Winter 2011 Poetry Comp: THE WINNERS (Part 3)

Alphabet Soup

Here is the winning Under 7s story from our winter 2011 writing competition. You were asked to imagine waking up one morning to find you had grown wings—and to write a poem about it.

A reminder: always check the rules of the competition. If you don’t stick to the rules, we have to disqualify your entry and that makes us sad!

Under 7s winner: A Flack (WA)

WINGS

I woke up
One morning
And I had
Grown wings
I didn’t know
There were such things
Whizzing around
I flew high in the air
Then I found myself
Back in my chair
Then I was
Back in my bed.

SURPRISE

The sun slapped my face
It gave me a fright.
Morning was here
Gone was the night.
I looked in the mirror
I turned my back
And what I saw
Gave me an attack!
Wings! Wings!
All on my back.
Six pairs of them.
What a six pack!
