If stars were mushrooms
If stars were mushrooms
and the sky a pine needle forest
with pine-planet trees,
you would be my fairy ring,
the moon a giant mushroom.
by Maya S, Year 5
If stars were made of string
If stars were made of string,
I would weave you a world
where everything would be dropped
with dew, glistening in the sun
even you.
If stars were made of candy
I would pick one from the sky
whenever you wanted
you would crunch into it,
calm and relaxing
you’d be happy
we’d be happy.
Elle W, Year 6
If stars were like boats
they would sail the seven seas,
metal shining in the moonlight,
sails heaving the ship
with solar winds
across the night sky.
Sasha Y, Year 8
Staccato Star
If stars were to talk
I would have one as a pet
He would be called
Staccato Star
Hanaka S Y6
Fishing for stars
If stars fell every time lightning strikes
I would walk out in the rain
carrying my green bucket and a long fishing rod.
I’d cast away into the dead of night
I’d fish for stars
if stars fell every time lightning strikes.
Billy R Year 7
Star Rain
If stars fell every time it rained
I would put a bucket to catch them
I would store them in jars
labelled ‘From Mars’
And wouldn’t let anyone take them
Zara R Year 7
If stars were like…
If stars were like people
every day would be
bright as the sun
If the stars were like trees
they would sway
in the breeze
If the stars were like doors
they would lead you
to a brand new world…
By Sam K, Year 7
You are a star
If books were stars I’d buy yours
lost in the universe, I'd find you
all alone in the void of the boot, I’d come.
Falling from the sky, I’d catch you
because you are a star.
Zeke F Year 7
