Happy Father's Day to all you DADS!!

Here is a collection of Room 7's OCTOPOEMS for their dads.
An Octopoem is a 8 lined poem, describing the person as a colour, season, room, type of weather, item of clothing, a piece of furniture, a tv programme and a type of food. 
ENCOURAGING the use of adjectives to add description to the poem. 

ESTHER:
Dad is sunny yellow,
He is the crinkly mid-Autumn
In a good library book,
He is a graceful breeze blowing past me
A woollen jumper,
A comfy old arm chair
He is ONE sports
Crackling bacon on a plate. 

TYAH
Dad is shiny yellow
He is the Summer time
In a clean dairy
Dad is a shiny sunny day
A tight tuxedo
A comfortable bed
He is The Simpsons
A juicy MacDonald's burger.

HARRISON
Dad is the lightning blue,
He is the cloudy Summer
In a hot Australian pool
Dad is the hot rain
A thick raincoat
A giant tv
He is the NZ News
A melted chocolate

FERGUS
Dad is magical blue
He is the boiling Summer
In an awesome hotel
He is freezing Winter
A silky cloth t-shirt
A LG life's good tv
He is Homer Simpson
A big chunk of meat.

PETRA
Dad is ocean blue
He is the bright Summer
In a musty dusty workshop
He is a yellow summery day
A dark black pair of sunnies
A giant homemade worktable
He is the ITM Fishing Show
A hot fish curry

JET
Dad is sparkling blue
He is the warm Summer
In a hotel room
He is the hot sun
An old singlet
A tough fold out couch
He is CRC Motorsport
A big juicy steak

LIV
Dad is bright joyful green
Dad is the warm great Spring
In an awesome fun Greytown
Dad is the cold winter
A green and blue suit
A soft nice furry couch that is red
He is the morning news
A yummy big carrot cake. 

ANNABELLE
Dad is dazzling ocean blue
He is the cozy Winter
In a gruesome shed
He is partly cloudy
A comfy armchair
He is The Simpsons
A juicy lamb chop (yum!).
