Stolen phrases

We are learning what a 'stolen phrase' is.  We are reading some great stories written by kids like us and 'stealing' a phrase we really like to use in our own writing.  Awhina described stolen phrases as a 'a group of amazing words'.

This is one we loved from a book called Giddy Goat...  "...was a soaring broom handle of a rock said to hold up the sky."  We thought we could use this phrase to describe other tall things like a mountain, a tree or a skyscraper.
