An Angel

0
by Aditijain aged 13

She sat there in a lonely corner
trying not to cry with every breath
hiding her lonliness with that
plastered smile
She never thought her closeness would result in back stabbing
How gossiping about her would soon turn
into those dirty minded jokes
She was was used to it
Still she tried to make the sad souls
the most cheerful ones
because she knew how everyone
was up to make people sad
and she knew true essence of happiness
She never wanted to face the crowd again
because she lacked the courage
of picking back those shattered pieces
bringing them to life
She was forced to be so
just because the true destiny
of this cruel world was shown to her too early
that demons came angels
angels came with scars
She wanted to meet an angel
to look how they carried themselves everyday
as day converted into months
and months into years
she gradually became one
who carried herself with
so much of poise
She became angel

True Treasure

by Aditijain aged 13

We had a fight that day.
Yes, we had one
Maybe it was the alert alarm
of our beautiful friendship.
Even though of all the grudges
I still sneaked out of my bed
like any other normal day
ran to Thirteen Cross Lane
which was waiting
for those midnight gossip sessions
midnight laughter and snack parties
I was there waiting for you
gazing up at the sky
and realising how empty I was without you
just like the sky without
those twinkling stars
Suddenly I saw your red vintage car
how happy was I for that very second
thinking that I knew you inside out
but all my dreams shattered when
you didn’t reply to my usual statement
dropped our memory box out from the car
in the middle of the road
and drove away.
I was trying to reach you
Certainly it seemed like a
ray of hope in that dark hell
took that box which meant more
anything which was nine years old
and consisted everything of our friendship
that day
Sleep never came, memories never gone
I remembered each moment spent with you
and cried for the entire night
years after I still still know
we aren’t the same
I want to still cuddle you like a Teddy bear
I still want to spill my emotions without thinking
but now I say
I will always miss you!

The Serpent of Blackness

by Evie Harris aged 7

Oh baby, oh baby do fear,
the serpent of blackness is near
And as long as he may reign,
he’ll do it in power and vain.

But baby, but baby don’t cry,
don’t shed tears in front of my eye.
For the curse that holds him back,
is even more powerful and black,
and wicked and scary and tall,
than him, the greatest serpent of all!!

Summer Light

The sun shines on me in the summer light,
The warmth of his light calms me,
I see the bees buzzing about,
Collecting pollen as they go,
I see my sisters playing
As they run by,
I see a butterfly dancing,
So graceful as she flies,
The sun shines on me in the summer light.

Spring has Sprung

by Elsie aged 12

The sun is shining down on me,
See the chicks hatch,
Hear the bleating of the lambs,
Flowers growing up,
Easter is coming,
Easter egg hunts,
Chocolate eggs are being made
For us to eat up!
Excitement is bubbling up inside,
Of each child,
Oh wait I forgot,
The bunnies are hopping a lot,
Spring!

Aurora Borealis

Poetry to Music Project Performed to Aurora Borealis by Brandon Fletcher

Will she come
Will she appear
Aurora
Are you here?

Here she comes
Bringing her sapphires, diamonds
And gold
Such jewelled gifts you bring to us
Such beauty to behold

Your waterfall of colour
Burnished robes of emerald green
Aurora, you are the most graceful ballerina
The world has ever seen

Your crystals, jade and emeralds
Light up Venus and Mars
Watch as she tip toes across the sky
Our Queen of the Ink and Stars

Aurora
Your kaleidoscope of colour
Waves as you turn and twist
Dusting the sky with your paintbrush
Our artist of magical mist

Aurora
Are you tiring now
Is it time for your sleep?
Please stay a little while more
Shall we play hide and seek?

See her emerald lose its colour
See her jade fade from glow
Oh, Aurora
Do you have to leave us
Do you have to go?

There she goes
Fading back into the ebony sky –
Until tomorrow, Aurora
Goodnight, Aurora
Goodbye.

The Wind

The wind scrapes my face as I walk through the park,
The whistling sound makes my ears pop,
I watch the trees dance in time,
Listen to the moan of the wind,
The wind lashes the rain to soak my hair,
Hear his voice as loud as any,
The wind wants you to know he’s there,
He pulls my hair as he passes by,
The wind is rather sly,
Whenever I look he isn’t there,
But when I listen I can hear him,
The wind.

Magic

0
by Charlotte Fennell aged 9

I touch soft, warm, crumbling sand
Like the feel of rosy red candy floss
A soft breeze spins by
Dancing subtle pirouettes

I see a golden fairy
Waving her yellow wand
Sitting on a rainbow
Looking down at an enchanted forest

The scent of apple blossom
Floats on the breeze
It is like
Hope, trust and forgiveness
Everywhere
Like the perfume of a
Perfect purple butterfly

I see a robin with a glowing red breast
Tweeting songs of comfort
Like the sound of glistening turquoise waves…

It could just be magic.

Another tomorrow.

sweeping the dust
of memories,
I start my day,
with the sunlight
filling the void
left by the darkness
of the night.

I pull the curtains,
open the window;
a strong essence
of happiness rushes in,
an ethereal nectar.

slowly balancing the
pot between my hands,
the soft farms
gently kiss my soul,
a new spring emerges
from within.

gently removing the dew
from every flower
I walk by,
a soft pollen hits
my fresh face,
a broken heart
is healed.

slowly and steadily,
the sun sinks in the
robust ocean of darkness,
and the ocean extends:
a healed heart
goes to sleep.

praying for another
tommorow,
to again kiss the farms,
to again feel the dew,
to again taste the sweet nectar
of happiness,
to love and get loved.

My Love, My Sweet, My Everything

by Steven, Alexa, Emilia, Tia, Evie, Alessandra aged 9

(Poetry to Music Project – performed to Pirates of the Caribbean by Hans Zimmer)

Come, my love
On a magical adventure
Through the salty blue seas of wonder
To a mystical place
Where your gentle heart will want to be

I will show you
The cascading waterfall of life
Where you shall be
Forever young
Where gleaming fire flies
Shall light your eyes
Like the starry moonlit sky

There will be diamonds, pearls, emeralds
As precious as the purest silk
Of the forest lands

The Dragons of Poseidon
Shall bow at our feet
The Phoenix of Fire
Shall protect us
From the shadowy forces of evil

Lightning will flash
The wisest Narwhales of the seven seas
Shall be our guide
Our vessel shall be made
From the strongest wood
Of the Southern Hemisphere

My precious
I will protect you
With sword and shield
No living creature shall harm you
On our island
Our island
Come, say you will

You know I love you
Why can you not love me
The Earth’s core holds no fear for me
I will find you wherever you are
And bring you back

Why my love?
Don’t leave me now
Your heart is so far away
Yet you feel so close –
Tell me you love me
Tell me now

What can I do
I will do anything
Anything
Come, my love
My sweet
My everything.
