Poetry from team Pumba!

Simba

Crouching, crawling and creeping towards his prey,
Inside the brown reeds and beige dust,
Every step closer and closer,
Wait!
Watch!
Listen!

He has been spotted and the race begins,
The sheer pace of this incredible beast,
The muscle in the hind legs bulging constantly,
The grin of a clown, with teeth of icicles

Bit by bit,
Slowly but surely, edging closer with every stride,
Until the final leap,
The mane seeped in blood,
And the zebra’s legs torn clean off

Until the rest of the family get closer,
Nothing but voltures over head,
And flies buzzing,
Until the Roar of the African King!

By Alfie


The Snake

Here comes the Snake
Slithering by the lake

He spends all day
Looking for prey

Searching all night
To catch a bite

Rodent Birds Small Deer and Frogs
They even eat Termites from under logs


By Bethany


The zebras

Zebra’s hooves sound like clicking whilst running through the golden grass.
Elegantly they walk through the cool blue water.
Beautifully the fillies bat there big long eye lashes to the world.
Racing down the dusty desert to find a cold clean lake.
After waiting for the grass to grow they can finally eat some fresh new food.
Seeing the stripy animals in the sunset makes a better scene.

By Tavia


The Lioness

As she creeps and crawls through the long grass towards
the water hole, wait, Look, Listen, silently walks a few paces forwards closer, closer mouth dripping with hunger
getting closer suddenly pounces on her prey
the zebra is unlucky as it rots in the dusty plains of Africa.

By Oliver


Elephant

Eating away at the tall green trees
Leisurely swinging his trunk to and throw
Eager to make it back home safely
Plodding slowly through dirty plains
Heat from the sun beaming down on his rough skin
Alert all the time for oncoming predators
Never letting his calf out of sight
Tusks glistening white like crystals

By Gemma
