RUNNER UP

What an AMAZING invention!
Without it, everything was tension,
What an amazing glow,
Helps us see,
And know where to go,
Absolute perfection!
Shows us the depth of this world,
Easy was nothing to see once,
The night sky makes everything black,
But Edison created luminosity,
Made 100% economically,
Now its your chance to use it properly!
THANKS TO EDINOUSITY!

(Edinous, edinousity is a mixture of the words Edison and Luminous/Luminosity)

The Dinosaur Stomp

RUNNER UP

Hear the dinosaur stomp
It goes roar – the crushing dinosaur
The digger and cement mixer
are going along.
What’s that sound?
The dinosaur is making the dinosaur stomp
Louder than loud! goes the dinosaur stomp
The digger and cement mixer
are going along – to the dinosaur stomp.
The dinosaur needs a dinosaur drink
He wants to drink some lava.
The next thing is the dinosaur stomp
– where the volcano is!
Ra! Roar! Bang!
Ra! Roar! Bang!

Night Time

It was night time in Ziplock Street
I was sleeping while biting my feet
I imagined it was a delicious cake
and then I tried to shake myself awake

When I woke up
I saw a blue and black cup
when I got up
I saw my pup

I looked out into the deep blue sky
I saw the clouds
one looked like a big scary guy
and another looked like many crowds

It made me kind of scared
but then I remembered my best bud
I remember when he and I got paired
I looked out the window and saw my dog jumping on a pile of mud

I listened deeply to the noises of the night
I heard the hoots of an owl
as I stared in awe at the sight

I went back to sleep
and I dreamt that I was starting at the night sky sitting on a log
I woke up to the birds that started to cheep
and the bark of my dog

The Majestic Lion

by Medhaswi Kundu aged 8

The majestic lion is the king of the jungle,
When he walks, all you hear is “rumble, rumble”
While he strides, all stop to look at him,
And his eyes widen slightly just by the rim.

But when he is angry, he is something to fear,
The slightest sound of an animal won’t escape his ear.
All the colour drains out of the animal’s frightened face,
It’s just him and the afraid animal and he starts the chase!

The lion can run as fast as a hare,
So he can run quickly back to his lair.
But to go near him, an animal won’t dare,
If it did, well it would not fare!

The lion is at the top of the food chain,
It survives in the Savannah, where it won’t rain.
Maybe sometimes he will stay in the plain,
But he is short for sure, much shorter than a crane!

The lion for sure is great,
It would get 10/10 on a rate,
Sometimes it is a blaze of fire,
If it catches you for a snack though, the consequences will be dire!

Something Amazing

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

A Magnum Storm

by Maria da Graça Andrade Dias Ferreira de Carvalho aged 17

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.

Not a Happy Home

by Jessica Lily Thompson aged 11

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

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!

The Galaxy

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.

Your Heart

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.
