The Book of Spells

It was a bad day for the wicked witch when she lost her book of spells.  The day before, her nemesis, Wally the Wizard, had turned her cat into the size of a cockroach. Her spell book had a spell to make her cat, Colin, big again. Then she said in a deep voice "It must be that wretched Wally again!" She got on her wooden broom and flew quickly to Wally's house. They had a duel of spells known to witches and wizards as a Magic Showdown. She overpowered Wally with her stone spell and flew home again to make Colin big.

I am Japan

A poem by Charlie inspired by Causley's I am the Song:

I am the Shogun that rules the land.
I am the tree that holds the blossom.
I am the pagoda that shelters the people.
I am the fish that makes the sushi.
I am the war that kills the samurai.
I am the metal that crafts the sword.
I am the fist that strikes the punch.
I am the sun that lights the sea.
