We delved deeper into the conventions of his work and explored his ability to express deep passion through sensual language and find vibrant life and majesty in mundane everyday items like tomatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 7 then took what they had learned and applied it to their own creative piece of poetry. Constructing a passionate ode to an everyday household object of their choosing. Below are some examples of their efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ode to a Whiteboard Marker\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>A simple black pen,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What is so special?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Education, teaching, learning,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

One single pen, has so much potential\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The inky blackness squeaks when applied to the board,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Some students are tired, their knowledge needs to be restored.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Why is learning so awfully boring?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to learn so early in the morning.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Give it a chance, I promise you will like it,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about that assignment you have to submit,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Get out of your chair,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Walk to the front,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Open the pen,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And write what you want. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

ODE TO A HAIR TIE<\/i><\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oh hair tie,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How joyful you are<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You alone are bizarre\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My hair will now be secure\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Usefulness you can assure<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019re elastic and stretchy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Never at all sketchy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Perfect for on-the-go hairstyles<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Forever versatile\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Adaptable and colourful<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Tying hair is now wonderful<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Naydine Seow, Year 7 Student<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\n
ODE TO APPLES<\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>You are constantly new, unlike anyone or anything.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You have always been on the verge of falling from paradise: full and lovely sunrise cheek!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The earth’s produce, such as bunchy grapes, muted mangos, skeletal plums, and sunken figs, is so odd in comparison to you.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You are the cheese of all the flowers, fragrant bread, and clean balm.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We all temporarily regress to the state of the baby when we bite into your round innocence because we still have some apple inside of us.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Marie Karkour, Year 7 Student<\/b><\/p>\n

\n
ODE TO A MANGO<\/i><\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Your juicy flesh\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

So soft<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And tender\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Your skin is like a treasure box\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Hiding the\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Juicy tender flesh that treasures look for\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Your flesh taste like\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Golden flakes\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Good enough to be in\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A treasure box\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
