POEMS FROM Room 7
The Softest Thing
The softest thing is flour
It is pure white
It is soft like a cushion
It smells like something burning
It dries your mouth up
One grain is almost as small as an atom
By: Liam Sabiston
The Brightest Thing
The brightest thing is the sun
A big orange ball in the sky
It’s as warm as a torch on my arm
By: Dominic Parata
The Longest Thing
The longest thing is a snake
It is slippery as a fish
It sounds like a rustling tree
It looks like a scaly crocodile with its razor-sharp fangs
By: Ben Irvine
The Softest Thing
The softest thing is a kitten
curled up in bed
It is as soft as a fur coat
It is warm as the sand on a
summer day
It smells like a new shoe
And sounds like a purring tiger
Kittens are such soft things
I love it when they purr against
your legs
Don’t you?
By: Katerina van Rooyen
The Coldest Thing
The coldest thing is going to
Antarctica
It is a white home to penguins
It is hard unbreakable ice
It’s so cold it burns
The wind whirls around and the sea is
wavy
By: Mikey Kelly
