ABC poems

January 13, 2009

First week with the Y7s we made up A-Z poetry.  Buddy (Nigel Hinton), football stars and local lists made up the crop that came in after the weekend.  These were Buddy ideas that turned into a ‘found’ poem:

Attic

Beast, Buddy’s first Beer with teddy Boy
Charmian held Chips over the bin
Dad’s a thief, I’m a dustman and Des lives in Dracula’s Castle
Friends are five pound fun but 
Ghosts make me Glum like green socks, guilty of
Holly and Harley horrors with
Isolated Ida, Mrs Solomon’s cat, while.
Julius and the Jewellery
Killed King the Knife.
Laughing through the Letterbox.
Mum’s Money Moondreams and
Normington’s Newton Castle
Open minded the
Police Parent’s evening.
Quiet!….the
Rybeero twins record revenge
Sympathy for the beast, scared, shocked shoplifter
Terry the taxi teddyboy thief and my trousers taking all the blame, trapped, tearful
Upset Uncle Des
Violent
Watch
X-rated films are
Y I went to
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (Sleep)
