A Sundae Sensation

0
by Joy Liu aged 8

Atop this ice cream is golden honey
intended to fill your tummy,
A volcano of strawberry delight
urging you to take a bite,
Brown-hued cinnamon
filled with vitamins,
lots of berry
lots of cherry,
Delectable, delightful
not so frightful,
Pearl- coloured cream
will make you have a good dream,
Doughnuts
pistachio nuts,
It’s the perfect day
to have a sundae!

Before the Freeze

by Reya aged 12

Before the freeze
I would sit outside,
Taking in the gentle breeze.

Before the freeze,
Flowers would blooms
Leaves would fall
Birds would chirp.

Before the freeze,
I didn’t need to bundle up.
The layers after layers
Unneeded
Unnecessary.

But now,
That is no more.
No more cheery songs of birds.
No more bright colors
Smothering the yard with joy.

No more frolicking outside.
Freely, carelessly, blissfully.
Only a thick blanket of white
Covering the joy and laughter,
Bringing with it,
A cold, bleak feeling.

But with that thick blanket
Something new is coming.
A new warmth,
A new feeling
A new way of life.

The warmth of the fireplace,
Of hot cocoa and blankets
Is…comforting.
See, it’s not so bad.
A new season
Brings more cheer,
And wipes away all the fear.

Me and Her

by Nicol Toribio aged 11

Lately had it been you in me in the river above the world
That must be so confusing for a little girl
and then when she smiles I share the laughter the joy and the pride
I’m a disaster
Wat a nice crown and lovely sounds
I’ll save you because you’re so brave
and hair long like waves instead of looking like a cave
and wishing for the day you’ll be as bright as May
and I know your going to need me here with you
but I’m losing myself and I’m afraid you’ll lose me to.

My World

My world is magical, mystical too
You can visit anytime you like even if it is in the day or night

Weather there is cool, it can rain M&Ms and skittles too
Or it can be sunny and there will be food
Really it is cool, much much better than boring old school
Losers are out as soon as they enter
Don’t worry it’s not you kicked out, it’s my enemies who will be

All For Our World

The melodies bend
The stories end
The painted brush strokes disappear
And there will be no fear
The lake sparkles when the sun hits
And the tired explorers sit
The archaeologists reveal the precious things they found
The rain drops hit the roof making a sound
The candles light up
And the shops give our fancy cups
The canvas holders twirl
This is all for our world

Night’s Pride

by Jona aged 10

The wolves howl at the moon.
The sun whispers praises to it too.
Everyone falls asleep.
The moon pats our heads as the night creeps in.
All nocturnal animals walk around,
Roaming the world big and proud.
For then the rain shall start to pour.
Then the moon shall give to the sun.
”Why moon, why moon?
Please come back!
Can’t you stay another day?
We miss you.
I guess it’ll have to wait.
But next time please stay.”

It is Hard to Hide the Naughty Words

0
by Sophie aged 8

When I think to myself it is hard to hide the naughty words
Like bum, knickers, bottom and all sorts
It really is
What if we get rid of them?
No, that wouldn’t work
Everyone would just break the rules
So
What if we lock them up in a jar?
No, that wouldn’t work
They could escape with their power and rudeness
So
What should we do?
What if
We keep them as they are?
But if we do this problem would start over again
That would cause even more trouble
So
I think lets just leave them for now

Lottie is the Best

Lotte is the best and no one can stop me
I’m the best and no one can ever stop me

From far away in the West
To far away in the East

Lotte is the best and no one can stop me

Left Behind

by Reya aged 12

I told you not to
I told you not to leave me
Not to forget me.
But you did.
Now I’m left behind
Never there.
Now I’m left behind
Never by your side.
It was your choice.
Yours only
You chose poorly.
So now,
I’ve been left behind.
Where?
Who knows.
I cannot say.
For only you know.
For it was you
who left me
Behind.

Summer Days

by Amelia aged 12

Summer days,
The sun hangs low, the breeze feels light,
The nights come late, the sky stays bright.
Hair gets lighter,
Skin glows warm,
All within those summer days.

Cars stay parked, we walk instead,
Cold drinks clink while books are read.
Trainers swapped for sandy toes,
Shorts replace what leggings froze—
It’s slow and sweet, these summer days.

Tide rolls in, we chase the foam,
Laughing loud, far away from home.
Ice cream melts before it’s done,
We stay outside, outrun the sun—
Living out our summer days.

Music drifting through the air,
Lean On playing everywhere.
Rockabye by bonfire light,
Ibiza songs late into night—
Our lives on loop, in summer haze.

So here we stay in endless rays-
Forever in summer days
