L achlan Chen, Year 9

Of Weather and Scho ol If I were to describe a day at school I’d call it unexpected, unique and erratic A familiar experience to Melbourne weather The forecast tells tall tales glorifying The patters of rain and gusts of wind Or a lucky day, clear sky at twenty-six Mostly wrong, misleading information Always differing to reality Politics and weather, polls and forecasts – perhaps a familiarity? Sometimes with violent and turning winds Or awful flooding downpour Worse still extreme heat, pollution, humidity

Et h an Or r - Year 9

But when night falls, the day is lost in memory, for Under the umbrella or bunkering in bed and hidden at home Is familiar space, love, warmth and shelter
