Poems
The Grape
There was an Ape
who had a date
with his mate,
a Grape.
The Ape found a man
With a bright crimson van, that could take them there.
The Ape sat on the Grape.
Before that, the Grape wished
He has never been squished
On top of an upturned dish.
The Ape became the leader of the grapes,
but the grapes ate the Ape
as the Ape burst out
in no doubts.
Poetry Love
Hey, I like poetry,
much better than cookery.
I like cats,
They can do many things.
Cats run
Cats hunt
Cats chase
Cats rest,
but I like dogs best.
Poems are enjoyable
Poems are educational
To me my friends are like kin
I hope I win
White Rabbit
small and white
hears like a gnome
carries a watch everywhere he goes
but he is always late
so he says
I wonder if he is always late?
Message in a Bottle
A message in a bottle
Floating in the blue
It doesn’t know what to say
It doesn’t know what to do.
A message in a bottle
Bobbing in the green
It doesn’t know where it is
It doesn’t know where it’s been.
A message that was in a bottle
Escaped from its prison
The idea of a message is copied round the world
The messages have risen!
The War
The First World War started in 1914,
And was probably the worst that the world had ever seen.
You could ask the men that fought in the war what they saw. Did they see birds carrying messages across ‘No Man’s Land’ Or struggling soldiers fighting on the sand.
Did they see men gasping for air,
Or the opposition bombing without a care? Once you’ve finished asking these questions you might forget That these men died so that you could sleep without a fret. The message here is nice and clear
That you should stand up to what you think is right without a fear. I don’t think I need an amplifier to make myself heard
Because I would just sound absurd.
Now I’ve finished I hope you realize
That people fought in the war no matter what age or what size.
What a Persuasive Letter!
Dear Chocolate Maker,
Unappetising, inextraordinary, tasteless- is this the reputation you would like to hold for your sweets?
These don’t appeal to me as nice treats.
Everyone agrees you are the best chocolate maker in the world,
Not one person after eating your confectionary would have hurled.
Anyway let’s get to the point,
I would like to share my viewpoint.
I would like to attempt to ask you to make my delight,
People’s eyes will glisten in the light.
This fruit is straight from the Amazon Rainforest,
After eating this you shall be nourished.
The filling is concocted by the inventor,
After it sits and waits in the centre.
What do you think, would you manufacture this?
If not, it would be a big fat miss.
Thank you for all of your time,
Don’t be rushed take all night and daytime.
Yours Sincerely,
Risha Tanwar
Oh My Lovely Green Thing
I am green not because I eat grass
I steal the life of small creatures
I am major in height to ants
I am cute but vicious
I can eat you in time
I have a tail and it is a good one
I am becoming extinct
Why would you eat me?
