The Beautiful Praying Mantis

The beautiful Praying Mantis is as green as a leaf,

It is as magnificent as a majestic bird,

It’s brown and green egg sack ready to burst,

The body camouflages into its surroundings so predators can’t see it,

Its alien head is shaped like a triangle,

It hypnotises its innocent prey and attacks

Remembering Summer Holidays

Back at school...

my feet remember running through the fresh,grassy fields
my legs remember splashing throgh the big,blue waves
my body remembers laying back on the hammock and relaxing
my arms remember swinging balls for the dog
my hands remember picking beautiful blood-red roses
my face remembers the hot rays of the sun screaming at me
my mind remembers that summer with be back soon

The Karearea

The Karearea is a feisty hunter, standing tall with  pride,

The king of the forest.

The Karearea’s wings beat wildly in the wind as it swoops down like a roller coaster

Spying on its innocent prey.

Its feathers, rich brown like chocolate, soft like a furry pillow.

It scans with eager, beady eyes, searching, desperate to find food.

Its cry, shrill like a WW2 air raid siren

Bounces off trees and mountains, to forests to cameras

Of scientists.
