Once in a Blue Moon

by Ruby JJ, age 10

The moon is a silver pin
jabbed
 into dark velvet

It is an ash wolf
        balanced
             on a large rock

It is a cluster of glowworms
squashed
 into a cave

It is a colony of butterflies
teaming
 with life

The moon is a crescent shaped
        lopsided
  smile

Bright Moon
by Noel H, age 10

The moon is a hat
left hanging in the closet

It is a bumpy tire
stuck on the back of a car

The moon is an old grey picture
kept in a drawer

It is a block of silver
hidden in a safe


Silvery Moon
by Amelia Y, age 11

The moon is a fat grey mouse
who ate too much cheese.

The moon is a white football
filled with helium.

The moon is a silver coin
dropped from the giant’s land.

The moon is a grey reflection
shining in the sky.

The moon is a huddle of fireflies
all sound asleep.

The moon is a pearly beach
with people playing beach ball.



Just like…
by Ava M, age 11

The moon is a shining pearl
waiting to be found

The moon is a dragon’s eye
gleaming in the sunlight

The moon is a silver disk
constantly on repeat

The moon is a metallic pastel
drawing on sapphire paper

The moon is a white scarf
fluttering hopelessly in the cold winter wind


Shining Night Skies
by Ava S, age 10

The moon is a white rabbit
jumping from one place to
another

The moon is a silver
coin, lying there waiting
to get somewhere

The moon is a curvy
ball, getting kicked into the
night sky

The moon is a round
lollie, getting re-wrapped
when the morning comes


The Moon, our Guardian
by Reuben V, age 11

The moon is a black motorcycle jacket
crashing
against the wind

The moon is a grey sheet of metal
protecting soldiers from
vigorous
gunshots

It is an olden days photo
of a child
stuck
in an old man’s journal

The moon is our guardian
keeping us safe
through the night


What is the Moon?
by Yathi K, age 12

The moon is a white blank page
flying in the breeze

It is grey like an old man’s hair
waving in the wind as he walks by

The moon is silver like a tip of a pen
writing history

It is a perfectly burnt marshmallow
tempting to look at

The moon is gold like a treasure
waiting to be stolen

White Pom-pom on an Indigo Hat
by Ella-Rose E, age 11

The moon is a white pom-pom bobbing on an indigo hat.
It is a silver ornament sparkling on a beautiful tree.

The moon is a gold medal glistening in the summer sun.
It is a multi coloured disco ball shining in a dark room.

The moon is a grey concrete path revealing dusty footprints.
It is a red stop sign captivating looks of awe.


My Great Grandad, the Moon
101 Years Old
by William B, age 12

The moon is my great grandad
trudging along the endless sky

It is my great grandad’s hair
white, and swaying in the breeze

The moon is my great grandad’s smile
whenever I come and visit


Spiky Moon
by Jade H, age 11

The moon is a grey dog
playing with a white shiny bone

The moon is a black computer
doing tiring homework

The moon is a white piece of paper
ripping in the dark spooky night

The moon is a glowing tooth
under my pillow
