The moon was
howling,
In the dark
spooky trees
And the wind
was whistling,
In the rusty
dried leaves
And the
spectre of the Highwayman,
Came riding-
riding- riding
Up to the
rusty inn- door,
And still
they say that Bess and the Highwayman
Go out with
each other.
Tim the
ostler listened- listened-listened
Till his
face grew red,
He loved the
landlords daughter
Landlords
black eyed daughter,
And he
vanished behind the shed like a ghost
And the
Highwayman did too.
Here came
king Georges men,
Marching –
marching-marching up to the rusty inn-door
They yelled
and drank until they came too poor frightened Bess.
The line,'And he vanished behind the shed like a ghost' is a fantastic line because you can really feel that it is a spooky poem. Another thing I liked is how you said the dark trees. You can improve that the first line does not make much sense

I liked the rhymes but you could've put more
ReplyDeletewriting at the end.
I like how you used the description of the rusty,dried leaves.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you wrote that Tim the osler listened-listened-listened.
You could write more rhymes and a simile.
