A real nice day
to idle time away…

Worthy

by Isabelle aged 13

Being worthy is glee,
Able to fly free
Through ups and downs
We are different from crowds

Our smiles are our lanterns,
All different patterns
All different beings
All different meanings

All of us are worth jewels
These are the main rules!

Time is Prime

3
by Rajvardhan Mor aged 10

Have you ever thought of something
That is really pivotal in your existence?
Well, it is time — hard work and persistence!
A koala bear would say – it is honey,
A rich millionaire would say it is money!
However, I hear the rhythmic bells chime!
I would say that the most valuable thing is time!
Time is prime
Precious like a holy rhyme!

Sometimes, I am bamboozled –
I am exhausted and frazzled
I do not know how to manage my time
As I get distracted by something as simple as squirmy slime
Because I don’t have a time table!
I feel as though I am handcuffed, and not even able.

I want to become a stickler for time!
I want to make the rhythmic bells chime,
I want to accomplish my tasks that are various!
For I am social, and very gregarious!

Time is a melodious rhyme!
Whatever makes a wrinkle in managing our time
Must be shoved out of the way
Thus, I will definitely say —
Time has the ability to make our day!

Time will help you to be a ray of sunshine!
And will make your day go in line!
Thus, we can come to a wrap!
Time is an endless ocean,
We must take each lap!

Changing The Sky By An Inch

by Reyansha Garodia aged 9

If I could restructure the sky,
I’d put up paintings of people who weren’t shy,
I’d talk to the wind, tell it to be calm
I would make the clouds my resting place
Transform them into a car and explore the sky

Skipping and hopping over planes,
Jumping on stars until I wake them up
Bouncing on the moon as if it was a trampoline
I’d rather be a tramp then live on the ground

There is so much to explore in this wonderful sky that we have
Sleep on stars and wake up on clouds
Make sure that I wouldn’t be dreaming
I would never leave this world of ours
That we all forgot to explore

Finally, I would make the night sky grey
So that people get tricked
For all the nasty things that they have done!

Everglades

The Everglades is a type of place
There are tigers
and dangerous animals there
And birds.
The Everglades is dangerous
because there are always thunderstorms

Response to ‘Crumble’ by Lisa Westberg Peters

by Samaira Jain aged 10

Why should I not crumble,
Said the sandstone
I am at sixes and sevens,
Truly woebegone!
Can you ask the wind to stop blowing?
Can you ask the river to stop flowing?
Can you ask the rain to stop pattering?
Can you ask the milk to stop spattering?

Can you ask yourself to stop instructing me
And behaving as if you are busier than a bee?
If you do this,
I will try my best
To change from a man of straw
To a man of steel
This truly is my heartfelt appeal
To stop you bossing me around
I again repeat: STOP BOSSING ME AROUND!

Said the sandstone, with a final sigh!
Let me live, or else I’ll cry
I contain light within me like a firefly
After all, everything that crumbles
Is not weak!
There is great strength in being meek.

Bearded Dragons

by Flora aged 8

Bearded dragons are so cute
Eating-wise they love crickets
Adding something – I love them
Ruby loves them too.
Do you like them?
Eggs they do not like
Death comes for the little creatures.

Don’t make them into a joke
Ruby and me have one each
A is the third word in their name
Good bearded dragons are a real treat.
Ollie is a good name for one
Naughty ones you still would love.

Special Person

1
by Lucy aged 8

I love your face
I love my life
I only love it because you’re in it
You run around when you have lots of space
You’re sweet and sour at the same time
You can’t understand me and I can’t understand you
But if we could I tell you a lot like how sweet you are
And how you brighten up my day
Oh look it’s spring and is also May
Let’s play outside and have fun
Running around in the sun
You may hate water and I love it
But that doesn’t stop me from loving you

You are my one and only cat

Friends

Friends can be noisy, or quiet and nice,
Friends can be clean or covered with lice.
Friends can be weird, and eat orange pips,
But they’re always there with a bag of chips.
So you need a friend, old or new
Cos’ they’re always there for you
When you’re feeling blue.

Fairy, Fairy, Little Fairy

Oh fairy, oh fairy, oh dear little fairy
how small you are.
You help all animals near and far
to live and to thrive throughout their life
and even though some boys and girls do not respect you,
I will never ever let your species die out.
So come, little fairy, and help me change the world!
