I may be young, and not know much,
But I still see the world, and how such
Great ideas are left unsaid
Because I’m told I don’t understand yet
We want to help, but what can we do?
Some children aren’t even allowed to choose
Who they are and who they love
All because they “Haven’t lived long enough”
The world you’re destroying will be ours to inhabit
So if you will, please spare a moment,
If you let your ignorance run wild
How will the world look when I’m not just a child?
No one expected this terrible time
Everyone thought 2020 would be fine
It has been the worst year ever
I want this to be all a dream
Quarantine hit us hard
Harder than I thought it would
I wish COVID would just stay at home
And leave us all alone
I am Amelie,
Clumsy baker, super runner,
Kind shark, helpful panda,
Descriptive wizard, sentence smasher,
I am a poet
As I look in front of me:
Men from all over
Were falling over.
As I look in front of me:
Blood was dyeing the grass ,
And men kept dying because of the gas .
As I look in front of me:
Grenades and bullets demolished
the hopes and dreams of many,
And many people dead, just like private Benny
As I look in front of me:
Fierce Nazis are running towards men with bayonets ,
Oh, here are the Soviets .
War is a serious matter that nobody should forget,
as so many tears and sweat was injected
into Europe and the world.
We will never forget .
Breeze against your neck
In the forest
Rabbits run by
Down by the beach
Seeing past the horizon
Eyeing fish that look yummy
Your eye is seeing
Everything and more
The pink blossom trees
leaves were swaying in the wind
in the morning sun
Now peace and quiet is all I hear
No more machines roaring near
My home might have disappeared
But no more species are being speared.
With the terrifying humans I have encountered
There are finally friendly ones I have counted
Like the ones taking action in their nation
And protesting about deforestation
Pollution began to leave our ocean
And leaving the shelves was palm oil lotion
Then the trees began growing back again
And rainforests filled themselves with rain
The young beings were the only generation
That could defeat pollution and deforestation
Together everybody worked as a team
To rebuild their Earth, their only dream.
Best friends always and forever!
We’ll stay here until the Earth is over!
We love having fun!
Even eat lunch together!
When you are down…
They come to cheer you up
So you can all have a hug!
Even with this time…
It’ll be fine and be gone, in the meantime
Universes are amazing
you and your besties can maybe…
Build a Big universe!
Besties belong together always and forever
You maybe have boy besties or girl besties!
That’s amazing!
Just remember the 25th of December!
Because you can give your presents and exchange
the presents your friends got for you!
The bunting, frozen damp dark
Shivered in fear,
Like a frozen star.
Looking at the kids staring, scared
More playing instead.
He stares down and whispers
“Let me go.“
The wind howling through the gates,
Making the bunting fall and shake
“Help me,” he says.
While the trees laugh and break!
The sky goes dark,
The bunting sad and alone
“What should I do”? he says.
The rain comes, shakes, breaks
The bunting falls…
