Here are some more examples of our poetry using the Slow Writing technique. Slow Writing uses a very strict writing structure, can you spot what these poems have in common?

The Flood by Dylan

Grabbing on, I hoped someone was out there.

I was petrified.

This was turture; I was determined to  carry on.

Will this mayhemm ever stop?

Slowely my life ebbs away.

Hunger hits me as fast as lightning

The water clings on to my clothes as I try to shake it off

My desperation by Ollie

Clinging on for dear life,

Fear engulfed me,

I was heartbroken; I still carried on,

Is this to much for me to bare?

Slowly, my life ebbed away,

Starvation hit me like a wild bush fire,

The water clung onto me.

MAYHEM! by Ben

Breathing heavily, I wondered if the flod would ever end.

Everything was lost.

I screamed; no one heard.

Will I survive this terrifying mayhem?

Quickly the water drags me under the raft.

I hung onto the rope like a monkey on a tree.

The dirty, horrible water was slowly swallowing me.
