Fireworks

Bang! Pop! Fizz! go the fireworks,
A crackle! Comes and lurks

I sit under a tree
To look and see

The Bang! Pop! Fizz! of the fireworks,
A crackle! comes and lurks,

Have them on Bonfire Night,
What a sight!

The Bang! Pop! Fizz! of the fireworks,
A crackle! comes and lurks!

The Sun – Part I

Come sun,
Like a big yellow bun

Come sun,
Must weigh a ton!

Come sun,
See what we have won

Come sun,
Let’s have some fun

Come sun,
When we run

Come sun,
Rain – we want none

Come sun,
be a hun

Come sun,
Don’t worry – we won’t shoot you with a gun

Come sun,
Sorry about that bad pun

Come sun,
Now this poem is done!

Silence

by Joshua aged 10

No noise or sound, rethink, relax,
Just eyes on you. Everything’s okay.
Dreadful nervousness, You can do this,
What should you do? You’ll succeed today!

A chance to think,
Focus on some work.
Concentration is key,
To not going berserk.

Echoing around,
Sweating, worried.
Ringing in your ears,
Anxious, hurried.

A Joyful Sunny Day

The sun is beaming happily,
Not a grey cloud on display.
The wind breezes past gently,
On a joyful sunny day.

Birds chirp among some trees,
In a wood not far away.
Cattle graze on fields at ease,
On a joyful sunny day.

Children run and jump about,
As they only want to play,
Hopping on a merry-go-round,
On a joyful sunny day

From Autumn to Winter

0
by Arav Iyer aged 10

Paintbrushes swing into action,
Coating leaves with hues of yellow,
Spreading vibrance, seeking attention,
And the weather’s becoming mellow.

Days turning shorter,
Slowly reducing the daylight,
Darkness starting to take over,
Promising long wintry nights.

Nature’s colourful artwork
Soon starts to disappear.
Leaves fall off the branches and trunk
Before long, winter is here.

Animals prepare for winter,
Digging holes in the ground
And filling them with splinter,
Hibernating, making no sound.

Squirrels bury their nuts,
Hiding their treasured plunder.
Bears retire into their dens,
Falling into deep slumber.

My Blue Sneakers

I have some sneakers bright and blue
Everybody wishes they had this kind of shoe
People are jealous – I am just fine
Hey, look at my shoes aren’t they sublime?

The Horrors of War

0
by Ned Atkinson aged 10

As I march across no-man’s land,
Weapon in hand,

I hear the cries and screams of the wounded.
And I, soon did

See the scars and blood,
Dead bodies in the mud.

What led to this?
Just peace would be a bliss.

All this is un-civilised,
To think, somewhere, killing is prized.

Everyone, just give peace a chance,
Please, no unpleasant rants.

Shoes

Shoes, shoes
I wear you every day,
Shoes, shoes
When people take you off, I say ‘Nay!’

Shoes, shoes
I stepped in some poo,
Shoes, shoes
I take you and clean you in the loo

Shoe, shoe
When you are blue,
Shoe, shoe
I will be beside you

Other shoe, other shoe
When you’re blue,
Other shoe, other shoe
I will be beside you too

Shoes, shoes
Where will we be?
Shoes, shoes
I’ll wear you in the sea

Shoes, shoes
We’ll run from bees
Shoes, shoes
‘Don’t forget the cheese!’

Shoes, shoes
We’ll travel the world,
Shoes, shoes
During the night we’ll be curled
Up under the moonlight,
Let’s hope no one gets a… FRIGHT!

The Sun – Part II

The sun is shining bright,
The sky is big and blue,
I love the morning light,
How happy I am, too!
