More poems written after the earthquake

Children of Christchurch

I am a child

I am all I see

Liquefaction bubbling up

Families apart

People wanting to go home

I am all I hear

Piercing screams

Rumble of the earth

I am all I feel

Sad, alone, not so many children in the class

Sand, liquefaction between my toes

Shake, shake, then settling down

I am all I smell

Sewerage running through the drains

Dust floating in the air

I am all I taste

Salty tears

Bread and butter was all we had

I am all I remember

Mum’s tearful eyes

Dad’s smoky search and rescue overalls

I am all I think

Sorry for all those who have lost their family members

No power and water for a long time

I am a child of Christchurch

Amy

Children of Christchurch

I am a child

I am all I see

Bricks falling from the church

Cracks in the road

I am all I hear

Crying and screaming

Diggers and trucks

Rattle of the windows

I am all I smell

Hand sanitiser

Chlorine in the water

I am all I taste

Chlorine

Jelly that I ate at Grandma’s

I am all I feel

After shocks

Bumps in the road

I am all I remember

My friends and I crying

Having no power and water

I am all I think

“Is it over?”

How long will it take to fix Christchurch?

I am a child of Christchurch

Bella

I am all I see

Destroyed buildings

Liquefaction on the ground

I am all I hear

Cars alarms going off

The words – IT’S OKAY

I am all I feel

Gravel on the road

Cracks on the ground

I am all I smell

The raw sewerage

Hand sanitiser

I am all I taste

Yummy vanilla ice cream

My Mum’s delicious birthday cake

I am all I remember

School shaking

Church exploding

I am all I think

Good books I have to read

Fun computers

I am a child of Christchurch

Blair

Children of Christchurch

I am a child

I am all I see

Buildings collapsed

Bricks from the church on the ground

I am all I hear

Crash of things falling

Rattle of aftershocks

I am all I feel

Ground shaking

Rumbling aftershocks

I am all I smell

Chlorine out of the taps

Hand sanitiser

I am all I taste

Barbequed food for 2 weeks

Ice blocks

I am all I remember

Being scared

Shaking aftershocks

I am all I think

Mum and Dad being safe

Earthquakes

I am a child of Christchurch

Brianna

Poem written after the earthquake

Children of Christchurch

I am a child

I am all I see

Crack in the Grand Plaza

Buildings that have moved

I am all I hear

People crying

People laughing

I am all I feel

Ground opening up

Pain for those who died

I am all I smell

Sewerage

Dirt in the air

I am all I taste

Liquefaction

Sausages for tea

I am all I remember

Crying

On the floor in the cloakbay

I am all I think

My house is munted

Living somewhere else

I am a child of Christchurch

Welcome to our blog

Welcome to Room 2's blog. We have been in an earthquake, it was a 6.3. Some of us were scared.

Some of us were crying and there were lots of aftershocks. Mums and dads came and picked us up.
