Autumn Time 27/4/10 Walt:Use metaphors and similes in a poem or story. It Glowed as luminous as the sun. Laying in a meadow of peace. The leaves were as beautiful as love.<3 Bathing in a pond of happiness. This place, it’s as pleasant as heaven. Ground covered in bronze medals. Trees as enormous as elephants. By Eleanor Healy.

SEA SALT I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! Zoe and I are going to my batch out at Nagwi for the holiday. It’s about two hours out says, Dad. Zoe and I are going to have so much fun, not on the way there though, with Mums fantastic singing along to Susan Boyle.

I’m so glad that that’s over!!! Zoe and I get our own room in the batch and go to sleep straight away but there was only one problem. We couldn’t!!! This is really annoying Squawking noise it sound like a really retarded hawk.

So Zoe and I were checking outside to see what it was it was a hurt hawk so we got dad because he would know what to do I call out “DAAAAAAAD”, so he comes out and he says “Amy He’ll be okay it’s nature they always sort it out”. But I just had this feeling that he wasn’t going to make it so I go ask Mum and she says “Amy you’ll catch a disease”. So my plan... is to keep him in the garage, Zoe and I will look after him and we will call him Sea Salt. We both think his wing is hurt so we go down to fetch some bait that the fishermen have thrown out to the bird were going to snatch them before the other birds do.

Luckily it has been a club day, we got plenty of fish for Sea Salt. Zoe and I are refusing to go on the boat, my dad is getting a bit suspicious, I really hope that Sea Salt will be Okay!!!

It has been three weeks now, it’s time to let Sea Salt go now. Were trying to get out without mum and dad catching us, but they do and then, they really knew how much I cared, about this one bird, and that I really felt like Sea salt was my own child but you always have to let them go.

Zoe, Mum and Dad all came and stood by me when Sea Salt was ready to go as I watched Sea Salt going flying above the ocean in the sunset his claws skimming across the water. I quietly whispered to myself “Sea Salt I’ll never forget you”. Eleanor
