What Is Black? Poem

In room five this term we have been writing poetry and so far we have written two different poems. For this poem we were told to pick a colour and Deakyn and I chose black, here is our poem.

What Is Black?

Could black be batman?

Or could it be a ninja?

Maybe a shadow

Of a ginger ninja,

Blacker than the night sky

Would you like to say hi

Or will it be a good-bye

Blacker than a bright light

Blacker than a funeral

Blackberries are black

Black like a black blanket

Black basketballs that bounce high,

And black soccer balls with a black and

yellow pattern on them

Blacker than a black cat

Blacker than a trampoline mat

A Black cave

A black hole

A big black Thunder cloud

Dropping black raindrops,

Black as a bat

Or a piece of coal for

The naughty children

Screaming in the blackout of movie theatre
