Eels of the deep river - an enticing discovery


Last week - 27th of August- Room 4 went to the Hustler's home to see the longfin eels down at the river. There were a few huge eels down in their creek.  I even managed to feed one.
Well it did - accidentally - devour my stick. My highlight of the visit was how fascinating and big they were, way bigger than the ones I have at home! After the visit, all of us wrote about the longfin eels. We were allowed to do an instructional piece,  poem or even a recount. Here is my little poem that I created:

Snap

Soundlessly but graciously, 
Slithering in the chilly water of tranquility.

Distinctive petrichor scent of the soil, 
Eel emerges from the murkiness of the river. 

Elegant movement as its tail slightly coils, 

And… 

Splash! Slap! Chomp!
