Sounds of Silence

Primary 6/7 have been writing poems. Here are a few of their efforts.

 

 

 

Can you hear me think of

A spider in the grass?

Will you hear the cat eating it in a flash?

No, it is the sounds of silence.

 

Can you hear the

Eagle chasing prey?

Will you hear the

Rabbit hiding in his burrow?

No, it is the sounds of silence

 

Can you hear the

Butterfly fluttering in the air?

Will you hear the

Dragonfly flying over water?

No, it is the sounds of silence

 

Can you hear the

Worms under ground?

Will you hear the

Maggots eating their victims

No, it is the sound of silence

 

Can you hear the

Ants crawling about?

Will you hear the

Termites fighting?

No, it is the sounds of silence

Can you here me remembering:

A cat running around like it just doesn’t care?

And a spider up the tree!

Sitting there just for the day?

A snail sliding along with its big slimy ray?

A flower spurting all day, it just made me happy.

It just sat there and stared at me,

It made me very quiet

All day!?

I walked away but it never came!

I jut wondered why

It never followed me?

Oh no it never followed me!

The sky was grey,

The clouds were floating away,

It started to rain

What a shame!?

 

 

Can you hear the ants doddle along the floor? Squish!!

Or when stood on by a cat after it’s prey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you hear the Old Lady

Remembering things from long ago?

Or perhaps the butterfly

Flutter past the flowers?

Can you hear the boy

As he reads in the corner?

Does a flower make a sound

As it opens, slowly up?

Can you hear the

First signs of Autumn?

When the leaves turn crimson

Then fall off the tree?

Can you hear the spider

Climb quickly up its twine?

Or perhaps you can hear

The snail creep slowly along?

Can you hear the world go round

Making years go by?

Does a cat make a sound

As it creeps up on it’s prey?

Can you hear the snow falling

Making everything turn white?

Do the clouds make a sound

As they float across the sky?

Can you hear the pupils concentrate

As they finish off their poem?

Can you hear them listening

To the teacher, as he speaks?

Can you hear the girl miming

All her words she has to learn?

Does the lady make a sound

As she sits down on the bench?

No, these are the sounds of silence.

The Sound of Silence

Can you hear the cat crawling towards the prey

Maybe it is the mouse hiding in the long grass

Can you hear the worm shovelling the dirt and dust?

Mabe it is the spider catching a butterfly

Can you hear the grass growing trees dieing and children crying

Mabe it is the trees swaying sky fowling and clouds moving

Can you hear the dogs crwwling and sky moving?

Maybe it is the flowers growing

 

No! it is the sound of silence

Can you hear the sound

Of the footballer kicking the ball?

Can you hear the grass growing?

Can you hear the

Spider kill its prey?

Can you hear the

Worm squeal for help?

Can you hear the bird

Swooping down to its eggs?

Can you hear the

Ants sleeping?

Can you hear the

Cat purring?

Can you hear the cat about to pounce
on the mouse?
Or the spider spinning its web
in the attic?

Can you hear your nails growing
on your hand?
Or the eyes see
the sea?

Can you hear the Sun shining
on the earth?
Or the Moon glowing
in the sky?

NO
These and many more are the sounds of silence.

Do you hear that no because it’s the sound of silence.................

Can you hear me think? Can you hear my heartbeat? Can you hear me hide? (shhhh don’t give it away I am inside)

Do you hear me take a seat? Can you hear my smelly feet? Can you hear the grass grow?

Can you hear the cold snow fall?

Can you hear the flowers blossom in Spring?
 

Can you hear the man mime?
 

Can you hear the cheetah crouch upon it’s prey?

Can you hear the crowd give a mexican wave?

No! because it’s the sound of silence!

Do you hear the cat ?

Can you hear the cat ?
pouncing on its prey.

Can you hear a tweet?

Can you hear a fly?

Can you hear my mind?
while the sun has shined.
Can you hear a bee?
but can you see?

Can you hear a plant growing?

Can you hear a plant growing?
well I can hear you panting.

Can you hear a tiptoe?
well I can hear you skip though.
Can you hear a fly
under my thigh?

Can you hear my brain?
I guess not, but what a shame.
 

Can you hear me remembering.
The netball tournament on Tuesday?
Can you hear the bulbs growing?
Can you hear the time changing?

Can you hear me remembering
The cat pouncing on the mantle piece?
The butterfly flying for its prey?
Can you hear the snail walking along?

Can you hear me remembering
A spider crawling along the ground?
The butterfly flying for the spider?

Can you hear me remembering
lying in my bed?
Reading dolphins diaries?
then I fell asleep?

No, it’s the sounds of silence
