We have survived through English, Irish and maths
By utilising our thinking caps
Let’s start with Irish
It is like an never ending virus

Next up English
Should we even be speaking this?
What’s next? Oh maths!
Let’s not even talk about that

History. Why his story?
And not her story?
Oh, and science
Don’t knock it till you try it

Now the best one yet – PE
We tumble, we leap, we roar with glee
Anyway what I am trying to say is
Get out there and do it your own way.

Hunting

0
by Eva aged 12

Harnesses have been taken off
Under the Earth’s crust bones are buried
Not much life in sight
Though the gun and dogs are ready
I could hear the growling of the drooling dogs
No-one else around, hunting, grunting , running ,bleeding, screaming, fear, loss, growling
Gone. I was shot down with a single bullet and torn apart by dogs.

Our Goals for the World

0
by Bogdan aged 12

There shall be something to eat
No one remaining feeble or weak
People wasting our supply
While the less fortunate beg and cry

There should be health
Not acquired by wealth
We should be able to acquire
Not dream and desire

Everyone should have a drink
Emptying the glass to the brink
We should not use resources to extinction
It will lead to severe malnutrition

We deserve to all be seen
No matter where we have been
We should raise awareness
It means worldwide fairness

Flying

by Jordan aged 12

I saw the moon
One windy night
Flying so fast
All silvery and white

Over the sky like a toy balloon
Loose from its string
A runaway moon

The frosty stars went racing past
Chasing her on
Ever so fast
Then everyone said

“It’s the clouds that fly
And the stars and moon.”
I stand still in the sky
But I don’t mind

I saw the moon
Like a toy balloon

Nothingness

by Barnaby Horn aged 11

I don’t know what to write.
My brain can’t rhyme.
I sit and chew my pencil
Wasting all my time.

Rain

by Annabel Horn aged 8

Pit pat on the path, rain falls on the grass.
I splash and I play and rain surrounds me.
Pit pat, pit pat on the grass.

I Think…

0
by Harrison Pittaway aged 8

I think that grass should not be green.
I think that everybody should live forever.
I think everyone is a winner.
I think that nobody is a loser.
I think that everyone can be treated equally.
I think that everyone should be kind to one another.
I think that we should treat nature how humans treat other humans, including plants.
I think that people need to put effort in things that people in need would like us to help with.
I think that everyone should be a kind person.
I think that everyone else is as important as I am.
Whoever is reading this poem, go and be a good person.
Go be who you want to be.
Be yourself.
Believe.

Longing to Meet New York

1
by Anaaira Singh Pradhan aged 11

She stands where the city can be seen, yet not entered.
A skyline held like breath across the water.
Windows began to blind, awake one by one,
A language she almost understands.
She loves it without touching it,
Loves the way you love something,
You cannot yet afford to need.
Money was the only wall stopping her from meeting this beautiful creature.
A mystical, enchanting being known as New York.
It was a place she’d never been to,
Yet she felt like she had lived there all her life,
She sat there, having a peaceful conversation about how she longed to meet New York.
Yet she was stuck having a conversation with it from afar instead.
She had waited years to meet New York, introduce herself to New York and more.
Now that New York was in front of her, she still struggled to meet.
She began to work day and night, saving bit by bit.
Every time a day passed without meeting New York, a new candle was lit.
She longed to eat food in a fancy restaurant with a golden fork
Or see the huge digital billboards
She just had to get a little closer and enter New York.
She longed to show New York what she had.
Yet every time she got close,
She heard the heavy, rapid heartbeat of New York.
Though she had never met New York, she loved it and it just motivated her more,
She longed to break free from the jail of finance troubles,
Yet the bars kept getting stronger.
She longed to go to the places where New York smiled,
She longed to go to the places where New York was happy.
She longed to meet New York.
Yet she saw New York blink, the lights always began to blink once and then shut.
Until soon after, New York had closed its eyes and they stayed shut.

Wish

by Nate aged 8

I wish I was a tiger proudly living a happy life
I wish I was a pirate sailing the 7 seas
But most of all I want to go on adventures
Going far and wide looking for mysterious places
and things that I never seen before.

Scarlett is so mean

by Tilly nock aged 7

Scarlett is so mean
She wrapped me up in jeans
She is so mean
I know you will not believe me
So go and see
She will not believe
Here mind
And will not know it was me
Believe me and see
