Narrative Poems

Butterflies

I was ready!
Well I thought I was
I got butterflies in my stomach
And I suddenly got dizzy
I had to sit down
It was drawing closer and closer
Everybody was doing so well
I thought I would mess up
But my Mam told me to go for it
So I did
I was really happy at where I came
The advice really worked!

 Going to my Uncles House
Me and Daddy went to my uncle’s farm
One Saturday morning
At 9 o clock.

He has horses.

We had to clean out stables.

The dumper truck is very dangerous
So I listened to my uncle.
We put the horses’ dirt into the dumper truck
Carefully.

The Advice

Before the match
I was wallowing in tears
My father came into the room

He asked  

Whats wrong?

And I said
I feel I’m not good enough to start
He said if you try and believe…
I felt better after that.

The Good Advice 
When I was having a problem
Jumping my horse,
I didn’t know what to do,

My dad was watching me

So I rode over to him
And asked him what to do.

He told me to squeeze with my legs

And to hold on to the mane.
And the next time round, I made it!
 
I got off my horse and patted her.
I brought her in for a treat,
I was very proud of her.

It was good advice.

The Night Before Training

One day

It was March

It was the night before training.

I was scared

It was my first night of traning

I was scared of hitting a sliotar

Then mammy gave me some advice

I felt confident

Then I went traning

I had a fun time

I wasn’t scared any more

It was better that way too.

Tidy, Tidy, Tidy

It was a nice Tuesday morning

I had to tidy my room,

But of course I didn’t want to.

So Mammy told me,

Not to put everything under my bed

And to put everything where it belongs.

So I did

And it didn’t take as long as I thought,

It was quicker than stuffing everything under my bed.

So I said

“Thank you Mammy

The advice you gave me really worked”.

Piano Trouble

One night when I was in my room,

I started to play my piano,

I played all my songs...

But one

It was the hardest song I had.

Mammy came in and told me

‘If I stay at the song I would like it.’

I thought it would not work,                                   

But I still tried it,

When I started it I thought I would never like it,

But now it is my favourite song.
