The Nike Soccer Ball
By Mel (Year 2, Abbotsford Public School, Poetry Object 2019)
I woke up from dreaming of a Nike soccer ball. I opened the door and there it was! It whispered to me… “I am from Argentina. I was once owned by Lionel Messi, the best soccer player in the world. I am soft, bumpy and a little hard. I smell like grass and dirt. I sound like a cat that is really, really quiet. I look like a really round handball, but only bigger. I feel like the softest ball in the… UNIVERSE!!! I taste like salt and people’s yucky feet."
