Activity 2a - Read the poem below:

The Magic Box, By Kit Wright

I will put in the box

the swish of a silk sari on a summer night,

fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon,

the tip of a tongue touching a tooth.

I will put in the box

a snowman with a rumbling belly

a sip of the bluest water from Lake Lucerne,

a leaping spark from an electric fish.

I will put into the box

three violet wishes spoken in Gujarati,

the last joke of an ancient uncle,

and the first smile of a baby

I will put into the box

a fifth season and a black sun,

a cowboy on a broomstick

and a witch on a white horse.

My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel,

with stars on the lid and secrets in the corners.

Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs.

I shall surf in my box

on the great high-rolling breakers of the wild

Atlantic,

then wash ashore on a yellow beach

the colour of the sun.

Think about the sights, sounds, smells, tastes the writer puts inside the box. Why do you think the writer has chosen these things? Note how the last two paragraphs change to become what the box is made from and what the writer will do with the box - why do you think he has chosen these things?
