Over the last two weeks, year 5 have been studying the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes culminating in the writing of our own additional verses in the style of the poem. Below are some of our efforts.
The two ghostly lovers,
laughed and chattered
Bess, I should say, was
quite indeed flattered.
Together they rode across
the long, purple moor
Together they stayed with
hearts rich, but never poor
Together they rode – away
– away- away
And the story of the
ghostly lovers is still told today.

Tim the Ostler was disappointed when he heard the terrible
news.
But the
stingy soldiers the arrogant soldiers were grandly amused.
He was
looking at the lovely Bess everyday.
Every lonely
night, storming night and dark night.
His fierce
feelings were drowning and drifting away.
Amin 5S
Tim shattered when he saw his love lying dead.
Tim got mad with sliders and went to kill them dead.
Up ahead was king Georges
castle.
He got mad mad and mad
with anger.
He talked with anger. With the pistol in the solders hand .
Tim was scared and dazzled .

He watched him gallop off in the
distance, then turned his gaze to the room,
He looked up the casement with
impending sense of doom,
He ran with his power of love,
Running with every tear
drop,drop,drop
He wished he’d go with her
above
Saud 5S
When
Tim heard about Bess death he turned his gaze to the room.
He
looked up at the casement with impending sense of doom.
Tim’s
eyes started tiring all the way.
He
blew his first kiss, his second kiss and then his last kiss.
Tim
sadly toke the horses and galloped away.

The soldiers' took the highwayman's
body and threw it off the cliff
All the highwayman's clothes were
ripped and on the water it would drift
Tim the Ostler shouted out with glee
and was happier then ever.
But then one second later, one minute
later, one hour later.....
He found out Bess died he cried and
sniffed then never forgave his self ever.

There Tim the Ostler was outside of
King George’s palace
He told them his word to capture Bess
and drink her ale in a chalice
They heard once more what the Ostler
said
They were carefully listening,
listening, listening
Then they thought about her in their
head.
Andy 5S
Tim the selfish ostler told the fierce Red troop soldiers,
What he had heard
behind the highwayman’s shoulder,
They didn’t trust him but still went all the way,
Thinking the highwayman would come riding,
riding, riding,
Thinking
the highwayman would come riding to take Bess, his love, away.
