The Question Poem

What are soft?

A fluffy teddy bear on my brothers bed and my puffy cushion.

What are pretty?

A work of art hanging up in my bedroom and my beautiful friend who speaks Russian.

What are hot?

Burnt chicken straight out of the oven and an Australian llama.

What are unlucky?

A bad-tempered black cat and cursed karma.

What are heavy?

The crystal blue Pacific Ocean and a double decker bus.

What are cute?

A baby giggling in it’s crib and a kitten named puss.

What are loud?

An early morning ping and a dish falling onto the floor.

What makes a bang?

Smashing a wooden spoon on a frying pan and my brother slamming the door.

I want to paint

I want to paint the sound of the wonderful wind rushing through the air as fast as a cheerful cheetah.

I want to paint the smell 0f smoke slowly drifting across my back garden from a flaming firework.

I want to paint the memory of meeting holly for the first time at the front gates.

I want to paint the impossibility of riding a floating fish in space as fast as a racing rocket.

I want to paint the distance between a tiny mouse and the tallest mountain in the world.
