I remember poetry Cross Country

Today we went to cross country. I came 11th in the 10 year old race. When we got back I wrote this poem about it.

WALT write a write a piece of poetry that puts images in the reader's mind

That was Cross Country

Remember the butterflies flying around and around in your tummy as you waited tentatively for your race to start.

Remember the smell of the dust spraying and the ground vibrating fiercely as all the runners zoomed past you after just starting the race.

That was Cross Country

Remember the dry taste in your throat as you jogged slowly on the crumbly sand .

Remember seeing your friend panting and sweating beside you as you overtook them.

That was Cross Country

Remember the pain shooting through your leg as you humped swiftly over the hurdles.

Do you remember the sound of the tremendously loud shouting as you crossed the finish line panting for breath but still feeling very proud.
