✨poem about the sounds✨
Ewen has played around with a number of the sound challenges. She has tried rhymes that almost rhyme, two words on a line with tricky rhyme, made-up words and a catchy, repeating line like Margaret Mahy’s in The Lion in the Meadow. I loved the energy of these poems Ewen so I am sending you a book prize (another one of my favourite picture books, Donkeys (published by Gecko Press) as it has words and illustrations that sing.
Stones
Jagged, round
from roads in town.
Precious or plain
never the same.
Sky
Far sky
proud sky
dark sky
cloudy sky
sinking sky
hail sky
pink sky
pale sky
rain sky
light sky
plain sky
bright sky
doom sky
late sky
noon sky
fate sky.
Listen to The World For a Minute or Two
Listen to the blinds chimeaclatter
listen to the footsteps stompastamp
listen to the leaves swingarustle
listen to the birds chirpatweet.
Listen to the cars speedapass
listen to the wind whooshagrowl
listen to the airplanes whirafly
listen to the world for a minute or two.
The King of The World (A Margaret Mahy challenge)
The huge, trumpeting, wild elephants
storm across the land.
The huge, trumpeting, wild elephants
want to join the band.
The huge, trumpeting, wild elephants
make footprints in the sand.
The huge, trumpeting, wild elephants
don’t want to be banned.

I was over the moon to see a class had written a poem together. I wondered if they tried my challenge to shut their eyes for a few minutes and listen to sounds. I felt like I was right there in the classroom with my eyes shut. What a wonderful job, Room 2.
Duntroon School Sounds Before Playtime
A distant helicopter
Birds tweeting and chirping
Ducks communicating
Cicadas making their music, too
Bushes and leaves rustling
Voices
And light footsteps on the grass
Stones crunching
Wind whispering
Bees buzzing
The breeze lightly blowing the leaves
Our river rushing over rocks
The sounds of nature sometimes interrupted by vehicles passing
A car radio playing music, too
My stomach grumbling . . .
Playtime!
By Room 2 (aged 7 to 9)
(Teacher Natalie Aarts told me Duntroon School is a rural school about 30km inland from Oamaru on State Highway 83. They are learning about the senses so doing a sound poem together was perfect, she said.)
Gemma and Daniel sent me in a bundle of sound poems that were (to borrow Gemma’s word) crackling with energy. They even wrote one together. I loved reading these. Gemma tried a poem with lots of onomatopoeia, Daniel made a very funny rhyme-y poem about a cat. I especially loved the rhyme in this poem, Daniel. Gemma’s lake poem was a symphony of sounds. I am going to send Daniel and Gemma a book to share as I loved their poems. I am sending them another favourite picture book that sings — with good words and cool pictures Bravo (also published by Gecko Press).
Early in the morning
Yawn, yawn crack
thump
creak, click
crackle, crackle
tinkle, tinkle
snap crackle pop
crunch, crunch, crunch
huoff erc, huoff erc, huoff erc
Vroom, vroom
Into the Lake
No ordinary jump
Extraordinary bump
leap
deep
swim
flew
bellyflop
mighty plop
Phew!

My Cat Flubber
My cat Flubber
Is made of blubber
She wobbles like rubber
But I don’t care
I love her.
Rhyme Time
I try my pie for morning kai
I pack a tic-tac for my snack
I glue blue goo to my shoe
I could fill my quill but it will spill.

I was delighted to get a whole bunch of poems from Ohaupo Primary School, Room 5, Year 3-4. Age 7-8. Usually I only pick a few from a class, but the poems all SOUND so good I have posted them all. What scrumptious words on each line. I can tell you used your EARs and went hunting for words that sound good togeth
