The Weight of Dawn

2
by Elden Sajo Thomas aged 10

The night lets go in trembling threads of grey
a hush still clings to roofs and sleeping trees;
the air tastes faint of rain, of earth’s slow sway.
While sparrows stitch the silent into pleas
A single sunbeam spills like molten glass,
it warms the frost that clings to windows’ breath;
each shade bends, allows the light to pass
and trades its quiet shape for life from death
We rise , not knowing what the hours will keep,
yet carry in our chests that tender spark – the fragile flame

Whispers of Dawn

2
by Abel Siby aged 10

The morning hums a gentle tune.
Soft light spills across the room.
Shadows fade, the night retreats
Awakening hearts with quiet beats.
A breeze carries tales untold,
Of dreams once lost, of courage bold.
Each leaf that dances, each bird that sings,
Reminds us of the hope each day brings
So pause, breathe deep and let it be.
The world unfolds its mystery.
In every moment, small and grand.
Life whispers softly, take its hand.

If I Could Choose

If I could choose a mom
who takes me shopping
who plays in the pool
who buys me squishes
who cares so much about me
who loves me to pieces
well of course I would choose
YOU!!!!!

My Brother

I wake up to find jam, custard and roly-poly
on the floor

Oh dear, oh dear
What’s going on here?

Chocolate over his face
with cookies on his mind

Oh dear, oh dear
What’s going on here?

More, more cookies, screams my little brother
This is an ordinary day with my little brother

Just and orrrrrdinary day.

Little Bunny

I saw a little bunny go hop, hop, hop
I told the little bunny to stop, stop, stop
It wiggled, wiggled, wiggled from its ears to its toes
Where is it now?
Ah – there it goes.

I Like July

I like July, want to know why?
It reminds me of a swimming pool
It makes me think of a bubbly drink
Miles away from my stuffy school

What a royal scene, so leafy green
The month of July comes to my mind
And the deepest pool
You could find

midnight is alright
because midnight is spooky
but fun for activities like catching a ghoul

ooh look a bunny and a fox
foxes are cool

GO TO BED!!!

Life’s Madness

by Olivia Mason aged 10

life gets faster every day
no time to think, no time to play
hurry, chaos, lots of stress
tension leads to sleeplessness
when will all this madness cease?
where is free time?
where is peace?
