Our writers have been hard at work creating some incredible poems about the Moon for Paula Green's Poetry Box Moon Challenge.
Our challenge was to think up some fresh, creative similes and metaphors to describe the qualities of the moon.
We made a list of adjectives to describe the moon (like shiny, round, crescent, white, silver, gold, bumpy). We then brainstormed interesting objects that shared some of those same qualities. We made sure to use strong verbs too, to give our poem movement.
Here are some of my favourite lines from our Russley Writers' poems:
The moon is a silver pin
jabbed
into dark velvet
- by Ruby
The moon is a hat
left hanging in the closet
- by Noel
The moon is a fat grey mouse
who ate too much cheese
- by Amelia
The moon is a dragon's eye
- by Ava M
The moon is a black motorcycle jacket
crashing
against the wind
- by Reuben
The moon is gold like treasure
waiting to be stolen
- by Yathi
The moon is my great-grandad's smile
whenever I come and visit
- by William
We are hoping some of the poems may be selected for publication on Paula Green's Poetry Box blog. Fingers crossed!
