Some things to notice about this poem.
This poem was created by first building a list of seven ways to climb a tree and picking one to develop into a poem. We used lively verbs and then searched for words that sounded really good. We decided to set our poem out in a column to emphasise the falling and also to look like a tree trunk. :)
