Awesome Autumn

by James Moore aged 11

I feel the Autumn breeze when Summer leaves,
the forest turns from green to gold,
the hedgehogs hibernate from the cold.

I hear the wind and rain,
more often since the Autumn came.

I smell a burning bonfire tonight,
as I wave sparklers bright.

I lift a conker from the ground,
it feels smooth all around.

I taste hot chocolate freshly made,
that warms my hands now that the Summer warmth
begins to fade.

Seeing is Believing

by Emilia Alman aged 13

People say that seeing is believing.
But it’s hard to believe if you can’t see.
People say, ‘Look! It’s amazing!’
But I can’t look, because I’m blind.

If you are dancing with another,
How do you know who you dance with?
If you are lost without your mother,
How do you find your way home?

You know people don’t understand,
But maybe, just maybe, they won’t.
You know that they know where they stand,
But who is left to help YOU?

People say that seeing is believing.
But it’s hard to believe if you can’t see.
People say, ‘Look! It’s amazing!’
But I can’t look, because I’m blind.

The Night

I lay in my bed
I looked at the stars
In my head I said
What a wonderful night

I lay in my bed
I looked at the moon
In my head I said
What a wonderful night

I lay in my bed
I looked at the planets
In my head I said
What a wonderful night

I lay in my bed
I looked at the sunrise
In my head I said
What a wonderful night I had

The Bright Light

What can you see?
Is it the seagulls above?
Or the blue sky’s glee?
Are they falling in love?

Drift away to the dreamland
Full of rainbows and hope
Feet sunk in the glistening sand
This magical beauty, can l cope?

Wish for a peaceful life
where everything will be fine
The virus still runs rife
But stars, don’t forget to shine!

Beauty

Walking through the forest
all I can is a bunches of flowers
waiting for me,
as gusts of wind sway
from side to side
making crispy leaves
swirl down from the battered oak trees.
Water is sliding down the waterfall
as glistens of tweets
and glistens from the nature.

The Sea

The sea likes to splash and plash
it likes to rumble and roar
but beneath that monster
is something much more
It’s home to coral that silently swishes
and fish that like to splish
but people are breaking
the coral’s home
Oh I just wish that
they would leave them alone.

Don’t Burn the Cookies

by Kosio Stantchev aged 10

Bob lost his job
when he burnt the cookies
so left his work but didn’t find a new one.
He was now living on the streets
and only had only a bun.
He started to go crazy
then turned into a monkey
He tried to jump on a tree
but slipped on a banana peel
and bumped into a wrestler.
When he came round his whole body
had turned a purple colour.
It started to rain so he hid in a bin
but then a dumpster truck came
and put him in.
Now he was in the dump and lived there forever.
So that’s why you must not burn the cookies

Giving

I awoke and flung the door
Usual – usual – usual!
I was seeing
a residents never living
was gently, giving
and forgiving

Life Shines

by Christopher Pautz aged 14

Most life burns and shines like our incandescent sun,
While humanity has become the black hole
That absorbs joy and happiness yet also pain and sorrow,
Turning life into a bleak and rainy winter day;
Depressing our future is while crumbling at our feet.

What I See

So this is OUR world,
A world of trauma and despair,
A society controlled by the media,
A world so harsh it makes you shed a tear.

A world were your fate is decided,
Based on your gender or race,
A world of secrets and betrayal,
Were people disappear without leaving a trace.

A world were we are told,
We are too young to make a decision,
Or it’s only just a phase.

Cities full of pollution,
Oceans full of plastic,
Comments full of negativity,
And places full of darkness.

We live in a void,
Blocking out the world outside,
Forgetting the people in need,
Forgetting the world we left behind!
