As the Crow Flies

over a hill
over a tree
over the bush
with a bumblebee
over the road
over the grass
over the school
and an ongoing class
over the city
over the town
over the circus
and its goofy old clown
over the river
over the lake
over the bakery
baking fresh cake
over the farm
over the zoo
over the clouds
through the sky so blue
over the church
over the bridge
over the cliff
and its towering ridge
over the skyscrapers
next to the planes
along the track
and next to the trains
through the forest
onto an oak
nearby
hear a frog croak
up on the branch
there’s no more brick
but in the nest
a little brown chick

My Furry Friend

My furry friend is the one that can help
He is a four legged friend I can count on
He is the one who won’t say a word or a secret
I treat him like a brother
I know he will help me in life
I know he loves me but
I LOVE HIM MORE

The Clown Was Upside Down

Once there was a funny clown,
who liked sitting upside down
and then he liked to read a book
and then he gave a funny look
and then he looked
at a funny book
He really, really took a look.

Love is my favorite thing
it is the best thing

when you are sad
love is there for you

so who do you love
the person you share a life with

First Kiss

I just had my first kiss
He nearly put up a fist
Then never saw me
And left to leave me be

We went to meet up
To have a chat
Talked about family things
He had a beautiful smile
One crazy hairstyle
We fell in love and stayed with style

My Soulmate

There is nothing on Earth more beautiful to me
than your smile…
No sound sweeter than your laughter…
No pleasure greater than holding you in my arms…
The moment I look into your eyes I know
instantly that I
could never live without you…
In this life and the next, you’re my eternal
happiness…

with cold from far
a shivering tree

can you give
warm water to flowers?

Will They Love Me?

by Charlottei aged 11

Will they watch me fall asleep
then bring me breakfast in bed?
Will they wake me up with a smile
and leave with a kiss on my head?

Will they believe what I believe
in equality for all?
Will they help with the housework,
and catch me when I fall?

Will they take me out
to my most favorite place I know?
Will they exchange the rings
and kiss me in the snow?

Will they make me laugh and cry
until my lungs give way?
and if they hug me, kiss me, hold me
will they always say

I love you?

In The Rain of Love

What a gentle fate
Neither live nor die
The fire was burning inside,

So once in a gloomy night,
Death invited her to be his bride
Thus she left this world
By reminding us
That the true love is always right.

true love takes time
trust it

in your mind
close your eyes
a bright light!!
shining in your eyes
your true love
