POEMS

Food by Luke

A box of pizza,
A pie of lasagna,
A herd of steak,
A flock of cooked birds,
A stash of fish,
A swarm of chicken nuggets,
A roast of turkeys,
A fleet of chickens,
A cave of cooked bat wings,
A squadron of meatballs.

Animals by Amaïa

A murder of Crows,
An ink of octopi,
A mud of Pigs,
A flutter of Butterflies,
A buzz of Bees,
A sing of Tūis,
A meow of Cats,
A roar of Bears,
A howl of wolves,
A scale of Fish,
A jump of rabbits,
A scurry of squirrels,
A gill of sharks,
A slither of snakes,
A horn of Unicorns,
A flame of Dragons,
A eucalyptus of Koalas,
A gallop of horses.
