Last Night

by Kelsey aged 10

Last night, I saw the classroom growing,
Flowers jumping out the soil,
Leaves dancing to the sound of the wind
Dancing up and up

Last night, I saw the classroom breathing,
Shadows whistling all around,
Children standing with their mouths open
The drawers open and shutting like a bear’s mouth

Last night, I saw the classroom moaning,
Teachers’ mouths moving quickly,
Kids bursting into tears
Birds shouting tweet tweet

Last night, I saw the classroom dancing,
Kids glancing and twirling around,
Teachers going to the ball room
The class was full of music

Last night, I saw the classroom crying
Tables crumbling down,
Children beside each other
Tissues flowing down

Last night, I saw the classroom sleeping,
Blinds closed their eyes,
Pencils lay fast asleep
