9. Write your own poem ! If I had wings, I would touch the fingertips of clouds And glide on the wind’s breath. If I had wings, I would taste a chunk of the sun As hot as peppered curry. If I had wings, I would listen to the clouds of sheep bleat that graze on the blue. If I had wings, I would breath deep and sniff The scent of raindrops. If I had wings, I would gaze at the people Who cling to the earth’s crust. If I had wings, I would dream of swimming deserts and walking the seas. (From the English coursebook)
