1. Show, don't tell
2. Senses
3. Similes

  1. i have a object don`t know what it is.
    it`s smaller than a bus but it has 4 windows.
    it can be any can be any color but my ones red.
    it`s smaller than a lorry but wider than a moped
    oh i know it`s a car.
    i have a object i know what it is.

    I always wanted to go on a shining, hot day to a place that has blue and kind of yellow. Play with the smooth yellow thing and go in the gleaming, shining blue liquid. Than I would get out of the gleaming blue liquid and play with a red circle shape. Then I would get something that you can see under the blue liquid to see creatures.

  4. They go spishing and sploshing in the water. They are very hungry do not go near them or they will fight. Try not to walk away that will not help. Just run away as quick as you can.

  9. Maybe you're not good for me but you are as crunchy as nuts,
    I know you're not good for me but you are as spicy as pepper.
    I know you're not good for me but I love the taste of those salty bugs
    I know you're not good for me but you are as long as a stick and as fat as turkey
    I know you're good for me because I see that aeroplane in the sky especially when you crash into Bloody Sauce.
    You know I love Chicken and Chips!!!!

  10. It's as flat as cheese
    It's as ruff as hair
    It's not diliciouse
    I don't go there
    It swoop by me
    It went swirls
    And curves
    UNTIL.....
