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

in the sky
Sounds like popcorn

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

breathing fire
sounds like popcorn
popping
and balloons
