SENSATIONAL POETRY

The nuts tasted like stones
The meat tasted like rotten cheese
The tea tasted like cough mixture
The people were screaming like witches
As the room went darker and darker
And the storm broke all the windows.

Dawn Lothian

I made a bird out of wood
I made it with sandpaper, glasspaper and a saw
It was sitting on a stone made out of wood
All the bird was coloured with orange dye
And it never saw me because I painted its
eyes closed

What's that smell that smells like wax?
There's some blood upon this axe.
And now there is a smell of cheese.
From the cupboard comes a sneeze.
Is the villain still in here?
Is he hanging from a spear?
Or is he hanging from a peg
Upside down by his left leg?
