Hush, I stole them from the moon

Taking inspiration from 'Overheard On A Saltmarsh' by Harold Munro, children in Year 4 have been writing their own poetry. These poems have been written by Owen and Sophie using the line 'Hush, I stole them from the moon' as their stimulus.

• Hush I stole them from the moon
• The burning stars do not shine anymore
• Hush I stole them from the moon
• My hand sits in pain
• As I carry the burning stars away
• I stole them from the blue moon, the forest moon, the dark moon
• Hush I stole them from the moon
• The burning stars do not shine anymore
• Hush I stole them from the moon
• The moon that has been captured
• Hush I stole them from the moon!

By Owen

• The Moon
• Trees ripped, the moon split
• There was only a cry of pain
• Coming down the lane
• Hush I stole them from the moon
• A small voice from behind
• A strange spirit loomed
• From around the moon
• Humming an eerie tune
