Poetry Art - By Tara and Tayla

In room 10 we have been doing lots of reading, for one of our reading tasks we had to create a piece of art based on the poem 'If I go west from here'. It could be anything from a pop-up poster, to a beach in a box.

Our finished products

If I go west from here
surf into the sea's blue mine
each wave a coalface

If I go west from here
crossing the bar and on
to where the waves themselves are mountains

If I go west from here
beyond the lands shadow
beyond the black-backed gull

beyond even
the edge of breath

When I go west from here
travelling with all the travellers

you will see me in the seams of the sea

feel me
in the arms of the sun

know me
in the form
of every unfurling line.
