Rivers of Wildlife

0
by Xindi Huang aged 11

Wildlife is a river,
Flowing hard with waves,
Bright with exposure,
Avoiding all caves.
Can you hear those roars?
Or maybe they are calls,
Or maybe they are whimpers –
Touch them with your souls.
They live in greater peace
Than we humans do
Fine, look at their teeth,
But isn’t that survival?
Why can’t you understand
Why can’t you care
The lack of greed they have
Is something we can’t bear
They are animals, they say,
Look at them: so uncivilised!
And yet they still:
Show us why we are here-
Show us what we are missing-
They show us what we are.
Wildlife cannot speak
So we shall do it for them.
We shall shout it!
Scream it!
Show me why we are here…

How to bake a cake (snow edition)

Firstly, get your warm scarf, hat, gloves, so you don’t get cold.
Remember, to get a bowl.

Next, put your coat on. Get a spoon.

Put some flour into the wooden, pure bowl.
Then, get some trainers and get ready
to explore the beautiful, imaginative snow!
Walk outside, like a snow angel flying in the night sky,
like a fairy, not to be found.
Make a snow angel in the snow,
and imagine you are that snow angel
flying across the stars.

Stir it with your mixing bowl.
After that, make a snowman..

Your snowman is made.
Put the ingredients in.
Includes, butter, sugar, etc.

Put it in the oven for about 10 minutes.
You should play, while you’re waiting for that!!

You’re having fun in the snow and your cake is all made.

Enjoy your cake!

Me, Just Me…

I’m so numb,
I can’t feel you,
I’m so dumb,
I can’t think for myself.

I’m tired of being what you want me to be,
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface,
DONT know what you expect from me,
I’m just another guy, hating the bliss.

Blow Like the Wind

When I see you
it is like a gush of wind
It is such a light
that I can’t look at you

by Lover aged 15

My love.
My love.
We finally kissed.
And now we go on dates.
And my crush always comes with a rose in his hands.
We have a dream.
And that dream is.
To get married!!!
We talk a lot about it.
Smiles upon our faces.
He says I’ll be the best wife.
And then we smile.
We have kissed several times.
In fact it’s actually 7 times.
I told my friends I kissed my crush.
And now they’re squealing.
And I am soooooo happy.
We have…
Danced together.
Kissed each other.
Gone on dates.
Planned to get married!!!
And now we’re loving each other more and more.
Our love gets stronger!!!

True Love

2
by Annaliese aged 10

Everyone experiences true love,
even to love a new book, or a neat little nook,
bags and shoes, flowers and cats, dogs and more,
but that was before Covid without any bore.
You might like a TV star (not me),
or even insects like a bee.
You wait and wait for a new Netflix show
which you want to adore.
For moms and dads are fashion and food,
even designer shoes,
Older sisters and brothers love music and gadgets
BUT…. that is not true love.
We wait ’til we are in our teens to see,
for we are still young (even as much as we think we are not) ,
Our time WILL come soon.

The Sun

by Charlottei aged 10

Glistening through creaks in billowing fluff
getting warmer as the clouds float by
warm on the skin, a bless not a sin
scorching so high in the sky

Warm is the ground as the people walk on
traffic around – building works
the sun disappears getting away
it’s a secret where the warmth lurks

Rain starts to fall
then sleet and snow,
hear a bird call
looking far down below

The rain has stopped and here comes the wind
whistling and beckoning a storm
then an arch of colours when the sun creeps out
bringing the light and warm

Yours

by Layla (AKA Laly) aged 14

You’re warm in his arms.
Lying by his chest.
Looking at the stars.
Lying in the grass.
Closing your eyes and relishing the dark.
Ohhh, you’re in his arms lying under the stars.
You drift away together forever oooooh
Because he is yours.
Ooooohhh, he is yours.

My Cute But Annoying Little Brother

by Raihan aged 9

He’s so annoying when he screams
He shrieks as if he has a lion
He’s an adorable cute baby
but he can be nice to me
He’s so cute everybody adores him
but I love him
Nothing worse will make me hate my little brother

Sister, sister, oh how much I love you
