amber's poem #1

coral snakes are awesome

they are colourful and they are venomous

coral snakes hide in the forest and only come out at
night

i like snakes but i'm glad they don't live in
new zealand



hedgehog

Hedgehogs are nocturnal.

But Prickles was sitting in the sun. 

"He is sick," said Amber, my nine-year-old daughter. "Big hedgehogs only come out in the day when they are sick."

Hmmm, I thought he was eyeing up my ducklings and chicks.

No wonder he posed for the camera.

He was sick.

:(



today

you are a boar

everything about you is mud

it matters not that i love, desire, and bed you

today

you are a boar

everything about you is mud



how do i

return to that place

where i was fed, scarred, and cleansed.

the place of...

...darkness for some...

...glimmer of colour for others.

how do i

return to that place

of passion...emotion...power

i long for its taste.

how do i

succumb to desire...absorb the rawness...spit it out at the world...

then run

how do i

return to that place

and come out...alive

matty's poem #1

Chameleons are cool because they can change colour when they are hot, cold, angry or sick.

They have long curly tails and they have patterns on their eyes and if the chameleons are the same they will fight all the time.
