This was the first school I visited on my tour and even though the poetry popped and crackled in the workshops (WOW! three workshops with about 75 children in each), I only posted one by Liam. I went back to my motel and fell asleep!
Here are some others that hooked me:
Kaitaia Cape
Black, white flag moves
brown kiwis hide away
the height of 100 ft
very far away.
Wayan
blue house creaking
green bright pollen grass smell
white and brown dogs barking
the sound echoes
the bright blue sky with
white bright clouds
drifting through the sky.
Cars rumming on the road
the sun slowly drifting through
the sky also
people walking, talking.
Xavier
Misty rain dropping
frosty outside walls
dew in the trees
aeroplanes zooming
freezing grass
water dripping
from cabbage tree leaves,
flax growing
from the rain,
flug lights
shining through
the windows.
Elise
People chanting, scores rising
light glows
balls rolling
down the oily alley
pins scattering
people smiling
teddy bears dropping
levers moving
buttons pushing
people playing games
winning noises
birthday singing.
Ricky
Sunny skies
and sandy beaches,
grassy hills
and moving creatures,
bright pink starfish
and big huge whales
clear blue sea
and dolphin tales.
Neve
Water waving
people bathing
sand swishing
fish wishing
kids digging
life guards grinning
workers singing
dogs barking
and walking.
Karis
A big wild pig
in deep green trees.
A big deep strong
stream rushing to me.
The trees waving
around because
of the strong wind.
Evan
Fridge
A big white box
filled with cold air
fruit veggie
freshly made juice
sitting n the shelf
four fat suasages
roasting on the plate
leftovers to share.
Wazza
Morning
Baby was snoring,
woke up
‘Get ready!’
yelling
still laying
not moving
eyes close again.
Cohen
