Poetry and GPS
Jupiter have been trying to incorporate the grammar we have been learning into more creative pieces of writing. Here are some fantastic examples of poems using the subjunctive form (if I were…)
If I were a colour
I’d be yellow
And be the sun feeding the galaxy
If I were yellow
If I were black
I’d be space
Lit up eventually by stars
If I were black
FREDDIE M
If I were a car
I’d be a Lamborghini
Zooming down the Italian highways
To buy me you’d need a big money bag
I’d be so fast you’d think I’m Houdini
If I were a Lamborghini
SAM
If I were an animal
I’d be a lion
I’d be feasting
I’d be resting
I’d be chasing
If I were an an ostrich
I’d be sticking my neck in the ground
I’d be kind instead of nasty
If I were an ostrich
JACK K
If I were a colour
I’d be red
The bloody inside a body
The fiery anger people hide
The flames dancing in a building
If I were yellow
I’d be the dandelions dancing in the wind
I’d be the shimmering sun
I’d be happiness inside a body
OLLIE
If I were an animal
I’d be the red ant that bit you
The mouse who ate all your cheese
The bed bug that’s with you
The dog that bit your right on the nose
If I were an animal
If I were some food
I’d be the cabbage your mum hid in your pizza
A pickled pickle pickling in a pickle jar
An evil avocado eating away at you
The apple that bonked Newton on the head
If I were a food
ARTHUR
If I were a colour
I would be orange
I’d be a clownfish swimming around the sea
I’d be the fallen leaves on an autumn tree
If I were orange
If I were a colour
I would be blue
I’d be a butterfly zooming in a forest
I’d be the calming ocean waves on a sandy beach
If I were blue
If I were a colour
I would be green
I’d be the three lucky leaves on a clover
I’d be the grass growing in the fields
If I were green
