Paul Cookson's staggeringly versatile range as a performance poet is fully displayed in this new collection. Humour, danger, wonder, surprise are the elements underlying his work. The collection contains some poems that need to be shouted and some that have to be whispered very quietly. There are many interactive poems in which a whole class or group of children can participate.



BEEP BEEP ! WHOOSH!




A great one to do with a high pitched "Beep Beep" and an extended quieter "Whoosh!"







Silver saucer shining bright



Flashing beams and laser lights



Beep ! Beep Whoosh!



Beep Beep! Whoosh!







Faster than the speed of sound



See it spinning round and round



Beep! Beep! Whoosh!



Beep! Beep ! Whoosh!







Dissipates, evaporates



Hovers, dives and levitates



Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
