My Camp Ballad

 Kia Ora everyone!

Last week, we were learning about ballads. Ballads are a type of poem. The way Ms Wilton explained it, there are three stanzas and in each of those there was an AA, BB, A rhythm, so the first two rhyme, the second two have a different rhyme, and the last one has the same rhyming sound as the first two.

All our ballads were supposed to be about camp. I did three, but one is boring and one is inappropriate for my blog :D So this one will be about the orientating at camp!

Enjoy! <3


Ah, we’d found a spot, Zippy had been out staring

Soon the year seven girls came sneering

We were too loud, shut ups came from different voices

There were too many people, we had to rethink our choices

I could hear to the side, Tini swearing.


Alright, I’ve had enough, Sara shouted

For her, it was too crowded

She tried to move back, but there was a branch in the way

So she had to still, and just hope and pray

But with voices, she was still surrounded.


Soon lights shone through the distance

Our voices shut off and we tried to conceal our existence 

It came closer and closer, our hearts started to beat

Oh no, it was Pete

Us girls were quiet, pretending we didn’t see, being resistant
