A
different way of looking
One of the
pleasures of writing poems is that you can tell lies without getting into
trouble! It’s just using your imagination.
• Each member of
your group will write three lies about the something other than the sea (the
sky, the moon the stars, the sun, the clouds etc. can also work well)
• Be wild and
imaginative with your lies avoiding the obvious or the dull (the moon is made
of cheese).
A few examples of
what they could write are:
The sea is made
of blue ink and green paint
The sea hates it
when it’s drawn as a wavy line.
The sea is cold
because it hasn’t got a coat on
The sea going up
and down is a sign it’s still breathing
The sea feeds on
rubbish but even he can’t manage it all
If you smack the
sea it will splash you back
The sea has a
small cousin who is a pond
The sea will wave
to you when you turn to leave
As you can see, what starts off as a lie becomes a mix of word play,
sometimes truth, and off-the-wall creativity. It gives a chance to use
imagination without forcing it and with a sense of fun.
Your group will perform/read the poem aloud - reading each member’s
own line.
