Water Falls
Waterfall acrostic poem
Whooshing, pushing, gushing over rocks
Attacking every thing in sight
Thrashing, bashing, crushing rocks and things like that
Error, terror, hear the power
Recking, decking, pecking in and out of rocks
Faster, crashier, bashier all around the place
Arting, darting, carting all the rocks around
Looking, cooking, booking in and out like a meander
Lushing, sushing, mushing every-where
By Molly
Waterfall
Waterfalls have wonderful plunge pools
At the top it’s the hard rock
Terrifying plunges faster faster onto the rocks
Every day eroding the softest rocks.
Rocks – there’s too hard at top, too soft at the bottom
That’s a waterfall.
Ferocious water swash onto rocks below
At the bottom it is soft rock
Landing in plunge pool going fast away
Leaving the waterfall starting to calm.
By Craig, Penkridge Middle School
Waterfall
Gushing, splashing, falling waterfall
Toppling off the fall
Clashing in to the plunge pool
Deep and cold and strong
Tan away, it goes down it’s path meaning
Curving tight round the bend,
Flowing slowly
Tickling over pebbles
Splashing against the rocks
By Amy, Penkridge Middle School
Splashing Waterfall
The Waterfall is rushing, rolling,
tumbling, whizzing and then swishing
swiftly at the bottom.
Next the water is getting rougher
and tougher all you can hear is
it groaning, moaning, whimpering and
grumbling too.
Its still going on forever but ….
its night now its calming down
and at morning it will start all over again.
By Leah, Penkridge Middle School
Waterfall Power
The power of a
waterfall is
strong and fast,
cascading down
the whinstone
creating a
tremendous splash, the
strong water
disturbs the
soft shale rock in
the plunge pool
below, where it
turns into rapids
going faster
and slow. The
rapids go round
and round making loud
splashing sounds as
the river goes
up stream swirling
around.

Waterfall contrasts
Shale wears away
Then the whinstone collapses.
The water goes plunging down.
When it does that lots of times it forms a gorge.
The power of the waterfall is immense.
The river is flowing gently.
It does that every time the river comes to a waterfall

The waterfall journey
Waterfalls come down with power
and they are like a big tower
The noise is very loud
You have to shout
and no way is there any trout
The water starts to wear the shale away
The whinstone collapses
By the end of the day
It starts to make a really big gorge
And the whole process starts again
I hope this poem has not been lame
And l hope to see you again and agai

A peaceful waterfall?
A waterfall plunges down the cliff
Banging, crashing, amazing, a Gorge is formed
Whinstone and shale rapidly
Collapses
which turns to
a rocky bed
Powerful water a dramatic feature
Noisy very noisy
Then the river Flows on and o

Waterfalls
The waterfall comes down in a flash
And you can hear a noise splash
The whinstone rock breaks away
Because of shale rock this happens in a day
The rock falls down and forms a gorge
Then it starts over and over again.
The power is fantastic
The waterfall is loud
On top you must be able to see sensational clouds
The waterfall is marvellous
Waterfalls are cool
And also big or small
Have you heard the splash?
Have you heard the crash
