Salmon Poems
by Thomas, age 8

Slippery slimy salmon

Slippery slimy salmon
Slipping up sea ladders
Sliding across rocks
Slipping into the ocean
Sliding across silver waters
Swimming across the seven seas

Brave Brilliant Salmon

Brave brilliant salmon
Swimming rushing rapids
Climbing hells gate
Enduring harsh times

To reach the spawning grounds

Dashing darting tiny fry

Small tiny fry darting across the tank
Eating scraps of tiny food
Trying to hide from predators
And trying to survive

Small fry dashing darting across the tank
