Sizzling Hangi Poetry

The Hangi – by Elizabeth, age 7

the hangi flames were like Hades’ hair

it smelt like nothing I’d ever smelt before

because it was so good

it felt like warm roasting bones

and sounded like crashing stones

The Hangi – by Catherine D, age 8

Looks like a pit of black bubbles

Smells like Chinese takeaways

Sounds like the Grand Canyon’s rocks crunching

Feels like sponges

Tastes like McDonalds

 

 

Hangi Simile Poem – by Hunter, age 8

the steam flew away like paper

it smelt like mint leaves

on a skinny tree, sleeping in a meadow

it was white hot, cooking our food

 

 

Hangi – by Tom H, age 8

Flames as bright as a spotlight.

Smells like smoke.

Rocks grinding like hadrosaur teeth.

Flames boiling like overboiled soup.

Tastes like a birthday lunch!

 

 

Hangi – by AJ, age 8

Looks like gusty fog

children sound like chattering monkeys

hangi smells like raw chicken

feels like my sweat

tastes like Anzac biscuits.

 

 

Hangi – by Clara Sellier, age 8

flames rose as high as the roof

fire sounded like a hissing snake

children chatted like a herd of elephants

steam floated like a parachute

felt hotter than a hot water bottle

 

 

Hangi Simile Poem – by Oliver C, age 9

The hangi looked like a real kitchen but underground.

It smelt like walking into a takeaway shop, but better.

It sounded like someone cutting my hair.

The chicken felt as slimy as a squishy snail.

It tasted like the best thing in the world.

           

 

The Hangi – by Noah D

The coal was as black as a tuxedo.

The chicken drumsticks smelt like lovely lion meat.

The hangi sounded like a tigers roar.

It felt like boiling oil.

Flames boiling hot like dragon’s breath.

 

 

Hangi Simile Poem – by Ella S, age 9

Looks like steam

boiling hot as lava

smells like my grandad’s lamb shanks

looks like a spotlight wiggling around

feels like my first present I opened

tastes like pizza

yummy as chips

 

 

Hangi Simile Poem – by Chloe, age 8

Looks like a massive star

transformed into a different shape

It smells like burned fish’n’chips

It sounds like purring cats in the breeze

It feels like a hot summer’s day at the beach

It tastes like air set on fire

 

Hangi Simile Poem – by Riley, age 8

FLAMES as bright as the moon

SMELLS like Mum’s meatballs

CRUNCHES, like when you eat chips

TASTES like fish and chips – yummy!

FEELS Soooooo hot “Wow!”

 

 

Hangi – by Baylee L, age 9

Flames as hot as lava

in Granny’s Sunday roast.

Flames boiling hot like dragon’s breath.

Sounds like an emerald smashing on the ground.

Tastes like heavenly fish and chips.

 

 

Hangi – by Kelly, age 10

Looks like a steam train

sounds like popcorn popping

smells like cigarette smoke

I feel amazed that food can cook

like that

in the ground

and it only took four and a half hours

in a hole

Hangi – by Kara, age 9

looks like heat waves

sounds like flick, pop, crack

smells like a skunk that died

feels like a hot summer’s day

HANGI – by Quinton, age 10

Embers look like crystals in the sky

Sounds like popcorn popping

Smells like beautiful flowers

Feels like hot sand at the beach

Tastes as crispy as pizza crust

Hangi – by Brayden, age 10

looks like a steam train

smells like smoke from cigarettes

feels as hot as a dragon breathing fire

sounds like popcorn popping

and balloons
