A Poem Against Pollution

0
by Atharv Dublish aged 9

A litle flower blooming
Oceans always flowing
Shining bright with lots of light
Dreaming a world without plastic
Or making it into toys that are elastic

A revolution against pollution
May be we can use EVs for transportation
Stop cutting trees please!
Or else no oxygen will release!

The Star

by Mia Salmon aged 9

A white star in the evening glow
looked to the round green world below
and saw a pool in a wooded place
that held like a jewel her mirrored face
She said to the pool, Oh, wondrous deep,
I love you, I will give you my light to keep
Oh, more profound than the moving sea
that never showed myself to me!
Oh, fathomless as the star is far
hold forever you tremulous star!
but out of the woods as night grew cool

leaves crunch
holiday brunch,
falling leaves
bare trees.
Halloween candies
oh so sweet.
late night movies
a scary treat!

Lexie
I love your dark brown eyes
your hair is really shiny
you are really kind

Lexie
you are really considerate
you are really caring
everyone deserves a Lexie
just not my Lexie

Lexie
always love yourself
you are great just the way you are
never doubt yourself

The Cheer Tryouts

by Laynea Tettleton aged 12

The cheer tryouts are soon
I am so nervous, yet I will
stand strong

My schedule is filled
I don’t know how I’m going to sleep
The cheer tryouts are soon
I’m not as nervous, I believe I will make it

The practice is too hard
I know that I’m not going to make it far
The cheer tryouts are soon
I’m not going to make the team, I’m sure

It’s time for the mock tryouts
This is intense–so much pressure
The real tryouts are soon
I’m doubting myself if this is a good idea
I’m not going to make it, I’m sure

Today is the day, that I will fail
So many thoughts running through my head,
mocking me for who I want to be
making me stumble onto the stage
It’s my turn, I’m second
I feel I did horribly

The day passed, I will find out how I did
I told my mom not to expect much
that I will be a disappointment
Then we got the results

The air is full of suspense, making the oxygen dense,
I can hardly breathe
I don’t know whether I made it or not
We opened the envelope
I can’t believe it, I passed the cheer tryouts

I guess I can’t doubt myself
after all
I guess I can’t bring myself down because of insecurities
because of insecurities

So never doubt yourself
because of challenges you face
Never bring yourself down
because of your insecurities

Because no one
is perfect
So be the best version of you
that you can be.

The Storm

Rain, rain,
Lashing, crashing, down on the trees, at its knees, under the trees,
Are the orang-u-tans watching the sea,
Whilst the sea shows her fury,
The rain…
​Splashes…
​​Bashes…
​​​Down…
​​​​And down at the trees.

Wind, wind,
Swirling around just like a tornado ripping around,
Pounding down at the sea, picking up sand from the beach,
Swirling, twirling, in the breeze, is the wind being a queen.

BANG, BANG,
Goes the storm,
Fighting with the thunder as if it’s life or death!
Growling down at the sea,
It’s the fight of a century.

Wonderful Pets

1
by Mist aged 10

Pets can be dogs
Who love us
And offer silent support
In times of sadness.

Pets can be cats,
Who love us too,
They urge us on,
Making sure we achieve our goals.

Pets can be hamsters,
Who make sure we are alright at night,
When we are asleep,
But they are awake.

Pets can be fish,
Who let us watch their soothing movements,
Making sure we are alright,
Even if we never notice.

Pets can be birds,
Who fly,
And some come in twos,
Like those birds who love,
Who are named lovebirds
Or those who come alone,
But love to be with you,
And can be trained to go on your finger,
Who are named budgies.

Pets can be reptiles,
Slowly moving,
Making sure we don’t go too fast.

All pets are wonderful,
Watching us when we are there,
And waiting for us to return when we are gone.

The Cliffs Of Nature

The cliffs of nature are long
Long and beautiful
They are only there for me
Only I can see them
They are so beautiful
They are grey with wonderful green on top
And dark green pines
It isn’t mine
It is nature’s
Only I can see it, yet it’s nature’s.
The cliffs of nature are warm.

The Trees Will Blossom

The trees, oh the trees!
It’s Spring!
The trees, oh the trees!
They will blossom soon!
Spring is on it’s way!
Spring is here!

Spring is a season when the trees,
oh the trees,
will blossom into beautiful flowers of the Earth!
The Earth will help the trees to blossom
and the sun will warm them
into the beautiful flowers that they are now!
Spring!
Oh, how I love you!

The leaves crunch,
I can hear them.
Crunch, crunch!

The leaves swish high above me
Swish, swish.
They cover me warmly.
Swish, swish!

The sun shines, making the wind less cold.
I can feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
