Kindness is Better Than Victory - Free Verse Poem

The last poem we've made this unit; free verse! We watched short videos, from which we got inspiration to write our poems. The video I got my inspiration was from "The North Wind and the Sun". Here it is...


Kindness is Better than Victory
Sun, smiling and sparkling
North wind, strong as rock
And cunning to the bone
They argued, argued and argued
North wind insisted he, the better
"I'll last through day and night!"
The sun set, disappearing
"I've won!" said wind to the moon
"Yes, you've won," said the moon
"However, although sun's not here
The sun lets me shine and comfort
The humans that try to sleep
Isn't that better
Than winning a simple game?"

Hope you liked it!
