Riddle poem by 5G

This week in Year 5 we have been looking at poetry based on our new Theme, 'Humans'. We learnt about riddles, which give the reader clues about the object they are describing. Below is an extract from James' poem which describes parts of the human body in riddles. Can you guess what each stanza is describing?

I am part of a pair,
In the day I grow hot and sweaty.
I am a prisoner, trapped in a leather shoe.
At night, my weights are lifted,
and I relax.

There is only one of me,
I don't seem that big,
but I am larger than life.
I am the thinker, the idea maker.
But I am never seen.

  1. 6F enjoyed trying to solve your riddles. We liked the personification, the effective repetition of 'I am' and thought a good next step would be more adverbs. Well done!
