I hope that my life lasts a long time
I am friendly and creative
