Year 5 and 6 Fire Poems

Children in Miss Thompson's class have been writing poems about the Great Fire of London.

THE FIRE

 
The fire has woken with a flash,
Destroyed baker's shop
There is nothing left but only ash.
 
Angrily hopping from roof to roof,
Waking up all of the sleeping houses,
London has woken up from a roar.
 
The vicious arms alert London,
A the people scatter away,
Sprinting past the as the lion chases them,
 
Water will not stop it,
As they loudly shout for more,
The air pushing the blazing fire away,
Its getting faster and faster from house to house,
 
It finally stops at Smithfield,
As everyone's cheering,
While the fires sadly going away,
Now there's nothing left of him
 
By Luke

London Fire.

The fire wakes up; freedom at last,
As he happily jumps around the baker's shop.
 
He jumps and hops around the roof tops,
People running like leopards from the blazing hot
fire.
 
He cheerfully comes around the street licking up everything in his path,
But as the fire dies out,
The dark smoky ash lies softly over what left of the city of London.

London's Burning

That wakes up and jumps out.
Eating anything that stands in its way,
It leaps on the next sleeping house.
 
"You can't run" he booms with his deep voice,
London is a bright.
Red and yellow you can see for miles,
Now London is a sizzling ash.
 
But when he is very angry,
He can leap out and give you a scare.
He settles down when he has his dinner,
And then, lights out.

By Jane

 
THE FIRE OF LONDON
The beast wakes up and bursts out of the red hot oven
and releases his deadly toxic gas.
at 1pm the fire is hideously destroying houses by the second
down they go in to ash crackling and still blowing up wood everywhere.
 
After a day London was obliterated by the second
it was dying by water
but on day 5 then 13 hours into the day he died.
 
By Declan

The Fire of London

 

 

The fire starts in a baker's shop,
Then suddenly jumps to life,
It burns the door down,
Then stretches his arms across the whole of London.
 
Scorching houses like a desert,
Demolishing London as quick as a flash,
He is being angry like a beast.
 
His arms coming towards you then destroying everything in his path,
Finally he starts to die,
Then he dies.
