Yellow is the sparkle of the sun
Feels like listening to the song “Happy”
Looks like the perfect detail on a dandelion
Tastes of the nice pop of candy corn
Reminds me of the fluffy taste of marshmallow peeps

My first object is a soccer ball. It is red and blue, and it has a Barcelona logo. It smells like feet. When I hit it on the ground, it has a different sound from the normal ball.

This object is perfume. It is a rectangular prism glass that has a golden colour cap and a very sweet smell when used. I got my perfume a month before I came to Australia and I first used it when I was in the Jordanian Airport before going to Australia.

This towel is from when I was born, when the priest baptised me. My mum put me in the towel, the colour is white, it was so big and has my name on it. I was crying but when they put me in the towel, I stopped crying. Until now, I still have it.

This object is a doll and I have had it since 2010. I named her Akoara. It has pink hair, it is a mermaid and when you wet her hair it turns to purple. She has a pink, green and yellow tattoo on her arm and around her neck.

This object is a bracelet, which is like a zip. I have four of them and every one has a different colour. It was a gift from my dad on my 11th birthday. I haven’t moved it from my hand from the time that I first wore it. People like to ask me about it.

The first time I went to the dentist, I was very afraid, and I thought, “It can grow again?”

I have my collection of perfumes, I love all of them, and I also had my favourite perfume but I forgot the brand. It was the oval bottle, it has the silver colour wrapped around the pink in the middle.

Chalkboard screeches
s shivers running down my spine
 taking the bins out at noon 
so tedious

Getting clapped at twice
 my mother waking me up
 clapping twice 
makes me get ready.
