Messages Are All Around

by Sophie Chebib aged 9

Love letters, adorned with kisses
Angry bills about rent misses

Poems from my nanny whose loyalty will never end
Text alerts, annoyingly, I wonder why they send

A hundred emails all yelling at me to get a job
Chatting, in the street, to a random guy named Bob

Messages, with dedications
Messages on medications

Slowly, quickly they spread around
Rumours, gossip by text or sound
Put in a bottle to be found
Messages are all around.

    What a brilliantly up-to-date poem Sophie has written! I was privileged to look after Sophie from when she was just under two years old to pre- school age and she was always gorgeous to be with.
