YEAR 7 POEMS

Here is a selection of some fabulous poems written about sweets by Year 7 students.

A golden explorer

Travelling the barren lands

Of the tastebud Arctic

The nostalgic scent

Of cloying sugar and Halloween

Fills the palate

The sensation

Of rough, ridged surfaces

And malleable bodies

Artificial bursts of bananas

Crumples in vulnerable heaps

Of sticky goo

A foamy crinkle

A zesty POP

A squishy squash

With sugar on top!

Written by Ford Mills

Dark brown

Looks like a fish

Hard yet smooth

Chocolaty and a

Sweet smell

It's hard and

Smooth springy yet

Vulnerable

It tastes like

Biting

Into sunshine

It cracks when

You bite into

Them

Written by: Aidan De Jong

"My Darling"

My Darling, carrot top,

Looking smooth with imperfections,

A duck foot you were thought of,

But now knowledge flies.

My Darling bright and sweet,

You dance across my nose,

With memories of flight.

Childhood.

Soft and smooth,

Haircuts in a van,

Free and moldable,

Your springy energy,

My Darling.

Orange, chewy, jelly-like,

My Darling, oh, your warmth,

Citrus first, pasta last,

Sticky flight.

My Darling, take flight,

Glide quietly across,

A forest filled range,

My Darling, the moon wanes to you,

My Darling, Jet Plane.

Lime Sweet Fruits

Mint Green,

Tiny specks of white

dust spreads across

the curved human-like

ball.

Lime-sweet,

fruit reminds me of

my childhood

parties.

Rough, bumpy

edges,

it bends

in my grasp.

It's a rough

sharp sandpaper

sheet in my

smooth hands.

Sweet fruity

flavour melts on

my drooling

tongue.

It dances

on my tastebuds,

making me

crave more.

Tiny sweet

crunches melt

in my mouth.

Lime sweet Eskimos.

Written by Indee Briggs

Streamlined

Appearing elegant

as a swan

Looking

as streamlined

as a jet

Having the aroma

of a bitter-sweet

lime

Smooth

as red-velvet

Squirming

and dissolving

on my tongue

Whooshing

as it

whizzes

through the air

Written by: Charlie Cave

Streamlined

A streamlined

craft.

A powerful

force.

Like lemonade

on a hot day.

A peaceful

moment.

Smooth as

velvet.

It’s gummy,

Chewy

and soft!

Flying around my mouth.

Crack!

A drum beat signals the end of its journey.
