Personification poem

Celeste has written a wonderful poem about the damage we are making to our environment. She has used personification so that the reader imagines how the world is feeling. We love her sophisticated vocabulary and imagery. Well done Celeste!

 

Diggers claw at the at-risk earth

Deforesters are ending trees’ mirth.

 

Skyscrapers jab at the vulnerable sky

Evil airplanes slink on by.

 

Cranes scratch and scrape at a worn-out cloud

Creating a hole in its earth-covering shroud.

 

Smokey fires make the sky grey

Icebergs melt, and float away.

 

Diggers claw at the at-risk earth

Deforesters are ending trees’ mirth.
