School Kit Writing - Metaphors

As part of our School Kit Writing learning, we worked together to create a poem inspired by the poem called "The Iain Sharp Poem"

The Iain Sharp Poem

Iain Sharp is a fat parcel of mixed groceries tied with a clumsy knot.

Iain Sharp is a black kite adrift on changeable winds.

Iain Sharp is a pile of scoria tricking softly to the sea.

Whenever I peep in mirrors Iain Sharp frowns back at me.

It’s terrifying.

Iain Sharp is a runaway tramcar.

Iain Sharp is a chunk of moonrock.

Iain Sharp is nine letters wrenched from the Roman Alphabet.

Our Metaphor Poem inspired by Iain Sharp!

Room 19 is a rainbow rocket that goes fast through the air.

Room 19 is a bright yellow school bus that will take you where ever you want.

Room 19 is a strong, spiky Tōtara tree that reaches tall and high in the sky.

Room 19 is the rushing Waikato River flowing to the centre of the Earth.

Room 19 is a wiggly spaghetti sandwich with 30 spaghetti pieces in it.

Room 19 is a blue hat with the school logo on it, protecting people from the sun.

Tomorrow we are going to write our own poem's.

I wonder what metaphors the learners of Room 19 will choose for themselves?
