This week Miss O'Neil gave us the task of writing a poem about a magic box. This is my magic box and what I would put into it.
Magic Box Poem
_____________
I will put into my box
3 jumping jelly beans,
The dancing flame of a candle
And the silent room of a sleeping baby.
I will put into my box
The smell of my kuia’s fried bread,
The shiny sun beams,
And 100 moving rugby balls.
I will put into my box
Grass from my homeland,
All of the nrl teams,
And The sound of a giant waterfall crashing onto the rocks below.
I will put into my box
A 13th month,
A 5th season with the swish of a silk sari on a summer night,
And an 8th day.
My box is fashioned with gold and moon rocks,
A pounamu lid as heavy as an elephant,
And a magical unicorn’s knee joint for a hinge,
I shall play for the All Blacks in my box,
Then stumble upon a glowing land and meet people of the past.
I wonder what I would do with an eighth day? I think I would like an extra day at school. Is that what you would want to? 'The smell of my kuia’s fried bread' is the most wonderful line. Thank you for sharing this poem. It was fun to read.
ReplyDeletei look forward to your next blog post.
Hi there, my name is hilal and I am a student in room Hauraki at waikowhai primary School. I really like the photo of the chest that was open. It made me think of Jack and the beanstalk where the light came out. Have you thought about any similes. If you would like to see my learning, my blog is http://wpshilalc.blogspot.co.nz.

Hi my name is Dazharn from Waikowhai Primary school. I like how you put Nrl in it because I am a big fan of rugby league.I remember when I wrote a poem in room 10 it was really fun and I wrote a poem about rugby and a magic rugby ball. The one thing you could change is that can you make itrhyme so it could sound better and it will look better. Can you please look at my blog at http://wpsdazharnr.blogspot.co.nz blog you later.
