Visiting Eels

After lunch or Tuesday Mrs Bennett, Mrs Gault and all of the students from Rm 4, went to the Hustlers to feed and observe some Longfin Eels. 
When we came back from feeding the eels we wrote about the Longfin Eels, I wrote a poem. 
Here is my poem :

Silently searching in the murky waters below, 
Are a group of hungry eels swiftly swimming aside the earth banks,
Gulp! They have had their feed, 
back to the silty mud tunnels they go.

Teasing the eels, 
Urging them to come closer, 
 as the eels reveal themselves from underneath,
Sees us weird creatures, 
And disappears once again back to it’s peaceful home.

Swimming along the moist earth banks,
 covered with rocks, overhanging trees and lush harakeke,
Are eels tugging on tender meat.

Quietly lurking beneath the bitter waters, 
Hunting for precious food,
Snap! Delicious!

Prowling beneath peaceful waters,
Eels slithering from underneath,
Tangled together,
Fighting for the meat.
