From the Poet's notebook

As the poet, my job is to take a piece of writing from the book and turn it into a poem.

Ice Cold Stormy Night

The sky was as black as the deepest, darkest ocean on a cold winters night.
The rain was as cold as ice, as it fled across the field.
The wind was as strong as the mightiest sea.
As we walked down the path, it roared and rumbled continuously,
until we knew we were home.
Safe.

I got this from page: 129 … The sky was almost black when he and Tom stepped outside. A strong wind tore through the trees whipping the braches fiercely to one side while the rain swept across their faces. Tom put up the umbrella.

From the Poet's notebook

As the Poet, I tried to write some lines related to the events and ideas in the book. I tried to used in these lines of poetry because we have been learning about them.

The grave beside Tom’s house was as quiet as the road in the very early mornings. (pg.14)

The small stone angel’s letters in the grave was as faded as the tip of a mountain of a cold winter’s day. (pg.15)

Young Willie was as quiet as the morning breeze just outside your window on a early winter’s day . (pg.1 )

Old Tom Oakley had a accent as strong as the countryside people who lives in farm and meadows.
(all pages where Tom talks)
