Superlatives

0
by Ziggy Gomes aged 8

You must be the biggest, the boldest, the best,
superlatives are what you need.
If you want an Olympic gold,
if your dream is to succeed.

Highest, furthest, fastest, longest,
it’s what champions are for,
quickest, hardest, toughest, strongest,
tune your mind to more.

Hungriest, meanest, leanest, keenest,
but you can win in other ways,
friendliest, fairest, funkiest, kindest,
better ways to spend your days?

Leaders

0
by Lewis H aged 12

The leaders of families,
Of counties and towns,
The ones with the power-
that can bring a place down.

But it’s not just the place, it’s the people too,
They are the ones who are forced to feel blue,
To suffer at mistakes,
Lives upon lives,
And yet we wonder,
Why carry knives?

For safety, security.
Things that they have,
But not us,
Never us,
That’s different, you see?

But the rulers that cause this,
Don’t turn a blind eye,
They think it’s fine for us to fight to survive.

So just remember that corruption is real.
It is in our leaders,
They don’t feel what we feel,
They are the true mis-leaders.

Llama Drama

by Isla Bengtson aged 9

Did you hear about the drama?
Well, it was a herd of llama!
Dashing through the streets so fast,
Breaking all the window glass.

I saw them, friends, I saw them all,
Rampaging through Holmes Chapel Hall.
Eating this and eating that,
Even nibbling someone’s hat!

Then into the market square they came,
Ruining everyone’s fun and games.
Finally, POOF! They were gone,
And the people sang this silly song:

“No more llama!
No more drama!
Let’s all hope this town is calmer!”

Whispers of Spring

by Blake aged 10

Spring is like a mysterious, magical magician,
waking up the world with bursts
of Technicolor dreams and life.
Flowers open their delicate petals
like they’re stretching after a long, deep sleep,
and the trees breathe out fresh, dewy, new leaves,
whispering secrets to the wind.
The sun beams down gracefully
warming everything in sight
with a kiss of happiness,
while the breeze dances through the air,
tickling everything it touches.
Birds sing melodies
that bounce happily from branch to branch,
as if spring itself is singing a joyful song.
It’s a time when nature seems to be alive,
playful, and eager to start a brand new adventure. ​

A Christmas Warmth

Snow lies covering the grass
Frost illuminates the bushes all around
Icicles cling like crystals falling down
Christmas warmth gathers all around

Clouds

by Kavya Morde aged 10

Wet, rainy, snowy, up in the sky
Saying hi to birds who are flying by
So harsh, with lots of rain
Sometimes even a hurricane
Cloud, cloud, how I love you so
Cloud, cloud, how I love you so
Love you so, love you so
Cloud cloud up in the sky
Saying hi to birds who are flying by
Oh I love you so
Cloud cloud I love you so
Clouds clouds

Season of Light

1
by Connie aged 11

Winter presses its thumb upon the world,
Sealing the earth in silver silence.
The year exhales, frayed at the edges,
And Christmas enters as a patient flame.

Homes become sanctuaries of light,
Windows speaking in amber hush.
Time loosens its grip around the table,
Hours dissolving into remembrance.

We unwrap more than ribbon and paper—
Old mercies, fragile hopes, relearned grace.
Christmas is not a day we possess,
But a threshold we finally cross.

My Fun Dad

by Lunasha Limba aged 11

He takes me out to fun places
He works so hard
He loves building stuff
He buys me things too
when he takes me out on weekends
We call it Father-daughter Day
I love him immensely
He truly is the best.

My Beautiful Mom

by Lunasha Limba aged 11

She loves cooking
And she cooks with love
She’s really pretty
She helps me find my stuff
She cleans the house
I help her sometimes
So does my dad and my sister
I somehow like washing the dishes
I find it weirdly fun
I love her a lot
And she is, my beautiful mom!

Life Through the Woods

0
by Lunasha Limba aged 11

The bushes rustling,
Leaves falling,
And trees.
Birds in their nests,
Some birds going into migration.
Bears going into hibernation.
All creatures rest.
Snakes hissing.
And that, is life through the woods!
