Competition Entry

You make me happy
You light up the stars
You will be famous one day
So don’t be sad
I will be there for you
In your heart
Just keep on going
No matter where you are
Just don’t be scared
I will show you the way up

Dear, dear brother,
When we fight I get sad.
But when our room Is messy,
I get mad.
It’s not my fault
that I get Mad.

A frog would like a fly
but dogs may think they’re dry
Bees make honey
Dogs like to be funny

Winning Poem

I blasted into Space in a red rocket.
I saw the stars and the moon.
The stars were shiny and hot.
Little Grandma came with me.
We had a picnic.
Then I came back home
because I missed Mummy.

Winning Poem

I once went on an aeroplane all over the world
And met some funny creatures.
Who can they be?

One with wiggly hair
Called Biggly.
All the way from Scotland.

One with a big club,
Called Flub.
All the way from Canada.

One with a green nose
Called Fose
All the way from Africa.

One with a pink tutu
Called Lutu.
All the way from England
and many more

Winning Poem

Siren screeched
“Not again!”
Where’s my gas mask?
Siblings race past me.
People panic!
I hope Dad’s okay.
Why are we fighting?
The shelter – At last.

So afraid!
So cramped!
Drone of planes deafen me.
Fire and bangs!
Houses crumble!
Mum’s air freshener drowns my nose.
Ground shakes,
I shiver,
Mum sings.
Tea slithers down my throat.
Jam and bread crunch my teeth.
I feel stronger.
Phew – all clear at last.

Don’t want to go
Time to leave
Can’t bear to look!
Screams fill the air,
Rubble and destruction everywhere.
Dark sky descends over destroyed buildings
Gasp!
Where’s our house gone!

Silent tears fell onto me.
Why has this happened?
Broken glass litters the street.
Where do we live now?
What will we eat?
What do we do?

Winning Poem

There stood he, in the Colosseum
Awaiting his dreadful fate,
A sword in his hand a helmet on his head,
Ready for the fight to begin.

The gate was opened, the crowd went quiet,
A ferocious beast entered the Colosseum,
It had blood on its mouth and blood in its mane,
And a roar that made the whole ground shake.

It bounded up towards the man,
With it’s huge teeth hanging out of its mouth,
But the man didn’t move, not one inch,
And with one swing of the sword killed the beast.

Winning Poem

The Middle Ages is my favourite time,
And as to why I will explain in this rhyme.
Overflowing adventure and history,
(Don’t forget to add in mystery!)
Most of the time victory,
Which could also end most bitterly.

Brave knight fighting on,
On until the dawn,
Maidens screaming surrender,
Awaiting their defender.
This is my world,
This is my love,
These are things bad guys want to get rid of.
But they will always fail,
And have to turn to bail,
For my world has a force,
Greater than armour or horse.
My world is supreme,
Sad,
Beautiful,
And everything in between.

Winning Poem

Robert Burns
Early time
In 1750

Tam o’ Shanter
To a mouse
My heart’s in the highlands

Lots of poems
Lots of songs
Great for a rainy day

Scotland, Ayr
In a White House
Lived Robert burns

Working in the fields
All day long
At night to sit down and write

Must have a good imagination
And a good brain
Lots of ideas

Good ideas
Expressing his feelings
Very optimistic

And writes
Very good
Poems

Winning Poem

Greek Gods, powerful Gods,
Zeus was the one who threw lightening rods,
Hades ruled the underworld,
Poseidon’s tail was always curled,
When he got angry he would make the ground shake,
Creating a humongous earthquake.

Hera had a lonely life
When Zeus went to Earth,
To see other women,
He is so in trouble!

Zeus had a daughter called Aphrodite,
A beautiful goddess was she,
Apollo, Athena, Hermes,
To mention only three.

Zeus’s father Cronus,
Ate his siblings whole,
But by the time Zeus was born,
His mother grew very clever,
She had Zeus in secret,
And made him eat a stone
So that Zeus could take the throne.

And Zeus was king of the Gods for many years on.
