It's as easy as Poetry - Pencils Writing Group


We have been learning to write nonsense poetry. We had to write a sentence about a noun, something that it couldn't do and compare it to something else that is impossible.

It's as easy as making a bee laugh
or a snowman put on a scarf. 
It's as easy as making a chair talk
or a pencil walk. 
It's as easy as making the Earth stop
or a chicken to make a stock. 
It's as easy as making a flower to die
or your teeth to cry. 
It's as easy as making a tree open a door
or a newborn walk on a plain old floor.  Alexus

It's as easy as telling a bee to make honey
or trying to find a break dancing bunny. 
It's as easy as telling a light o turn itself on
or telling a snail to rip its head off. Ava

It's as easy as telling a baby to talk
or teaching a piece of paper to walk. 
It's as easy as teaching a bunny to eat a bone
or to teach a bird to make a clone. 
It's as easy as telling a frog to do hair
or telling a fly to eat a big grizzly bear. 
It's as easy as asking an elephant to fly
or making a building bake an apple pie. Imogen

It's as easy as trying to shoot a fly
or telling a bird to die. 
It's as easy as teaching a donkey to fly
or telling a tree to say Hi.  Mathew

It's as easy as teaching a flower to talk
or teaching a fire to walk. 
It's as easy as having a dragon love a pig
or make a pig wear a crazy, big blue wig. Kate

It's as easy as making a monkey talk
or teaching a tree to walk. 
It's as easy as putting a branch in a tyre
or setting a butterfly on fire. Maria

It's as easy as telling a bee not to sting
or asking a chicken to rip off it's wing. 
It's as easy as making a tree hoot
or a spider wear a boot. Kaya

If our class were something you find in your community what something would it be? 
Akomanga Waru is a redwood tree spying the view of the city.

If our class were a kind of meal what kind of meal would it be? 
Akomanga Waru is a pepperoni pizza waiting to be chopped up into 32 pieces.
