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

 

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

by Ishanvi Bhat aged 9

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
