We were experimenting with metaphors and created these poems:
What is the Sky?
The sky is a blue paradise
High in the atmosphere
It is a desert of air
It is a long stretch of colour
It is a drop of blue ink
Across the clouds
It is the ocean’s mirror
Glowing in a dark room
By Heath McAra
What are the waves?
The waves are a child
Rushing to greet the sand.
They are a runner racing to the finish line.
They are rough bumps
In the deep blue carpet.
They are swirling confusion
They are big bullies
Beating up and smashing against the rocks.
By Hannah Paul
What is the Sun?
The sun is a shiny gold coin
From the finest treasure.
It is a lonely lemon in its tree
waiting to be picked.
It is a flower in a meadow
Too bright to look at.
It is pacman eating away
The stars as they come out.
It is a ball of fire
Racing across the sky.
By Sophie Hutcheson
