What is your favourite poem? Mine is 'The Magic Box' by Kit Wright.
I will put in the box
the swish of a silk sari on a summer night,
fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon,
the tip of a tongue touching a tooth.
I will put in the box
a snowman with a rumbling belly
a sip of the bluest water from Lake Lucerene,
a leaping spark from an electric fish.
I will put into the box
three violet wishes spoken in Gujarati,
the last joke of an ancient uncle,
and the first smile of a baby.
I will put into the box
a fifth season and a black sun,
a cowboy on a broomstick
and a witch on a white horse.
My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel,
with stars on the lid and secrets in the corners.
Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs.
I shall surf in my box
on the great high-rolling breakers of the wild Atlantic,
then wash ashore on a yellow beach
on the great high-rolling breakers of the wild Atlantic,
then wash ashore on a yellow beach
the colour of the sun.
by Kit Wright
I love it because Kit Wright has
described some truly wonderful things. Some of them only exist in the
imagination and could never really be put in a box. He has used wonderful
vocabulary to describe these images and you can really imagine what they would look,
sound or feel like. I also love the way the poem sounds when you read it aloud.
Especially the first line, 'the swish of a silk sari on a summer night.' The
alliteration (repetition of the 's' sound) really helps it to slip off the
tongue.
You may choose one of the following tasks:
1) Can you continue the poem? What would you put into the magic box?
Write three verses that describe what you would put into the box.
2) What is your favourite poem? Choose your favourite poem and write it
up neatly on paper. You may decorate it if you like. Can you also explain why you
like it? Which are your favourite words, images or sentences?

��If I could catch a rainbow ��
----------------------------------
If I could catch a rainbow ��
I would do it just for you ����♂️
and share with you its beauty on the days you're feeling blue ����
If I could build a mountain ⛰
you call your very own place to be alone ����♂️
If I could take your troubles ����♂️
I would toss them in the sea ��
But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me ����♂️
I cannot build a mountain ��
Or catch a rainbow fair ����♂️
but let me be what I know best ��
A friend that's always there.������
Why I like the poem:
----------------------------
I like the poem because there is interesting words and lots of adjectives.It is very imaginative.��
My favourite phrase is "place to be alone" because we can meet our friends together in lonely quiet place.��������������
I will put in the box…
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful blue sea,
a gigantic firework exploding in the air,
a whole pile of glittering gold.
I will put into the box…
A snapping snap dragon flower,
some sparkling sparklers moving in the air,
a shinny BMW M3, racing to the finish line. YES!!!
My box is magical made of spells untold,
with secrets written and old.
I shall float in my box high above earth,
quickly swimming to the moon,
creeping towards me mountains cast a grey shadow.
I will put in the box
ReplyDeleteA Chinese golden neckless of a special Oriental god,
A beautiful plant of the edge of the field sitting quietly,
A shiny giant rainbow circling the whole white world.
My favourite poem is: Don’t by Michael Rosen
ReplyDeleteI like the whole poem because it is funny. Having watched the poet perform online I like the part where he said “don’t put ants in your pants” the best. It makes me laugh. Where he said “and don`t stick your toes up your nose!” Michael spoke a bit funny and made his voice change by putting his fingers on his nose. I also like the rhyming sound it’s also a bit crazy! At school it made everyone laugh.
