This first piece is the beginning of a story about a strange stone shelter...

Here lies the pride shelter with wisdom so wise. Birds humming circling pride rock. Trees watching children going inside the shelter one by one, while rain was drifting down. Go in the shelter, press a bubble. Behind the shelter lies a house, a house of bubbles. Aside the house is a magic dragon playing foot bubble. The place looks mysterious. Everything is magic!

Here is another magical beginning ...

It was a quiet, dreamy sort of day. The wind was blowing in an empty way. No one could hear a bird chirping or an insect buzzing, and the rest of the world seemed slow, slow and distant. Stone slabs dwelled in the mysterious green, looking as if they grew there.

And finally a lovely description of a bright flower in green grass -

The grass is jealous of the blinding light]]> phildavis TalkMon, 19 Jun 2006 14:57:45 +0100 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?3,84,84#msg-84 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?3,84,84#msg-84
The work below is by a year 5 boy who was not the keenest of writers. Using Picture the music opened up the ideas - and the work speaks for itself...


Tears of ice rolled down her eyes, dripping onto her father's grave.
She had nowhere to go. No home, no family and no friends.
Sitting on the icy floor with a frozen soul cracking her heart in half, she smothered the grave with scented flowers. The most exotic and beautiful she could find.

Another child describes standing at the foot of some stone steps...

I stood at the foot of the tree woven steps, the roots played with my shoe laces.

And one more lovely description of roses opening...

I heard roses crack open like a butterfly cracking out of a cocoon.]]> phildavis TalkMon, 19 Jun 2006 14:48:09 +0100 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?3,73,73#msg-73 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?3,73,73#msg-73 Daniel Webb TalkMon, 22 May 2006 16:02:58 +0100
