More Moon Poetry - Senior

The Big Donut
        by Thomas P (year 7)

The moon is a big donut
half eaten

It is a ginormous elephant
moving logs

It is a glowing T.V.

It is a rally car doing laps
at speedway

It is a blue sea
with crashing waves

It is a shining spotlight
glaring at me






The Moon
          by Baylee L-M (year 7)

The moon is a big M&M cookie
it is the big blue sea swaying
it is a ginormous Hummer cruising across space
it is a blinding camera flash



Yummy Tummy
        by Cameron L(year 7)

The moon is a full tummy
It is a blue Smurf
It is an illuminating smile
It has so many little sparkling friends
It is an adventurous white rat
IN SPACE



The Big Red Moon
        by Holly (year 7)

The moon is a silver doorknob
It is a blue clue stick
It is a glowing lamp flying
it is a soccer ball spinning
in space

It is changing
into a
banana


The Pie in the Sky
        by Tama T (year 7)

The moon is a half-eaten
steak and cheese pie

It is a silver wheel rim
of my Lamborghini Aventador

It is a bright camera flash
at a gaming convention



Pounamu Moon
        by Raevyn H (year 7)

The moon is a pounamu ring
worn by one of the Gallipoli men.
It is a beaming flashlight
flickering through the night.
It is a memory
dragging me back to my Loved Ones.



The Crescent
        by Avijit (year 7)

The moon is a speeding
        boomerang
        going around the planet

It is a frightened grey mouse
        hiding in the clouds

It is a middle distance runner
        racing laps around the tracks
        in the flashing stars



The Shimmering Moon
        by Ollie M (year 6)

the moon is a smile
in a dark forest

it is a golden blade
slicing through the jet black sky

it is a shrimp
in an inky sea

it is a shining spotlight
searching for a pack of howling wolves



The Moon is a Chocolate Chip Biscuit
        by Farren S (year 6)

The moon is a chocolate chip biscuit.
It is a silver necklace gleaming through the window.
The moon is a knife cutting through the glistening night sky.
It is a hailstone getting closer and closer to the icy landscape.
The moon is an LED beaming into a shimmering pond.



Kim Schonert Moon Poem
        by Kim  (year 6)

The moon is a lime banana
The moon is a silver medal
The moon is a golden trophy
The moon is a bouncy ball
It is a shining firefly and a glowing lamp
it is a gleaming bottle of colourful glitter

When I hear...

Inspired by Apirana Taylor's visit to Russley School and all his wonderful musical instruments, stories and songs... and his poem 'Haka' we wrote our own sound poems.

We listened for the sounds in our everyday life; the 3pm bell, the cheering crowd at a basketball game, a laugh, a snore... and the sounds in nature; thunder, rain, waves, tui.

We thought about the feelings and emotions these sounds evoked and came up with some surprising metaphors to describe them.

Here are a few of the best:

Speed Car

When I hear the engine roar
I want to jump in
and drive away
as fast as a second going by

it is a cheetah with nitrous
it is the washing machine spinning                
it is the drums in ‘Loaded Diaper’
it is a one year old baby screaming
Gggggeeerrr!

by Thomas Pugh

                                                     

STEP DAD SNORING
When I hear the snoring of my stepdad
I feel like the room is going to fly away
it makes annoyed when I try to go to sleep.
It is an earthquake
It is lightning and thunder
It is a tiger roaring.
It is the wind blowing through the trees.

By Holly Sanders-Young

                                                     

The Beach
When I hear the waves
I feel it in my mouth
It makes my mouth salty like McDonald’s chips
It is the crashing of the drums
and the humming of the flute
It is the growling of the T-Rex
THUMP CRASH BANG!!!!!
                                                                             by Tamati Te Aho  
                                                      

The Big Shake
by Cameron Lonie

When I hear the RUMBLING
I see it in my head
Memories of 2011
I feel really red
So much mayhem around me
It makes me curl up into a ball
like a little armadillo hiding from its hunter
It is the chitter chatter chatter of the people’s teeth
that spent a night under the rubble
Waiting Waiting Waiting…

                                                     


THE BUZZER BEATER

When I hear the crowd
It makes me feel great
It makes me shoot the ball
like a meteor in the hoop
It is a boom box
It is the script

by Josh Sangster

                                                     

Thunder

When I hear the thunder
I feel threatened
It makes me slowly fade
It makes me feel fast
It is a striking bullet  
It is the trampling of an elephant pack
It is fast as flowing water
Rumbling grumbling mumbling

By Raevyn Hohaia
                                                     

Waves

When I hear the waves
I feel free
It makes my heart race
It makes me feel like I’m in my dream
It is a rhinoceros crashing into the walls
It is the thundering of the Haka
It is my heart pounding
It is the gust of wind cracking the tree
It is a thunder of an explosion
Crash! Smash! Slash!

By Raevyn Hohaia
