My Weekly Poem.

WALT read a poem and analyse the language features of a poem. This will help us think poetically so that we can write a similar poem to share with others.

Friends come and go,
But the future is something you will never know,
So lets stay close to the people who we love,
And never let them go like a flying dove,
When we are lost, or are feeling scared,
A friend is someone who is always there,
So thanks my friends who have stood by me,
And i will love you like a sister, for eternity.
