I speed to school,
‘Cos it really cool.
Some don’t think the same,
‘Cos they think it’s lame!
R.E is easier than some,
Others just think it’s dumb.
English, I’d say is fine,
It always needs a line.
Formtime is fun,
Others just feel they are done.
Computer science is best,
Even better than a simple test.
The cold wind, the frostbite, the soaking wet feet
how I wish I was curled up in bed
wrapped up in my quilt
soft pillow squashed under my head
Ten minutes to go, I’m sure I can make it
my home is almost in sight
I walk a bit faster, cold wind in my face
I pull my coat around me so tight
At last I can see it my house is right there
I rush through the door with a crash
and rip off my coat and take of my shoes
That journey passed in a flash
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Read the blurb first; discover
Don’t judge a person from the outside
Get to know the contents of which they provide
Don’t dismiss a present because of its size
Because inside could be a wonderful surprise
In literacy lessons we annotate and unpick
We don’t just understand the test as fast as a click
We read, learn and understand
It’s the same with new people, so give them a helping hand
Carry your past with you
Talk about it too
But don’t let it consume
Every small thing you do
Look to the future; be strong
Of course, you’ll make mistakes; get things wrong
Believe you can, have some vision
Let’s stand together and stop social division
WINNING POEM
As the sunflower stood tall
everyone around started in amazement,
the sunflower was tall and stood in pride,
it was beautiful,
the sunflower was like the sun
in broad day light its beauty covered the world
The leaves soon started to fall off the sunflower
as the autumn season came,
but the sunflower still stood tall.
C are about my community
O bey the government rules
V isionary future without the virus
I magine life back to normal
D iscover the cure
1 million people dead world wide
9 the age I hope to be when it’s all over
The glistening sand beneath our toes
As the water always flows
Donkey rides all day long
Happy children singing songs
Scarborough beach is so much fun
Rolling around in the sun
As the ocean swiftly waves,
Birds fly above,
The water glistens in the caves,
Calmness above.
Colourful fish swim underwater,
All shapes and sizes,
They travel to their joint,
As they meet others at the next point.
The sea creatures travel throughout,
Pieces of weed dancing at the sea floor,
Coral shines vibrantly in the sand,
Shells sit at the bottom of golden land.
All at their best,
Ready for an adventure,
Time comes fast,
They all set of at last.
Stray hairs escaped from Chrissie’s tight bun, flowing wildly as the incongruous wind blew at her face, yet her face still permanently glazed in sweat from another exhausting day at work. Chrissy picked up the pace, determined to be enclosed in the comfort of her flat. She took a deep breath of cold spring air, it prickled her cheeks and made her eyes well. Through half a distorted vision, she caught a glimpse of a vibrant pink bird fly by the gloomy grey clouds.
As her eyes focused she realized that it wasn’t a bird, after all, it was a vibrant cherry blossom fluttering around in the merciless wind, she raised her head a little and saw that it had freshly fallen from a large tree with long hands stretching high into the sky, which had begun to clear up. It was a perfect heart, emitting a soft pink glow. It continued dancing high in the sky, never faltering to change altitude. It was rather hypnotizing, Chrissie strained her neck to watch it prance around the air, suddenly realizing she had come to a halt.
She turned her back to the silky blossom and saw acres and acres of lush trees standing like soldiers’ in formation down the long road she’d hiked. Each soldier clothed in beautiful blossoms bursting out of every inch of his long limbs, droplets of water trickling down steadily from petals poking out.
Chrissie turned slowly, taking in this magnificent sight, inhaling the cold air. The comforting cold was so refreshing, she took another deep breath and saw that rays of golden sunshine were starting to pour through the clouds looming above.
Leaking through branches painted with pink.
Her eyes searched frantically for the cherry blossom which was previously dancing in the sky. It didn’t take long for her to find it, it was in hindsight. Floating just a few feet away, in line with her hazel brown eyes. She watched it elegantly sink to the ground.
Chrissy strode forward and glanced down at the cherry blossom, resting so tranquil on the cold damp ground. She took another step, her buckled boots crushing the perfect pink heart on her way.
The sunshine seeped into the floor, and the sun retreated to the safety of the eerie clouds.
