Poetry

In Year 4 we have been writing poems using similes and metaphors.  Here is a poem we wrote together, we have used metaphors to describe an aeroplane.

Aeroplane

The aeroplane is swooping, gliding and magnificent,
Beautifully elegant in the air.
It's wings flap and turn.
It's glistening eyes search and sparkle
In the dark.
The aeroplane's body is plump,
It's feathers are colourful and smooth.
The chirping fills the calm air,
It's excitment travles quickly.

What do you think we have compared the aeroplane to?  What simile can you think of to describe an aeroplane?
