Drawing by Katherine Lynas

Susie Scrawler drew and drew,      
She found she couldn't stop.          
Then one day her hand turned blue,   
Her wrist began to flop.  ​

Colouring In by George Kirk

I’m in the deepest trouble,
I’m guilty of a sin,
My teacher is so angry 
That I was colouring in.

Miss. Prudy had a great big tusk,
emerging from her head.
Mr. Bumble had two giant horns,
and they were coloured red.

I Saw It! by Laura Louise Stewart

15/3/2014

Ever seen a vampire bat that flashed a sharp-toothed smile?
Or some slimy water goblins ride a crocodile?
I have...

Perhaps you saw an ogre eating gravy-covered toes?
Or looked up at the sky and saw some glowing UFOs?
I did...

How about some phantom lions in a creepy zoo?
I can see these spooks and more, and guess what? You can too!
Here’s how...

Think of, let’s say, a haunted house, and with your mind explore it
Now all that scary stuff you see, just take a pen and draw it!

The Man with the Hat by Alex Craggs

9/2/2014

A man bought a new hat to put on his head,
When he tried to wear it, it floated instead.
He said, “Oh my goodness, I don’t understand,
At least, I have got my old hat in my hand.” ​

Is There a Rule? by Em Lynas

Why should a tiger be orange?
Why should the sky be blue?
Why should the grass be pastel green?
Is there a rule? For who?

The Sky Painters, by Laura Louise Stewart

21/1/2014

2 Comments

 
This morning I woke to a sunrise so bright,
Mum told me the sky painters came in the night.
She said while we slept they were loading their brushes,
With pigments as pink as a thousand girls’ blushes,

And sweeping across the horizon they made,
The world a huge canvas in this cheery shade.
I looked at the colours high over the trees,
I wondered, just what kind of painters are these?

They must have long arms for strokes so big and wide,
Or have some fantastic winged creatures to ride?
With a smile she said, seeing these artists is rare,
But often there are clues that they've been up there.

A smudged circle round the medallion sun,
A criss-cross of lines that no plane could have done.
Or when there’s a cloud, she said, shaped like a heart-
All might be original works of sky art.

That’s nice mum, I said, It’s a pretty thought but…
Don’t tell anyone else or they’ll think you’re a nut.

Mind Map by Kathryn Evans

Mind Map

I went for a walk,
Inside my own brain,
A short little trot,
Down my own neural lanes.
There were some surprises,
I will not deny,
I was taken aback,
By the pig in peach pie,
By the pink stumpy bushes
And trees that could flower,
With five different colours
In each passing hour.
A tiger surprised me,
Who ever could guess,
That his striped orange fur,
Was long pants and a vest?
But mostly what shocked me,
What made me feel crackers,
Was that driving my brain
Were four monkey hijackers.

Be an Artist by George Kirk

Be a painter my father advised,
Paint things that are food for the eyes.
Make them not just artistic
But hyper realistic
And take the whole world by surprise.
