The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Polywash

Light’s spectacles
Fingers of white
Darting
Here
There.
You remind me
Of sudden movements
Smiling faces
Goldlike spots.
You keep me guessing
Where
Will you appear next?
Mischievous fun
Above
Below
Around - powerful show.
Surely, this must be
The best use of a
Protractor
In a Maths lesson?
