Superb Snippets

Hi there kids
Sometimes when reading your writing, I'm moved beyond belief by the simple honesty and beauty of it. I also think it should be shared with the whole world so... look out world, meet Room 5's authors!

This week's superb snippets belong to Megan and Terry-Jack.

“Hi Nolan,
How’s things? The rain’s torturing us! Shaun said he hopes it didn’t wipe-out the mushrooms...”

(An extract from Terry-Jack's letter to Nolan, our previous caretaker.)

This stunning snippet belongs to Megan
“… and the only sound is the tumble of the seashore at midnight, when the fun starts.”

More Haunted House Poems

The Haunted house

In the bedroom is. . .
A dusty skeleton with only four toes
A scary vampire with blood on his fangs
A huge ghost under the bed
And smelly possums hanging in the window
And the only sound is the freaky scratching of the rats.

By Ariel

The Haunted house

In the bedroom there is…
a bone for a phone that doesn’t ring
a stained wall with patchy wallpaper
a dark wardrobe that is open
and the only sound you hear is
the crackling sound of a tree branch hitting the window.

By Kaela


The Haunted House


In the cellar is…
a sack of bones with a skull hanging out
a tin can with rusted tools
a rusted bike with no wheels
a sharp-toothed cat with three legs
and the only sound is the
wind blowing the doors.
Ccccrrrreeeekkkk.

Haunted Houses

We've been writing poems. The topic was THE HAUNTED HOUSE.



The Haunted House

In the attic is
a broken window with sharp points
a broken chair with sticky cobwebs
a sharp blade with no handle

In the basement is
a hanging skeleton with no legs
a rusty dish with holes in it
a dead rat with blood comming
out of it.
and the only sound
is the howl of a wild wolf crying.
By Daniel

The Haunted House

In the bedroom is
a sharp blade with no handle.
In the living room is
a squeaky floor with green
slimy stuff
and the only sound is
the sound of the fierce wolf.
By Codie

The Haunted House

In the attic is
a tin trunk with holes in it
a hanging skeleton with green hair
a big slimy ghost
a dusty sack with holes in it
a rusted bike with no wheels
and the only sound is
the sound of the scary wind
oooooooooooooowww
By Jack

The Haunted House

In the Secret Laboratory is
a sack of bones with spider webs
a short plank of wood with splinters
an old skeleton with rusty and dusty bones
and the only sound is
the talking of a nasty ghost.
By Jade Morgan


THE HAUNTED HOUSE
In the cellar is
a diary with ripped out pages
a rusted metal pipe with rusted knives inside
a dusty sofa full of skeletons with no heads and missing feet and toes
a chest full of bones and lots of large cobwebs inside
and the only sound is
creaking doors waving forwards and backwards by wind
blowing through the smashed windows.
By Jayden


The Haunted House

Downstairs there is
a broken skull in the darkness
a flying bat dark and frightening
a dead rat smelling like an old bike
a rusty sword hanging from the walls
and the only sound is
the rustle of the leaves.
By Jordan Carswell

The Haunted House.

In the kitchen is...
a bendy knife with a sharp
blade on the floor,
a sharp fork with spiky tips
poking up,
a hot pan full of scraps with flies
around it,
a burning stove almost ready to burst
into flames,
and the only sound is the tumble of the
sea shore at midnight, when the fun starts.
By Megan

The Haunted House

In the secret laboratory is
a fierce wolf with sharp teeth
a dangerous spider with sharp teeth
a scary monster ready to attack.
and the only sound is
the owl howling his howling.

By Noah

The Haunted House

a big wardrobe full of vampires
a set of drawers full of dust
a flapping bat full of fear in its eyes
an old bed with a ripped pillow

the sound of screeching cats.

By Saskia

The Haunted House
In the bedroom is...
a creepy vampire walking around
a scary spider in a sticky cobweb
a flying bat hanging on a tree
an old skeleton on the floor
and the only sound is creaking of doors.
In the kitchen is...
a bloody bone on the bench
a smelly fork in the drawers
a stinky vampire with sharp teeth
a rotten mouse lying on the floor
and the only sound is sharp knifes rattling.

By Taryn

The Haunted House
In the basement is
a large rat crawling along the ground
a sharp knife flying through the air
a rotten bat lying upon the ground
a hanging skeleton on the wall
a ghost coming from in the door
a howling wolf with fierce jaws
a spider climbing to its gigantic web
a blood thirsty cat prowls around
and the only sound is
the screams of the dead.

The Haunted House
In hallway is
a big ghost with a rotten jacket
a big bat with a broken wing
a broken piano with a zombie looking for food
and the only sound
is a squeaky floor making a loud noise.
By Tristan
