Colours• Name: ---• Class: 4M• School: Lunardi• Date: 2010• Place: Brescia

I am green todayI chirp with joy like a cricket song.I am grey todayGloomy and down like a morning fog.I am orange todayLoud and messy like finger paint on the wall. I am red todayHopping mad like a playground ball.I am black todayStrong and tall a great big bear.I am purple today

Bright and happy like a butterfly in the air.

I'm a rainbow todayAll the colors of the world.I'm a rainbow todayAll the colors of the world.I'm a rainbow todayAll the colors of the world are in me.

I am yellow todayI shine my light out like the sun.I am white todaySoft and quite like new snow.I am blue todayCalm as glass and cool like the sea.

Brescia

If you're scared of dying you better Not be scared to live. I've been spending all my days Giving all I can give.

Last night I heard someone walking Through my bedroom door. What they want I'm not exactly sure.

A friendly ghost, Is all I need. […] If you're scared of dying you better Not be scared to live. I've been carrying round a grudge, I think I better forgive

Last night I heard footsteps walking On the attic floor. Got up and I opened up the door.

A friendly ghost, Is all I need.
