Moving abroad
Could be a new adventure
I’ll miss lots of friends
Who I treasure
The thought of the crystal blue sea
Fills me with joy
The thought of making new friends
Oh boy!
The glorious sun glistening down
On the soft sandy beach
Throwing the ball back and forth
As the sun beams down
Imagine leaping into a cold, refreshing pool
Whilst Mum and Dad lie on their
Comfy relaxing sunbeds
Caching up on their books
With their funny looks…
But
I will miss my friends and family
Goodbye….
Poems
First Kiss
He was standing there
He looked at me
I looked at him
Then he kissed me
O’ Storehouse of Knowledge
O’ my dear teacher,
To me you are a preacher,
You are so special,
You are an encyclopedia to me.
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
You are like a mirror,
Who reflects everyone,
You are like a flower,
Who blooms every morning
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
Were you ever a child?
And did you ever weep?
For a petty matter,
Or did you ever peep,
If you didn’t know what to write,
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
For me you are a mixture,
Of jokes, wisdom and happiness,
For me you are not a human,
But an angel from heaven,
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
You are as bright as a sun,
You are as wise as an owl,
You are as gentle as a lamb,
You are as funny as a clown,
Your voice is as sweet as honey,
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
When I ask you a word’s meaning,
You are a dictionary to me.
When I want to know about the world,
You are a Wikipedia to me.
When you crack jokes,
You are a clown to me.
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
O’ my dear teacher,
Do tell me,
About everything you do,
And your teaching methods,
And oh! Do tell me all of your jokes,
So that when I grow up I can be just like you,
O’ storehouse of knowledge!
But let me tell you one last thing,
You are not only a storehouse of knowledge,
But also a storehouse of jokes, fun and joy,
You are the most special person,
O’ storehouse of everything!
O’ my dear teacher,
Do reply soon…
The Girl Who Ate Oddly
I know a girl whose called Louise
She likes her dinner with cabbage and peas
She likes sausages with custard
And rhubarb with mustard
And finishes with jelly and cheese
Guiding Star
When the Sun disappears below the horizon
When darkness engulfs our mother
Then dots appear in the night
They blink once, twice, too many times
Twinkling in the sky, pale yet bright
Too many for the eye to count
Some too dim, for the eye to see
They form drawings and patterns
That only an artist can make out
They say that they are like our Sun
Shining in some distant galaxy
Hotter and brighter than our star
They have millions of years of knowledge
They guide us in our lives
And so, I ask you
Will you be my guiding star?
Memory Photo
I look at my photo; I am five
Dancing at a party; not a care in the world
An incident rubbed from memory
A feeling erased from heart
A place which might as well have never existed
If not for the photo
I frame it and put it beside my bed
So, I can feel as I felt so long ago
So, I can cherish it
So, I can look at it every morning
So that I never forget
Lily and Lucy
Lucy Lopet likes lemons,
Lily Lopet likes limes,
Lily and Lucy Lopet like lentils,
When Lucy lost Layla her doll, Lucy started liking limes,
Lily licked Layla before it got lost.
What Am I?
I am the argument that you didn’t win,
I am a fight,
I am the pencil that broke when writing,
I am the frustration of stuff not working,
I am the voice that always talks in your ear,
I am the distraction while your trying to concentrate,
I am your favourite toy getting destroyed,
I am anger.
What Am I?
I am the loneliness of outer space,
I am the blue of the sky,
I am the nightmares in the back of your mind,
I am a bee’s sting,
I am the tears rolling down your face,
I am a rainy day’s beginning,
I am the cut on your knee,
I am no summer’s day,
I am sadness.
(inspired by Roger Steven’s poem ‘What’ s my name?’)
