The Cheetahs

by Kajus aged 10

Last night I saw the savanna breathing.
Great guests of cheetahs
Rushing in and out
Puffing in and out
of singing crowds

Last night, I saw the savanna laughing.
The cheetahs got the tickles.
Zebras split their sides.
And trees completely creased themselves

Last night I saw the savanna dancing.
Cheetahs were cheek to cheek to cheek
with brick walls ,snakes wiggled their hips
all over the place.

And the snakes
on the plates
Put a show on for the audience of windows.

Last night I saw the savanna starving.
Snakes avenue smacked their legs.
And swallowed the buffaloes!
The skinny hyenas blocked the water.
And they pounced to scare the cheetahs

Last night I saw the savanna crying.
Cracked trees got filled with water.
And the savanna got full of pouring rain.

Last night, I saw the savanna sleeping.
Cheetahs and hyenas dreamed.
Savanna grass settled down and had
A dream.
And when I grow up I’m going to be jumping
up and down, scrawling around
And the rain like the waterfall pouring down.
Snoozing on the trees like the breeze.
