Metaphor Writing with School Kit

As part of our School Kit Writing activities, we learned how to use metaphors in our writing. 
We were inspired by the poem called "The Iain Sharp Poem'.

The Iain Sharp Poem

Iain Sharp is a fat parcel of mixed groceries tied with a clumsy knot.

Iain Sharp is a black kite adrift on changeable winds.

Iain Sharp is a pile of scoria tricking softly to the sea.

Whenever I peep in mirrors Iain Sharp frowns back at me.

It’s terrifying.

Iain Sharp is a runaway tramcar.

Iain Sharp is a chunk of moonrock.

Iain Sharp is nine letters wrenched from the Roman Alphabet.

Our Room 20 Poem

Room 20 is a shiny, red motorbike, as fast as lightning.

Room 20 is a big, strong, old, prickly totara tree.

Stronger than any other tree in the forest.

Room 20 is Seeley’s Gully, a trickling stream with twittering fantails,

flittering around and snatching the insects.

Room 20 is a crunchy ham and cheese special subway sandwich.

Room 20 is a pair of red swimming shorts with yellow lightning bolts.
