New Looks creative writing workshop

Group poem – created by families visiting the exhibition

In the dark of a stormy night,
Waves crashing against the side of the ship, until suddenly,
The lighthouse came into view, pulling in its rocky wake the land.
Lighthouse keepers climbing the winding staircase,
Listening to the echoes of the waves smashing off the rocks below,
Boats rocking against the rocks and waves consuming inside the caves,
Lighthouses are like churches.

Acrostic poem – also created as a group by visiting families:

Lighting up at night to help the boats,
Into the black waves it shines,
Gigantic light,
Huge waves crashing below.
The twinkling warns the captain –
Holding steady, holding steady,
Over the height of the sky they go.
Under dangerous circumstances, the lighthouse saves the day,
Shining light seen afar,
Every night it helps boats.
