In the Darkest Dark

by Jack and Ola aged 9 and 10

There once was a boy called Chris
who was scared of the dark abyss
Every night,
he would get his parents to put up a fight
They gave him a bell
which he didn’t treat well

July 20 1969
a very historic sign
for the man on moon
who arrived just after June.

Chris had been inspired
and more than ever aspired
to be an astronaut
and launch into space
and create yet more history.

    Hi Jack and Ola. An interesting poem. I think you need to do another version where we discover that, even though he was scared of the abyss, he overcame his fear and became an astronaut.
