BENCHMARK Pfft, Poetry: Who Needs It? I’ve never quite gotten the hang of poetry. It has never really clicked. Below are just a couple of phrases Of bad examples I have picked. Awful attempts at alliteration Are all I can achieve. And despite desperate degrees of effort My assonance is still naive. My similes don’t come to a point, They’re as nonsensical as Swedish rye bread. And as for my personification, Why, the words have simply fled. Oh the difficulty with rhyming words They never seem just right. As can be seen by my last sentence, Which doesn’t even rhyme. Edward Clarke Year 10 15
POETRY The following poems were created by Year 10 Enrichment students as part of the Red Room Company’s education program, ‘Paper Cuts’. They appear in the anthology attempted defiance edited by Toby Fitch. Fly the Coop Like the Hyena Slightest breeze ruffles his hair Sandstone cracks and crumbles below foot The sun crisps his skin His wings unfold Green, grey, blue The colours of Sydney envelop him Shuffling over edge He flies the coop A moment of pure stillness He is not land Not water But it rushes through him The world accelerating Gale plasters his face Chaos reigns free Brace for impact James Ross Year 10 Winner of the C A Bell Memorial Prize for Poetry He traverses suburbia Claws wrapping spray-can He slinks the fence Glances the corner Taxi coasts by like a shark He dives to ground Punches ink to Coke ad Paint oozes, blood from a gazelle Launches and scoots Success running through his veins Wild smile torn across his face Like a hyena James Ross Year 10 Winner of the C A Bell Memorial Prize for Poetry 16
