First Poems

Boats sail on the river,
Boats sail on the canal.
There are big boats and small boats.
Some boats have sails, engines, oars.
Canal boats are long,
Canoes are short.
Some boats are made of wood,
Most boats are made of metal.
All boats have a destination.

The coolest kid in school
was really good at maths
He could do lots of backflips
over an over again on the trampoline!
He lived in a mansion
He was cool.

I saw a bird in the sky finding some food high above.
It was so high, bright in the sky.
Then the bird flew away to somewhere else
in the bright blue sky.
Then it went to the beach
and I saw it again and again and again
Finally the bird flew away
and she went to her cuddly bed
which was tight and brown

Mine is a comet
whistling through space
towards a distant planet
But the planet has a woolly hat
on its head
and my snowball missed it!

My dad is funny
He makes my day sunny
He plays games with me
And takes me swimming in the sea
I love my daddy more than he knows
And I really hope that it shows

Hot lava
As hot as an oven
Hotter than hot

My Mummy is so beautiful,

so lovely, so kind,

the one and only who is divine.

I love her with all my heart and kisses,

and if I could I would give her a million hugs and kisses.

I love you, Mummy.

What’s that blur of brown flying through the trees?
It’s swinging, no skimming branches, flinging itself through the canopy!
Not scared, no knobbly knees!
It’s a troop of monkeys!

Guess what!?
Today I saw a hare, that was the size of a bear!
Today (nothing new) I saw an ant as big as a shoe,
Today, a tarantula escaped from Whipsnade Zoo,
Today, I must confess, I saw a fly as big as a party dress!
Dear child are you sure that’s true?
Of course Mummy! You were there TOO!

Shivery, shakey, snowy too
I just want to be in bed with you
Cuddle up in in front of the fire watching the snowflakes on the window
Seeing the snowman smile
I love cold air blowing in my face
