Poetry Workshop - 30th April 2008

Poems by Panthers Class

Happy

I am the student with no homework to do
I am the hungry shark surrounded by plump fish
I am smiling roast pig being eaten
I am rodent with a wiring loom
I am the lacey pants being modelled on the catwalk.


Sad

I am an ice-berg melting into nothing
I am an army man who's just got shot in the neck
I am the depressed ringleader standing in the empty circus with no audience
I am the man whose life is being taken by death
I am a volcano erupting.


Poetry Day: Lions Class

 

What the tree saw

The rocket landing on top of the football stadium.
It was blue, green, red, orange, yellow and purple.
A castle with a dragon and a racing car coming out of it.
The flames of the Great Fire of London and the heat burning my leaves.
The birds nest on top of the May Pole and the May Pole was tiny and Tinkerbelle was tiny.
A parade of knights and horses.

The Snail

On my way to school I saw snail.
It was slow, slimy, shelly, smelly, silly, sleepy, slippery, slipperty-slidy.
.And it got squashed!

If I ruled the World.

Let the teacher's go on holiday.
Blow up all the football Stadiums (except Ainfield, Old Trafford and Wembley).
Play for Manchester United or Liverpool.
Eat chocolate every single day
Eat chocolate spread sandwiches
Go on holiday
Go to the shop and get some chocolate
Eat some healthy things.


Poetry Day: Cheetah Class

What the tree saw

Jets going over England, dropping bombs.
A monkey being born, clinging onto its mother,
Green grass below
Houses built around me
A cat crossing the road
Children snapping my branches.
Their shoes scratching my bark.
They've been peeling my bark!
The first ever May Fair
First snow - like fluffy candy floss.
The first rocket taking off into the midnight sky.
Thousands of sunsets.


Shakespeare in a Tree

Shakespeare up, Shakespeare down
Arrows pepper all around
Angry robbers underneath
Knocking off many a leaf
Oh stop giving me a lot of grief.
The comet coming into Stogursey
And exploding the world.


For Sale

One brother,
Annoying and loopy.
Perfect for another annoying and loopy brother.
1p

One sister.
Weird and sometimes funny.
Perfect for a mad scientist or annoying brother.
2p or free to a good home!

 

More Poems ....

The steam was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The sun was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor,
And the highway pig came riding-
Riding-riding-
The highway pig came riding, up to the old inn-door.

He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin;
They fitted with never a shrivel: his boots were up to the thigh!
And he boasted with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.

Up on the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred;
He sang a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the land lady's purple-eyed buffalo,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

William R, Christopher, James S


The donkey was a torrent of darkness among the gusty peas,
The goo was a ghostly chicken tossed upon fluffy fleas,
The elephant was a zombie of moonlight, over the purple door,
And the monkey came humming-
Humming - humming -
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

He'd a French fry behind, a bunch of lies at his face,
A suitaces of the claret wizard, and breeches of brown rotten skin;
They fitted with never a wrinkle: his boots were up to the thigh!
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.

Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred;
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

The ear was a torrent of darkness among the gusty teachers,
The net was a ghostly balloon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The traintrack was a wood of god, over the purple highlighter,
And the three men came riding-
Riding-riding-
The three men came riding, up to the old inn-door.

He'd a French cocked-monobrow on his nostril, a bunch of grapes at his ears,
A dress of the claret wool, and skirt of brown chains;
They fitted with never a finger: his moon shoes were up to the floor!
And he rodewith a mirror twinkle,
His AK47 butts a-twinkle,
His pea hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled bed.

Over the leaves he clattered and clashed in the dark cupboard,
And he tapped with his ship on the eyelids, but all was locked and barred;
He trumped a song to the eyelids, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's red-eyed buffalo,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Cillian, Craig, Charlie


The field was a torrent of darkness among the gusty grass,
The tree was a ghostly giant tossed upon desert,
The road was a leaf of moonlight, over the purple horse,
And Puss-in Boots came riding-
Riding - riding -
The Puss-in Boots came riding, up to the old trap-door.

He'd a French sausage on his forehead, a bunch of leather at his whiskers,
A dress of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown silk;
They fitted with never a wrinkle: his boots were up to the knee!
And he rode with a jewelled eye,
His pistol butts all dark,
His rapier hilt all dark, under the jewelled ocean.

Over the wood he clattered and clashed in the dark farm-yard,
And he tapped with his sword on the shutters, but all was locked and barred;
He whistled a tune to the sky, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed pig,
Bess, the landlord's pig,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long pink tail.


Noah


The chair was a torrent of darkness among the gusty tknees,
The sun was a ghostly stallion tossed upon cloudy fleas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple poor,
And the iron man came riding-
Riding-riding-
The iron man came riding, up to the old floorboard.

The Crocodile and the Monkey rocked to sea
In a beautiful pea green bucket,
They kissed some rotten fish, and plenty of chocolate,
Sat up in a five pound oven.
The Crocodile looked up to the alien above,
And fought with a small drum,
'O lovely Monkey ! O Monkey my love,
What a beautiful Monkey you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Monkey you are!'

Giles, Harvey Tommy


The Dog and the Crocodile drove to a cafe
In a rotten stone car,
They made some vegetables, and loads of fish,
Scratched up in a batter.
The Dog jumped up to the ceiling below,
And kissed a smelly bird,
'O dirty Croccy! O Croccy my love,
What a ugly Croccy you are dumped,
You are,
You are!
What a ugly Croccy you are!'

Scott, Michael, Marc


The Dog and the Elephant sent to fish
In a beautiful grape green log,
They took some curry, and plenty of rice,
Squashed up in a five pound note.
The Dog looked up to the stairs above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Elephant ! O Elephant my love,
What a beautiful Elephant you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Elephant you are!'


Matthew, Sam


The Fox and the Horse ran to sea
In a beautiful pea green log,
They carried some carrots, and plenty of money,
Put in a bag.
The Fox stared up to the statue above,
And dreamed with a small violin,
'O lovely Pony ! O Pony my love,
What a beautiful Ponyyou are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pony you are!'

James, Emily


The Snake and the Elephant went to Argentina
In a beautiful pea-green bath,
They took some broccoli, and loads of money,
Burnt in a blanket.
The Snake shot up to the moon above,
And banged on a small drum,
'O Elephant! O Elephant my love,
What a beautiful Elephant you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Elephant you are!'

Jack, Ionie


The funny Dog and the Elephant went to sea
In a beautiful pea- green boat,
They took some pigs, and plenty of monkeys,
Squashed up in a five pound balnket.
The funny Dog looked up to the table-tennis ball above,
And sang to a small lunch box,
'O lovely Elephant ! O Elephant my love,
What a beautiful Elephant you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Elephant you are!'
