My trip to London
Was full of fun
We went all over the city
Into bookstores
And onto the Cutty Sark
We saw Saturn from the royal observatory
We went into the 02
We took pictures of Big Ben
And we went on the London Bridge.
We saw the Natural History Museum
And the British History Museum
We saw the biggest M&M store in Leicester square
And a Lego Big Ben in the Lego store
We saw the London Eye watching all over the city
From across the River Thames.

Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
Join the crew
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I’ll have a sip too
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
It makes me go to the loo
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I knew it was true
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I’ll get myself some Iron Bru.

The winds blowing strongly about the place,
Imagine like freezing.
Although the temperature is less than 10
I wear my warm cozy jacket but it’s still cold.

Also in Los Angeles now
There are deadly wildfires

I haven’t seen the snows.
Because I might freeze.
I feel cold every time when it’s winter.
And I go to UK instead.
It’s freezing in Edinburgh and London.

screams ring in my head
I can’t sleep
the memories of bombs and guns
all come back to me
my family comfort me
it does not work
the air sirens go off
my father was taken
but not forgotten
for I am a soldier

There is a big, huge elephant
A small infant
Grows to be a big, huge adult
Some small homework
It gives me a smirk
How it can grow into a bigger work
A teeny, tiny car
Is way more far
To become big road
It is not easy to make tea
In a sea
For a ship
A lumen
Of humans
Get into a big plane
So you see these big things
Bring small thing with them as well

I am a bird.
I live in a nest with big leaves.
I like to eat worms.
I love to sing songs as loud as can be.

I can fly very high in the sky.
I am scared of loud noises.
While I can escape from dangers without you seeing my eye.
I am a bird and I will always be.

I am an ocean
of shining fish;
I am an ever
growing universe;
Your secrets confide in me;
I conceal the mysteries of space;
like a dreamland
of fluffy clouds;
wishes and dreams
float around in a never-ending abyss;
my beauty is a cover
for the darkness inside

The arctic white crystals,
descend and tickle each surface;
grass, stone, wood,
each flake unique.

Image the sway of it,
six sided beauties spin down,
a soft hit on the ground of glitter.
Blissfully swishing,
gracefully gliding.

A rush of snowflakes drop,
as the flurry never seems to stop,
the crisp air rejoices in the nipping wind,
snowing glitter,
blowing bitter,
as a blank canvas forms on the glistening ground.

Suddenly a chance of fortune strikes,
right before a child’s eyes,
as the incessant snowfall flurries and flies,
a sudden silence. Then cheering.
Children rush to the door.
Frantic hands, wrapping layers,
rushing outside,
their joy echoes as they play in the purest white,
building, sculpting, carving, creating,

and memories engraved in their small minds,
their laughing, a voice that rings in the dark,
as the blessing glides gracefully,
over their protected bodies,
a snowy paradise behold.

Swimmers, standing on the diving blocks,
Waiting for the call;
The silence and tension in the air was deafening,
Even the chatty ones fell silent.
The birds had stopped chirping
And the wind had stopped howling.
I myself was on the block,
Calming myself down.
All of a sudden,
The referee called out,
“Take your marks!…”
The tension grew more and more,
As our muscles tensed. “BEEP!”
I lunged forward with all my might,
Ignoring the pain and shock
As I entered the water.
I broke through the surface and gulped the air.
I raced through the water,
Feeling the adrenaline
Run through my blood.
Our powerful arms moving,
Gracefully and aggressively.
My chest burnt,
And my body shuddered with exhaustion,
I felt like I was suffocating.
Fortunately, I turned to breathe to the side
When out of the corner of my eye,
I noticed Gabriel and Diana encouraging me
And I didn’t want to let them down.
So I kicked my legs harder than ever,
And moved my arms so quick
I thought they were a blur.
I was close to the end,
So I sped up;
Faster and faster I went,
When I was near the flags
I used every bit of energy left inside me,
And sprinted to the end.
My hand whacked the wall hard
As I finished.
I gasped and splattered heavily,
Feeling the throbbing pain in my head.
As I unblocked my ears from water,
I started to hear
The London Aquatics Centre erupt with cheers and applause.
I could see the proud look in my coaches eyes;
I blushed with pride
As I noticed that I had come first!
I slapped the water, feeling overjoyed and triumphant,
Yet overwhelmed and fatigued.
I climbed out of the pool,
Feeling like a queen.
I was soaked to the bone
But I didn’t care,
I did it!
I had reached my goal!

A note to swimmers:
Never give up,
Never slow down.
With true and hard work,
Anything can be accomplished, won or done.
If you really have a dream,
Go for it,
And never fail to the ground
When times are tough.
Get out of your cage and soar up in the stars.
