Thomastown Primary School

These next poems are by Jacob, James, Junior, Jade, Princess, Maddy, Jocelyn, Jolene, Raymond, Dean, Angelo, Dylan and Steven of Thomastown Primary School. These poems explore metaphor as a poetic technique, using colours and senses. This is a great excercise particularly for Primary School students who are often open to non-literal translations of the world and experiences.

 

Chocolate

Tastes smooth
It sounds like RnB beating
In your sleek low rider car.

Indigo


Indigo tastes like blueberry pie.
Indigo smells like expensive perfume.
Indigo sounds like clouds crying.
Indigo feels like a warm robe.
Indigo is stromy weather.

Silver

Is a crystal in a cave.
Rain pelting down on the roof.
It is a taste of victory.
The freezing touch of snow.

Lime

Lime looks like the beautiful green parts of the earth from space.
Lime sounds like a fizzy green drink that you just opened.
Lime tastes like a lemon not ready to eat.
It smells like sour grass.
