Crunch! The dried, brown and yellow leaves scrunched up. All the trees were covering me. As I walked deeper and deeper, it got darker and darker. The birds were chirping a beautiful melody. It was so relaxing! The roots of the tall trees were covering the floor like a big carpet, and the bushes were all spiky. The leaves of the trees were falling, and as they were falling they looked like butterflies dancing. Birds were flying through the gentle air. Suddenly, the trees' shadows looked like big scary monsters trying to eat me. As I walked deeper, I was scared to death. The wind was blowing so strong; I was freezing like an ice cube. Leaves were flying everywhere so fast. Trees were swishing all around me and it looked like they were aiming at me. I said to myself, "Run!"
By JiMin Choe Crunch! Snap! I could hear the leaves being crunched onto the solid dirt under my feet. The trees were towering over me like sky scrapers. Flip, flop, twirl. The yellow and brown crinkled leaves danced like ballerinas. Smooth, emerald green leaves swooped and swooshed. A fat kereru perched high on a branch. By Archie Shanahan Crunch! Crunch went the leaves under my feet. I could hear a choir of birds singing as me and my classmates walked through Lawson Reserve. I could taste the cold air in my mouth. Half way down we stopped under a tree as my teacher spotted a kereru. It was towering above us. It was as fat as an elephant. It looked like it might poop on my teachers head any second. There was a bad smell and I bet $40 that it was bird poop. The birds were chirping like wild now and it was like we were in a jungle. By Ben Fox Cold, chilly air brushed against my cheeks as I walked into a world of red, yellow, and brown. The crackly, brown leaves snapped to pieces as my feet stepped on them. The trees towered over me like giants huddling together. Sparrows flew from tree to tree like airplanes in the clouds. By Albie Larsen
