Eight year old Ronan Redmond has written an acrostic poem and a limerick.

AN ACROSTIC WEEKEND by Ronan Redmond.

Footy is always a very fun sport,

On weekends you always have to be a good sport.

On Sunday, I like to call it a fun day!

Tackling is very dangerous,

Your footy teams have all been to the finals once!

DON’T LOSE YOUR THONG IN GEELONG by Ronan Redmond

There was once a man from Geelong,

Who wore out his size-10 thong.

His feet were bare,

But he didn’t care,

He walked all the way to Hong Kong.

Three Trips Down the River

 

I  – A  Bed Time Story

Rainforest children fall

Into green dreams

Visions

Embracing nature’s eyes

Releasing their love for salmon.

 

II-  Night Time Wishing

Releasing time

In my heart for

Visions of night fishing with Poppy

Evenings of searching for the perfect spot

Remembering our smiles at my first catch.

 

III –  The Franklin

Revealing wild rivers

In the journeys they inspire

Visions for tourist and visitors

Entranced by nature’s eyes

Recipes are made for protective renewal.

RIVER

 

Running to school one cold wet day

Into dreams of escape and running away

Visiting islands full of sea and sun

Enjoying swimming and lots of fun

Returned to reality dark and grey.

 

Required homework not done yet

Idiot me never a teacher’s pet

Very hard to get past this disaster

Explaining why I can’t work faster

Rewriting forever the homework set.
