Competition Entry

Hot-air balloons
in the spotted sky
full of colours
floating, calm
Unaware of where they are going
when the sun goes down

In the middle of the heavens
a ray of light shone,
through the land of the angels,
just as they flew,
emerged passerby,
a colossal wind that grew.

An infant was spotted.
A child loved.
And just then on the carol
Mr. Nightingale
thanked the trees,
the skies and the seas,
for it all was to be dwelled in once more.

Today won’t be fun
This backpack must weigh a ton!
I really hate this freezing weather,
Mother recommended wearing a sweater.
To my annoyance, my gloves keep slipping,
At this point, I probably need to start running
If I don’t, I’ll be late
If I am, I shall have nothing on my plate.
My thoughts run to the punishment,
If I’m lucky I could live in the tent.
Bruises will appear in one minute,
In my body there’d be no spirit.
My face must have gone funny
For my friend gave me some honey.
Even then I still thought of home
Soon enough I’d be shipped off to Rome

The ocean is massive.
It is filled with lots of sea creatures
for example fish, sharks, dolphins, octopus and everything else.
The ocean is 1,101 km (684 miles)
It is definitely huge.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY POEM. THANKYOU! BYE!

One day someone told me that my dark eyes
were like a galaxy
and ever since that day
I haven’t stopped thinking about it.
I understood that the galaxy represents me
that it belongs to me
because its light warms my heart up
because its stars are my affections,
my friends, my loved ones,
those that are still alive and those that I have lost, they float around me
they all gave me something,
they taught me to smile to life,
to carry on and keep my head up
and to believe in myself without being ashamed of what I am.
The galaxy is my soul,
myself
and only recently I have understood
how important it is to love ourselves first
because there is nothing right
and nothing wrong,
there is only what we feel deep inside
and I feel I am like a galaxy.

They asked me to write about the biggest thing in the world
and I immediately thought of your heart,
that is beautiful and big.
When we are together and I lie down and put my head on your breast
I hear it beating, loud and loud and loud…
I close my eyes
and it is like if I could see it
It has a bright red colour
and it beats just for me.
I would lie if I said that I don’t feel honored
just because you know…
It is not easy to hear a heart beating
for someone like me.

I want to be an Astronaut to see the shooting stars
Upon Mars
And seeing all the planets shine when I rise
Without wearing ties
And seeing all the stars
While eating milky bars
And see what it’s like in a cool space ship
And to be on a little trip
Seeing the moon
On a magic broom

I open my eyes
I look at the sky
A deep breath makes me dream
I see freedom
Tears tickle my soft cheeks
And my heart might die
Thinking about the end of this endless sky

I’m walking to school
Then what do I see?
I see an elephant climbing a tree

I can’t believe my eyes
As I am walking by
This is real, and her name is Lucille.

I go on my way
Walking to school
Then what do I see?
I see a duck flying on a bee

I’m sure this is fake
The bee is called Jake
And the duck is called Cake
Am I hallucinating?

Finally I reach school
And everyone thinks I’m really cool
I go to class
And all my friends are made out of glass

RUNNER UP

My heart is big
It is red and pink
I live in it
I like it
I love my life
I play football with other guys
I want to speak some languages
I want to stay with family
My heart is big
And
I live in it
