Well done to Iain M!

April 7, 2008 · No Comments

P5-7 entered a poetry competition before the Easter Holidays with the fantastic prize of the whole class being invited to the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness to see the Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen.

Congratulations to Iain M. whose poem The Magic Cauldron has been chosen as one of the winners.

Read and enjoy.

The Magic Cauldron

I will put in my cauldron

The slither of a fake snake

The coldness of a boiling volcano

The leap of a seven legged frog

I will put in my cauldron

The pain of an arrow striking my heart

The scream of a mermaid

The bite of a Chinese leprechaun

I will put in the cauldron

The stench of the great green greasy Lim-Po-Po River

The greeness of a red piece of paper

The smell of an orange from an apple

My cauldron is fashioned from demon hair and dragon scales

With delicate pixie wings on the lid and

Memories on the legs

The inside is made from the flames of a fire

I shall fight in my cauldron

Against my worst nightmares

I shall win

In the darkest of times
