What are light? A feather gliding across the meadow in the soft breeze, 

a flower falling from a Magnolia Kobus

and butterfly fluttering its wings down to the grass.

What are heavy? A leaning tree full of blossom,

my brothers gym equipment

and broken branch on the field.

What are soft? A pair of silk pyjamas,

a squirrel stuffed animal

and the last cotton bud on my moms vanity. 

What are hard? My teachers maths lessons,

a new glass window

and a 636 page Harry Potter book.

What are fragile? A child’s first tooth,

a China teacup and plate

and a butterflies wings.

What are tough? My last couple of brain cells,

a sharks teeth after it attacked its pray

and a lion after they fight each other in their habitat.

What is quiet? A mouse as it attempts to find food under the kitchen floorboards,

a child secretly trying to open the sweet packet

and a local library in town.

What are loud? Fireworks on new years day,

an ambulances sirens

and my dad’s motorcycle engine.
