Rose Buds

0
by Asirini Parakramawansha aged 11

A million petals sparkle,
Covered in the weeping sky’s tears.
As other flowers wither,
the rosebuds seem to shut tight in fear.
I wonder what’s inside them?
Maybe frolicking little elves,
Maybe they have gems inside
Stored on little petal shelves.
They never ever seem to move,
or open up at all.
Maybe they’re just shy because,
Compared to the others they’re so SMALL.

Back to School

I’m back to school
Without a clue.
Who my teacher is going to be,
If she or he will welcome me?
I’m anxious right down to the core
And wait a little near the door.
I fling it open
And then step in.
Not many people are there yet,
The one’s there are, playing with the teacher I bet.
They beckon to me
And I go a little doubtfully.
That goes away,
At the start of the day.
Some of my old friends are in my class,
But there are new faces also who are not bad.
I feel very lucky,
Not a little bit rocky.
We have some fun on the playground,
And also on the football ground.
The lessons are fun,
And in no time we’re done.
At the end of the day,
We play some game.
Once the day is over,
I say ‘bye to my friends and my teacher.
My new class
Was not so bad!

Billionaire Extraordinaire

When I grow up I’ll live in a mansion
with gold leaf for my roof.
If anyone gets in my way,
I’ll wave a wand and they’ll go Poof!
All my dresses will be made of velvet and imported silk,
to make myself look pretty I’ll drink expensive donkeys’ milk.
Versailles will be my holiday home,
and Buckingham Palace will be my lodge.
I’ll have 12 royal Chihuahuas and a poodle named Hodge-Podge.
I’ll collect a 100 yachts and 500 expensive cars,
And I’ll be the manager of my favorite super-stars.
I will travel the world and buy stuff everywhere,
I can do all this cause I’m a Billionaire Extraordinaire!

Star Speckled Night

I look up at the star-speckled night,
a polka-dotted expanse of black.
I wonder if there’s others in those stars,
imagine if they looked back.
As I look up at those other worlds
I see a blazing comet fly by.
I made a wish upon that shooting star,
I wished that I could fly.
If I could fly,
I’d run-away to that world of twinkling lights,
and I’d live forever in a world of,
Star Speckled Nights.

Why Is the Sky Blue?

by Ellen aged 12

Why is the sky blue?
Why is the sky blue?
Why are clouds white?
Why do stars only come out at night?
Why do I love the smell of fresh cake?
And why are windows clear and never opaque?
Why are houses made out of brick?
And what comes first?
The egg or the chick?
I suppose I’ll never know,
The answers to the questions,
Unless I go online
And see people’s suggestions.

Lies

I once rode a lion
In the marsh, all on my own
I once ran a circus
All alone
I once went to space
And saw the Sun
I once made a
Very, very huge bun
I once slapped a lion
I once climbed a tree
I’m of course telling the truth
As you can see
I once was a prime minister
And ruled this land
My mom is the president
So everything is in her hand
My father is a police officer
And the head of them all
He always walks straight
Looking smart and tall
I once had a talking doll
Who used to walk and talk
I once met Santa
Putting presents in my sock
I once had a marvelous dog
Who was better than any other pet
He shook his hands
With anyone he first met
I used to have a cat
Who caught over a billion rats a night
I was paid really well
It was so, so right
I once had a shock gun
And it certainly gave a shock
To anyone who bullied me
Or even used to mock
Oh, this is all the truth
No Lie
Oh I once did these things
Oh my, Oh my
I once had a bunch of mice
Who could lift 1000 pounds of weight
Ah those were the times
I used to feel great
Oh you know??
I jumped off the roof one day
If I told that to my mom
What would she possibly say??
Oh I once had a fox for a pet
And it was as tame as a dog
He did a lot of work for me
Like bring a piece of log
I once saw an elf
Walking here and there
I once saw a talking rabbit
Or maybe it was a hare
I once walked to US
With my bare feet
I didn’t rest or sit
I didn’t have a seat
Once I made a game
Which was really, really nice
It had to do with a lot of cats
And a few mice
I once jumped over the moon
I once had a talking cow
Umm… but I couldn’t possibly
Do that all now…..

Pretty Flowers

Dancing daises in the sun
watch them grow everyday

Roses as red as red lipstick
Laughing lilies giggling at the busy bees

Every flower smells sweet
they’re honey helpers to bees

Do you like flowers?

Too Many Gadgets

by Harshita Das aged 10

I am always on my laptop
I am always on my iPad
My mother says it’s not right
My father says it’s bad
I am always on my lap top or a TV
I love watching
As you can probably see
I am always on a gadget
Playing different games
I’m gonna be a You-tuber
So that’ll bring me fame
My grandpa says that I should stop
My granny says I’ll go blind
My nani says that if I play too much
I’m gonna lose my mind
But I want an email
I want to give a tweet
I’m not gonna move
Not even to eat
For why should I do that
When I’ve got a game to play?
Why should I go out
When I can play here the whole day?
There’s one gadget game that I hate
Which is pretty popular I must say
Which is Pokemon Go
For in it you have to walk and play

This One Is For You, Daddy (Happy Birthday!)

1
by Ashwin Gohil

When you’re told for the first time,
“You’re going to become a dad!”
What feeling comes to mind?
Happy, content, excited, glad.

It can’t felt that long since you remember,
Sitting there,
Wiping our bums, our skinny tums,
The amount of times on the chair!

When we were three,
Quite easy.
But we guess not for you!
I could say,
Throwing up,
The sign of growing up,
Must have made you queasy!

Even how we’ve grown to now,
We know we make you extremely proud.
We’ll always be your girl and lads,
We are proud to call you our Dad.

Love
