What is red? by Cleo, year 5
What is red? An apple is red
Lying in its leafy green bed
What is white? A swan is white
Swimming in the inky night.
What is blue? A starling is blue
Landing in the morning dew.
What is pink? A sunset sky is pink
As the birds fly past with a wink.
What is orange? A wasp is orange
Flying off in search of an orange.
What is yellow? The early grass is yellow
As I walk across it’s all so mellow
What is green? A pear is green
While I walk past it’s a beautiful scene.
What is purple a plum is purple
This one was eaten by Myrtle.
What is black? A winter’s night is black
As the world sleeps in the inky sack.
What is brown? Chocolate is brown
As it slides through my throat it goes down down.
