MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
Although it is online
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
Stop mentioning it all the time
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
Stop acting like you care
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
I don’t need you to be there
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
I’ve done it all on my own
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
Stop screenshooting it on your phone
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
Stop sending it to groups
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE
My feelings aren’t in loops
MY POETRY IS PRIVATE

As the Sun Sets

0
by Ivy aged 10

As the sun sets
Below the valleys,
Children are running home,
Safe and happy.

As the moon rises,
The children are tucked into bed,
Being wished a good night,
And that lone wolf hides away,
Out of sight.

As the sun rises,
The children wake up,
They yawn at dawn,
And they find school is a waste of their morning,
But kids must grow.

And as the sun sets,
All the little kids
Head to bed.

I Put a Spell on my Sister

2
by Eva aged 9

I put a spell on my sister
and then my mum’s mister said
why would you do that?
She might fizzle like smoke or sizzle like coke
or fly in the air or grow really long hair
She might ping like a spring
so I say I don’t care
but then I see a whisp of dark brown hair
It’s mom, oh no, oh yes, sissy cries
Oh lord please help me I cried to thee
I pray just tell me that I’ll see
the light of another day
My mum shouts Eva, what have you done?
Look she’s inflated like a balloon
and looks like she’ll turn into big fat baboon

The Cycle of the Seasons

by Shimmyshimmy aged 10

A new year, a new spring
the blue tits in the trees sing
the clocks change, the sun stays
the lambs skip through the emerald green fields
the luscious trees will will blossom, the magnolias will bloom
the bees are buzzing

Spring is here!

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

Fall

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

Lexie

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

0
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.
