Dreaming of the Ocean

4
by Farah Karim aged 9

Under the ocean,
Under the sea.
Stood an unknown figure,
But who could it be?

To scaly for human,
Too honest to persuade.
Suddenly the figure came up,
And it was a real mermaid!

You start to black out,
And your goggles start to steam.
As you wake up in bed,
And realise it is all a dream.

Me a Lady

Why is it so hard being me
Everybody are just so busy
So it is just too hard to express myself to anybody
It is hard being a lady
’cause being calm isn’t easy,
Now tell me if it is easy for you
I bet it’s easy only for a few
My mother tells me not to continue
She says, “Don’t be like a kangaroo!”
Maybe I’ll stay this way
I’ll be myself and who I am, okay?

What Is Goin’ On?

Last night I had a dream
I was playing football for my favourite team
I want to be in a rock band as a drummer
We’ll play at festivals every summer
I want a big pond full of newts and frogs
I think they’re much more fun then cats and dogs
I saw an old man with a beard
Who said, ” It is just as I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four Larks and a wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!”
I want to write songs and poems to make you clap and cheer
Maybe I will be famous, like Edward Lear.

Lady bug, lady bug, how do you grow?
By lifting 5 kg weights, why didn’t you know?
Lady bug, lady bug, how do you have black dots on your wings?

My Teacher

My teachers name is Ms French
and she reads her poems on a bench.
But Ms French says it’s in a deep dark dench.
I say how though?
Ms French says it’s shaped in a bow
but it’s still so far low.

Me

Hello, my name’s Izzy
Just warning you I am very dizzy.
When I drink fizzy I go crazy
But after I am quite lazy.
Sometimes I’m very busy,
Afterwards I magically become dizzy.
And I thought it rhymes
Because my name’s Izzy!

I am the Earth
and the Earth is me
each blade of grass
each bit of mud
and each stick and stone

Princess of the Park

Prancing around the park
Bringing light to every dark
Who was the beautiful princess of the park?
She would run around
Passing flowers to everyone
And people in the park, including her, said it was loads of fun.
Amanda was her name.
She was polite and proud
Of the way she pleased her very happy crowd.
She’d dance, sing, skip and spin across the park.
The princess of the park brings joy to every heart.
