Look at this child’s drawing of a tree.
Its lollipop top and stick trunk.
It’s not
a chocolate
finger tree
in a boxed
forest.
This tree’s got room.
This child’s got vision
and should be made
Minister of Education.

I like the paired back use of language, the shape of the poem and the sense of irony in the last line.
‘lollipop top ‘ sounds so good I will be singing it in my shower. I love the plea for creative freedom in schools.
Robbie – I always find this perspective interesting – not the third person but the omnipotent “God” eye – and I am sure there must be a technical term for this but I don’t know what it is
Neither do I!
