The Blue Sea

 

 The sea is blue

And the sand is hot

Seaweed all around us.

The taste of salt in my mouth.

All the surfers out to catch waves,

The life guards zoom out.

That’s why I love the beach.

Campfire

 

I’m out with my family at night. We are sitting around the camp fire telling jokes. Mum pulls out a bag of marshmallows and we all dive in. I grab one, squish it on a stick and hold it over the flames. When I pull it out it’s on fire. I quickly blow it out. The stars shine brightly as the red hot flames float up into the night sky. I go in for another marshmallow and they’re all gone. Then I throw some more wood on the fire and listen as it roars away. I snuggle up in my blanket. After an awesome night at the camp fire we throw a bucket of water on the fire and head home.

My Hut

 

Trees and bushes surround me; I am sitting in the middle of my hut which is enormous. The floor is made of dirt. On the way there, I walked over grass. I wish someone could be there with me. It is boring by myself. Just sitting there, all alone, I think to myself how much fun a friend would be.

Night Time

 

It’s as dark as space so I can’t see the trampoline or the grass from up in my tree house. The stars are bright lights up the sky. I look though the hole in the roof and it’s a lovely night. I can’t go to sleep on such a beautiful night. I say to myself, “What an amazing night - how can I go to sleep?”

Baby Azaria

 

The day I heard about her I jumped up with excitement. It was my new baby cousin Azaria. We drove the whole way to Christchurch to see her.  At our cousins, the Dodges, I saw baby Azaria in front of me. She was one of the cutest babies I’d ever seen. She was sitting on my knee. Her hair felt just like kittens’ fur. I kissed her on the forehead before we drove back home.
