Writing week 3 term 4 - The monster in the Pahurehure inlet.

It lurks in the mud, were the pukeko live. 

He stores his food under the board - walk were flax and austroderia grow. 

The monster in Pahurehure inlet is a creature that you could never imagine, he is a sneaky monster that never fails to suprise. 

The Pahurehure inlet is the perfect enviroment for our monster, mud squelching under his claws and tall, thick tussock to hide in. 

If you are lucky enough you might happen to see the monster hopping around in the muck, just don't make a sound, he does not enjoy having visitors.

Writing - At the end of the driveway by Tim Upperton and Abby/me

 At the end of the driveway, the world is silent.

At the end of the driveway, the world is spinning.

Kids frolick past trees and buzzing bees.

Kids wander by, their faces bright with joy.

In the wet and warm. 

Kids race to school. 

Inside their clothes their itching skins

Inside their skins the kids are growing

This girl is smiling, this boy is dialing numbers on his phone

Not yet seeing, not yet knowing. 

That's what gone is a new beginning,

That what begins is already growing

Fast then faster. 

Adults, with their wide grins. 

Bolting in all directions to adult places.
