The Storm

0
by Martha Macdonald aged 9

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!

Nature

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.

Cycle of Seasons

by Bilal aged 11

As winter quietly goes by,
Animals greet autumn’s sigh.
When birds take flight in the sky,
Flies find new ways to pass the time.

As the heat intensifies and grows,
The lion roars, and summer glows.
People long for a breeze,
But not enough to make them freeze.

Summer finishes in a flash,
And winter begins its reign at last.
Coats come out for snow and rain,
Nature’s cycle starts again.

Spring arrives with flowers bright,
Bringing warmth and pure delight.
Nature wakes from its slumber long,
And birds return with cheerful songs.

Tree

I’m hiding
up a tree and no one
will find me. In hide-and-seek. He
has found everyone else but not me. They
will be looking everywhere for
me. They will never ever
never ever
never
ever
ever
find me
never ever ever
ever ever ever ever ev…

Sloths are Fast

by Maja Wilson aged 10

Did you know that sloths are very fast

Did you know that sloths have an occasional blast

Did you know that their speed lasts

Did you know that we didn’t know this in the past

Did you know that sloths are running past

Did you know that sloths are very fast

The Cut that Always Bleeds

1
by Nina aged 11

The cut that always bleeds
The cuts that no one sees
The cuts parents do
The cuts that boys leave too
The cuts that the mean girls leave behind
The cuts that are hidden, they can’t find
The cuts that enter deep in your heart
The ones that stay slowly tearing you apart
The ones that linger and sting too
The cuts that bleed because of you
The cuts that don’t care
The cuts, deep and bare

What Are You?

by Charlotte Van aged 10

You are a snowy mountain, freezing anything in your path, as icy as a polar bear’s coat.

You are the deep feeling of a never growing plant, dark stars and still planets.

You are the distance between an exhilarating sun and a moon full of secrets.

You are a slice of imagination, filling your brain with myths and legends.

You are a vivid taste of joy, bringing bliss to whoever you meet.

You are spring, with a radiant sun, kids having fun and one single wish.

You are Christmas, no matter the weather you always fund a way to make people smile.
