Sophia, Ameerah, and many more,
Oh what fun we used to have and now there is no more,
Homeschooling was no fun,
But I had great time with my sister and mum,
I hope the school will open soon,
So my friends and I can have fun again in the pool.
RUNNER UP
As the sun illuminates the morning sky,
the cloudy blue scene rises,
and the chirping of the birds
signals the start of a wonderful day.
Looking into the distance, the forest green trees stand with confidence
as the view is mesmerising and is a true beauty
However this time there was another magical something
that makes the human mind ponder
That something was special
because you don’t have to be with it, you just have to see it
Whether you are near or away,
the feeling doesn’t change
She is able to create light in the darkness
as her smile is like the feeling
of gently blowing a dandelion on a warm sunny spring day
I wasn’t with her at any time by myself,
but I was always behind, thinking to myself
how today has been one of most favorite days
Looking back you realize how much of a gift that day was as
all in one day, God had presented two beauties
As the sun shined and enriched the world
with a feeling of joy,
her laugh and presence had brought a feeling of happiness
throughout a peaceful and soothing hike in the mountains
She is like the sun
and not just any sun
but the sun that shines on a bright summer day
and reminds you, today will be beautiful
and I don’t know if it’s her warm smile
her amazing facial expressions
or her comforting wave, I just light up when I see her
IT’S HER IT’S HER IT’S HER
I also really like her company as she just brings a positive vibe, and she is also really good with little kids
It’s always cute and funny to see her interact with them and one can just watch and be amazed
and I mean one might say, you definitely like her, but nah, that’s not the case; it’s simply sheer happiness towards someone I really admire
to be honest, I have only talked to her in person like what, four times? and heck I trust her and have no issue bringing anything up with her
she is honest and supportive, and one of the things I appreciate most about her is her curiosity
you know the classic question, who would you want to travel the world with, well without a doubt, she is definitely someone I would love to travel with
She seems adventurous and like someone who wants to explore and see what’s out there
I also forgot to add, she always gives a little wave every time I see her and man does that make my day, and even though she is like a billion miles away and I also don’t care if a wave is the smallest thing in the world, her wave seems so natural with her smile and makes me feel as she really cares and wants to say hi
yes I know I don’t always have the guts to tell her all of this because what if it’s too much, or it’s not the right time, and I just, I’m not sure; it could just be me, and she doesn’t feel this same happiness, and yes I want to ask, but I’m afraid I will be told something bad and possibly make things awkward and weird
but maybe this poem will help me with this
maybe this poem will help me convey what I feel through an art that I understand
because at the end of the day I really admire her and I hope she knows that; she truly means a lot to me
Me and my friends
We can play all day
Even in the spring month of May!
We would go run
On to the yard
into the path
Where we walk
sensibly
When we’re in the
wooden house where we
planted flowers
we will sit down
and then we can go play on the trail!
If we want we can help each other
with the monkey bars!
Then we’ll go down the steps
and run on our yard
To go play football!
Now we are playing..
Who will be in Goal?
I hope we all win
with a draw!
at end the of the game
here’s the score,
It was one all.
And we were all are gone from the score
because we liked it that we
had a draw!
That was fair without a doubt!
And then we were going to
a shout for our tie
for the endgame score!
Some of us wanted to play some more!
but before we did we needed to run!
We had to much fun!
The thunder sparks
Because his parents cry
He invited his friend lightening
Together they work as one
That is how it is for me
All I do in this lockdown
Is from the support of everyone
I need not to look for any other paradise
For with them by my side always
I’m already in a paradise
Some days during this pandemic were the hardest days
All the bad lucks I skipped
Came back for revenge
And it seems all has turn upside down
Not a single light at the end of the tunnel in this lockdown
I felt like crying
But tears wouldn’t drop
For I have cried all I’ve got already
But when mummy came and consoled, I felt like
I’m already in a paradise
Having friends around in lockdown
Could be so noisy for everywhere is quite
But when they are not there to noisy up everywhere
It looks like an abandoned island
And the only thing that made
It come back to life and turn into
A place where people relax
Was when i get together with
Family and friends and i could feel
I’m already in a paradise
The sweetest moment of all
Is the moment I get to read
My favourite ballad with friends and family
And I don’t want any other paradise for
I’m already in a paradise
RUNNER UP
Me and my friends
We will lie all day in the sun!
And if we get bored we’ll go
On the monkey bars and help
Each other until we get it right!
Then we’ll run into the field
Go into our school’s trail into
The wooden hut! After
We will go lie In the sun
And if we need our water bottles we’ll go get our water bottles
And we will run back in our yard! And sit on the shiny
Green grass and drink our water bottles!
When we’re done we’ll put them away
We’ll go into the field and
Go play tennis with the rest of our class!
After we’ve played tennis
We will need to get a drink
And go into the lunch hall
And get our lunch but first
We need to wash our hands
With soap really well so we can have lunch
Now, we can get out our lunch bands
Or we can get our lunch boxes
Now let’s walk sensibly
Into the hall and let’s sit down
We go and collect our lunch and
If we want we can get some salad and bread
And some fruit
Let’s go outside!
Oh! I wanna play basketball!
Me and my Dad
Were very very bad
We stayed up until nine
and we drank red wine!
We ate some sweets
and had quick peeks
We looked up at the sky
And saw some stars
I even thought I saw Mars
Because of the red
It was like a lava bed
Me and my Dad huggled
And we giggled!
We saw some little meteors
When this all happened my Mum was going to sleep
Something in my body felt like I had to leap!
But I did not
I had to be calm
So I could hug my Dad arm to arm
I calmed down my excitement
And felt a little frightened
But the wonderful sight of meteors lit up the sky
Just like my heart.
WINNER
It has been a lonely time,
I haven’t seen my friends and family and it feels like a crime.
I’m so sad I have run out of time on this competition,
I feel like a really bad spy on a really bad mission.
Why can’t I concentrate on my school work?
WOW, my brother’s always there what a jerk.
I can’t believe I’m always tired,
If there was a job to sleep all day I would definitely be hired.
If that wasn’t enough, if I get moody and tired I will be rough.
It has been a lonely time,
I haven’t seen my friends and family and it feels like a crime.
All I do is watch Netflix, I’m loving Riverdale,
I’ll try to stay awake but I really will fail.
I love my family and love my friends
I will love them till the end.
It has been a lonely time,
I haven’t seen my friends and family and it feels like a crime.
A LONELY TIME, IS A CRIME !
Now we do not go to school and we rule
Then we had to go to school and try not to be a fool
Now we distance and try to make an existence
Then we danced around and had a party
And got really crafty
Now people lie in hospital beds moaning and groaning about their heads
Then not many people in hospital only ones who were not so cool
So here is my poem about then and now
And until things change i would just like to say chow!
I come back from a place,
Untie my shoes and lace,
Wash my hands for twenty seconds,
That’s what the scientist reckons.
Place my backpack away,
Go on my iPad till the end of day,
Tortellini was what I choose,
Then I hear amazing news.
Starting tomorrow, for the next two weeks,
It was so quiet, you could hear mice’s squeaks,
I got to go school I was so happy,
I was too excited, I started to get yappie.
The next day at school was so joyful,
When we could play, I was too playful,
I got too see all my best friends again,
Too bad I won’t get license with a pen.
But when the weeks were over,
My heart sank like the wrong lover,
Then my mom told me about summer school,
Then I knew that COVID was starting to end,
Because that is the rule.
