The secret
Ching Chung Hau Po Woon Primary School, Sin Sheung Ka, Poetry: Group 1
Deep in the earth
With the worms and the moles
lived a secret –
small,
oval,
brown;
at the end of town.
Came show bees,
frost-flowers,
tipple-tail happy rain:
but deep in the earth the secret snored,
again and again
and again.
In his airy palace
King Sun smiled;
– he knew
of the secret!
and he laughed,
gleamed
waltzed in the sky!
Form deep earth
Where are slithery silvery silvery worms,
there came a shoot;
And down in the moist dark deep,
Where are sleek brown beautiful moles,
there came a root:
then out in the tipple-tail happy rain
the secret grew,
a leafy brain.
The secret wasn’t like you;
It was like me.
You can guess what the secret was?
Yes, an oak. A tree!
