11. Mountain Journey Lovely luscious green mountains towering above me As I walk, the forest is gossiping around the edges Unsteadily strolling, we laugh with each other Branches breaking, birds chirping. At the top, the birds soar across the valley The mountain is covered by a thick white blanket Silent giant of Wales The children of Bentley West Primary School. Year 6
