WINTER POEM
Frozen white grass crunches underneath my shoes.

Cold air tickles my cherry red nose.

Ice crystals cover curled up leaves.

Steam rushes out of my almost closed mouth.

The sun creeps over the ice covered roof top, and slowly melts the frozen white grass.

Cold water drips off the bare brown tree.

Blue sky's surrounds me.

Last week I went to Australia in an Air New Zealand plane we went there for my uncle Conor's wedding.  He is my mothers youngest brother.  My family stayed at Geelong river view camp site for 6 days.  Each family had a cabin and my cousin had driven 10 hours from Sydney with a fold out tent/trailer.  It was like a street party all the time as we played cricket with my uncles and cousins, on the campground driveway.  The wedding was on Saturday at 4 o'clock, but we spent most of the day getting ready.  I wore a grey top, waist coat and some pin striped trousers to the Botanical gardens.   After the wedding we all went to the reception and my dad was the MC ( master of ceremonies ) I had a great time and on the way back to new Zealand we went on Virgin Australia.  I had a ball :) 

On the 12th of February I went down to Wellington to swim for Waikato and my
club,  (Cambridge Swimming Club.) I qualified for  50, 100 and 200 metres freestyle. I am now the 18th fastest 11 yer-old in New Zealand for 100m freestyle and 28th fastest in New Zealand for 200 metres freestyle, but I am also the 2nd fastest in the Waikato for 100 metre freestyle.
