Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.
Air
Air - Michael Rosen
Air
The yawn in the morning filling your mouth
with no one to start you yawning
air in my hair
air in the air
fffffffffffff
The swing in the playground swinging
with no one on the swing to swing it
air in my hair
air in the air
fffffffffffff
The balloon with its skin blown up tight
with no one blowing to tighten the skin
air in my hair
air in the air
fffffffffffff
The open window where the cool blows in
with no one to blow the cool
