Music

by Raya Pal aged 10

A sweet melody fills my brain
When it comes there’s no pain
It gently trickles down my veins
As pure as July rains

It frees me from my moans
And swiftly shatters all my groans
And rocks me out of my gloomy clones

So music is my friend indeed
It comforts me when I’m in need
And drifts me off into some heavenly street

The Moon

The moon is like a twirling mirror in the dark, inky sky.
The moon loves me, loves me, loves me and watches closely by my side.
The moon is a white fingerprint left by me.
I want to follow the moon but it follows me.
The moon is my friend and it walks me home
and Moon,
I wonder what I would do without you?

Human

We are the smoke that clouds the sky
We are the blade about to end your life
We are the ones who wrote the end
We are the predators with an unquenchable thirst
We are the weeds in a perfect road
We are the virus plaguing the world
We are the wrong unable to right

The Greatest Of All Time

Lionel Messi
A tactical passer
His vision just like an eagle’s
Combined with his mighty shots
The goalkeeper feels like there is a rocket coming towards him
When he dribbles it’s like he is dancing through people
It looks like his foot is glued to the ball
His speed is so unmatched, he is so rapid
The opposition players look like sloths to him
That’s why is the greatest of all time

My Dad, My Hero

He is my Dad
He never makes me sad.
He gives me lots of kisses
And asks me lots of quizzes.
With every step, with every fall…
He lifts me up and helps me stand tall.
He is gentle, he is kind.
But when I am naughty he does mind.
He works hard all day and on the night shift
And surprises me with wonderful gifts.
He shows me the way to light
And I never go out of his sight.
With loving heart and gentle hands
He helps me grow and understands
On Father’s day we celebrate you
For all the love support and guidance true
Thank you Dad for being my rock.
Our Hero, mentor and forever lock.
I wish him a very, very happy Father’s day
Though I love him every single day.

Mistakes

by Adelyn Wire aged 14

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard
I told you so
Ladies and gentlemen save your words
It’s a waste, I already know.
I don’t regret a single moment of him
He was what I needed, what I wanted
He was an experience and a lesson.
These points have been made so clear
I don’t need a reminder
Ad I’d hate for your limitless words to be wasted
On something oh so useless.

Myself

by Ali aged 11

I’m sat here in my room crying about myself,
I’m thinking of what you said to my face.
How could anyone say something so rude?
Your manners are such a disgrace.
I see the tear marks on my pillow,
And the bags under my eyes,
Because I can’t sleep knowing what you said to me.
As everyone else just laughed,
I can’t stand up for myself because I’m too scared.
So I write my anger through poems,
And tell everyone else to beware

The Horrors of the Sea

by Laura aged 10

The waves getting closer, the cold wind blowing
The pictures on the wall falling
Soon I’ll join the sea
The waves slowly getting closer, my fate has been sealed
But should I die?
Am I not still young?
I’m scared, but soon I’ll be part of the water
The waves, my biggest enemy, crashing against my walls
Everything is broken and crumbled
My time’s finally over now

Lost at Sea

by M aged 10

I thought this was my final day,
staying on top of the cliff the waves kept swishing
like a green leafy river from the Amazon.
I thought no one will ever come to this cliff and save me.
What would they do without me?
Nothing!
I need more expression and more energy
I don’t want to die
I’m still young
I don’t want to die yet.
Dear Moon, please protect my family if I don’t survive this war
I still need more energy
My heart broke seeing my life struggle
I’m still at war with the cliff and the sea
Dear Moon
Please, for the second time
Please bless my family from the darkness.
I feel feckless and fearless from all this stress.
Dear Moon protect me I’m begging you.
it’s time I need to be strong for everyone and myself
I can’t just lose myself because I am at war with the sea
I need more passion for myself
More energy for myself.
The next day the water looked clear like fresh water
My mouth was drooling with silver
Seeing the water looked fresh I felt like frisking into the ocean

A Quiet Collapse

0
by Wealthy aged 10

My vast life long and lived and drank and thrived
but the raging waters crashing my homeland.
Loss is all grieving souls screaming for help
Soulless bodies washed up on the shore
Whimpering families begging for their sons back
But there’s one thing about the sea: it never forgives and never repents.
The crushing harbours and roaring seas, why am I living here?
Where are the long and tall colossal trees to help us?
This is a rebirth of the world.
Fear hits me, shivers down my spine
My courage for standing my ground slowly trembles
I must brace and say my final words.
