Summer Term, Week 5: Literacy - Tuesday Apollo was also a Greek god of poetry. Let’s do some poetry activities together! Start by sharing this poem with someone at home. The Magic Box I will put in the box the swish of a silk sari on a summer night, fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon, the tip of a tongue touching a tooth. I will put in the box a snowman with a rumbling belly a sip of the bluest water from Lake Lucerene, a leaping spark from an electric fish. I will put in the box three violet wishes spoken in Gujarati, the last joke of an ancient uncle, and the first smile of a baby. I will put in the box a fifth season and a black sun, a cowboy on a broomstick and a witch on a white horse. My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel, with stars on the lid and secrets in the corners. Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs. I shall surf in my box on the great high-rolling breakers of the wild Atlantic, then wash ashore on a yellow beach the colour of the sun. by Kit Wright © Kit Wright 1987 – originally published in Cat Among the Pigeons - Viking Kestrel. Poem reprinted with kind permission.
