Kraken

by Ruby May Charman aged 9

My name is… well I have many names
but I call myself mostly Kraken.
I live in the deep sea
I am green and a little yellow
Everyone thinks I’m scary
but when they get to know me
they think I’m quite friendly.
I saw the first shark, the first green octopus
and heard the first whale screech.
I know how many animals live in the sea
I know when the ocean started
I also know when the first flowers
grew in the ocean
I can sing a rhyme that no other animal can.
I am the fastest animal,
the cleverest
and I’m a billion years old.
My name?
Well, I have many names
but I mostly call myself Kraken!
I am the Kraken!

    I enjoyed visiting your school, Ruby. And this is a great poem! Do you see how I have arranged your words into shorter lines? You should copy this new version out and share it with your class. Good work!
