Competition Entry

In a peaceful town where snowflakes dance,
The essence of Christmas brightens the chance,
Through glowing windows with tales yet to reveal,
Caring hearts come together as winter winds steal.

Shimmering lights adorn the pine trees high,
The aroma of cookies drifts softly by,
Singers gather, their laughter fills the air,
As the magic of Christmas draws loved ones to share.

Stockings are placed by the hearth with delight,
Whispers of hopes float sweetly through the night,
A sleigh bell echoes in the stillness profound,
While stars overhead shimmer, scattered around.

With every gift wrapped, a promise unfolds,
Of love and kindness, and joy that enfolds,
In every heart, this season so bright,
Brings togetherness and warmth, a pure delight.

So let’s toast to the moments that hold,
To the memories cherished, like treasures of old,
May peace fill our homes and love light the way,
Wishing each one a Merry Christmas Day!

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all was quiet about the town

But in our house the sherries and warm cider were going down;

As the evening wore on we witnessed Dad dance

The younger guests stole away for quiet romance;

The whiskies and brandies now available to pour

The children begging Dad to drink no more.

With Santa on his way the kiddies were now sleeping

Mam in the kitchen listening to carols and weeping;

Dad in the garden assembling the new swings

Getting nowhere fast, being one of those annual things;

Finding it difficult by torchlight and with foreign instructions

Well of course we all know there were bound to be ructions;

Frustrated by foreign language and diagrammatic art

The biggest problem of all was that he was very, very drunk;

Defeated and downhearted he clambered upstairs

Never again, he solemnly declares;

The moral of this story is obvious and true

Christmas in Llanelli might not be for you.

It twinkles, it shimmers, it sparkles
As we sit back and watch
Our gorgeous Christmas tree

It shines bright in the darkness
As we sit back and watch
Our red and gold Christmas tree

It brings happiness to our hearts
As we hang up
Our special Cristmas baubles on our pine Christmas tree

The parents secretly smile to themselves
As the children play around
Our magicaly diverse Christmas tree

We chitter in delight
As we tear open wrapping paper
From Christmas presents underneath our family Chrismas tree

Do not cut me, cried the tree, I give you free air.
Under my leaves you rest.
I give you fruits.

If you make me live these will carry on.

Celebrate
We have to wait
For the to time
And there’s lime
So just celebrate

I had a dog, his name was Bog,
He liked to jog along with a frog.
Through the park and over the log.
They played by the bog whenever there was fog.

I’ve enter many competitions
I won 4 out of 11 (not on Poetry Zone)
But that was the past, and I’m trying many more this weekend.
First I’m entering 6 online skill tests
then 2 luck contests
Then I’m doing a competition with a friend.
And this is why people say
“Don’t be nervous, be confident.”
And when someone says that to me, it helps me believe,
I may be bad, but I can be better
And it also really helps.
So, no matter what, just believe.

BOYS think that they’re in control
but us girls have a right
Some boys can be stronger than girls
but today some boys in my class hurt me

GIRLS are preppy
girls are emo
but girls are NOT to be controlled
we are NOT puppets
so stay away because
we will rip your heads off
now leave us ALONE

In the quiet of the night, I sit and pore,
Over pages filled with knowledge, seeking more.
Days of study, nights of restless sleep,
Moments of doubt, and promises to keep.

Words and numbers dance before my eyes,
Equations swirl like stars across the skies.
The weight of expectation, heavy on my chest,
A journey of learning, a relentless quest.

But in this hour, as the dawn draws near,
I feel a whisper of hope, dispelling fear.
For every question tackled, every hurdle crossed,
Is a testament to perseverance, no matter the cost.

With each stroke of the pen, each answer penned,
I reclaim my strength, refusing to bend.
For knowledge gained is more than mere marks,
It’s a testament to resilience, a journey embarked.

The clock’s hands circle, slow and fast,
Moments merge, the future, past,
Each question faced with courage bold,
The pen, a sword, the heart, its gold.

Books and notes, a sleepless night,
The candle’s glow, the dawn’s first light,
Pages turned with fervent care,
Knowledge gained through heart and prayer.

And as the exam concludes, and time stands still,
I find solace in the knowledge, and a quiet thrill.
For success is not defined by grades alone,
But by the courage to face challenges, fully grown.

So here’s to the journey, the struggles faced,
To the wisdom gained and the goals embraced.
For in the pursuit of knowledge, we find our way,
A testament to perseverance, day by day.

Once,
A girl called Abi, went out with her dog,
They were playing fetch, and her dog brought back a red ball
But the ball they was playing with was green
So she shouted, “Tig (the name of her dog) this isn’t our ball,
Go get the green one.”
But someone had written on it ‘Help pl’ with a scribble at the end
Abi got scared and went home,
She was in the forest, so she took the collar of Tig
But with the same pen it said ‘HELP’

Abi ran but she heard a voice singing,
“HELP ISLA, HELP, IT’S ME, HEVA, SAVE ME!”

She hid in a broken tree house for a week
but… her dog ran away
She caught him while crying
The police followed her and took her home.

Years later she gave birth but a week after she died.
When her daughter was 12
She decided to name her self Heva
Since she never had a name.
A year passed and Heva made a doll that looked just like her mother.

A hundred years go by
and the doll is given to another little girl called Heva

But Abi controlled the doll
And she did not like little Heva,
So, she tried to kill her.
First she sat on top of a jar full of ashes
Then her dad died,
then her sister,
and then her.

So.
I guess it was scary?
I’ll tell you more
If you scream
HEVA ABI ISLA
