Brother

by Alizah aged 11

Brother, I wonder why
you always used to lie
Brother, I wonder why
You used to cry
Was it because of our scary aunt?
For when you became older you liked to rant
Brother, I wonder why

When you laugh
that I look like a giraffe
I feel sad
but when I tell mum that you’ve been bad
you look mad

But there can also be good sides of a brother
except the fact that we fight one and other
the fact that no one can win at cricket
because our dad always scores a wicket

Hairy Monster

by Isla Causon aged 7

There was a monster under my bed
and he was a bit red.

He looked like a scary fairy.

He said, “My name is Fred.”
He started to eat some bread.

Please, oh please don’t eat me, monster Fred.

There was a monster under my bed and he was a bit red.
I told him he was bold and also gold.
He was a bit shiny and also a bit whiny.

Please, oh please don’t eat me, monster Fred.

Lost Island

by Azmeer aged 9

Across the Pacific
along the stream
there was an island
that was full of dreams

Lost Island it was called
as it was as lost as lost can be
Lost Island it was called
it was lost in the sea

Down in the amazon
down into the sea
lying on the sea bed
was the corpse of me

A soul of savage
hurt and past
I felt it coming
my life went fast

Searching the island was a big mistake
and there was a quirk of fate
this made my heart quake
my life decided to take a long break

Heat beat
heart beat
there was no sign of a heart beat
Ever will I walk on the street?
heart beat
heart beat

Monster

I heard a sound under my bed,
It was a monster with a red head.

He is soft and fluffy as a cloud,
He is really, really loud.

His nose is so rough,
He is extremely tough.

He is very brave,
He lives in a very dark cave.

I heard some growling under my bed,
So I cuddled up with my ted.

But where, oh where is my teddy?
The growling was very scary.

His teeth are as sharp as a knife,
Please, oh please don’t eat me.

I heard some growling under my bed,
So I cuddled up with my ted.

Why Dogs Woof

by Elsie aged 12

Once there was a pack of dogs roaming through the woods,
They had a home hidden under a big and bushy bush,
One day there was a rustle,
A roar,
And outside of the bush was a dinosaur!
They growled,
They howled,
But the enormous beast,
He wouldn’t budge until he’d ate his feast,
Suddenly there was an ‘oof’,
And then a big loud…
‘WOOF!’
And the dinosaur ran back home.

(not true) lol

Summer

School is out
Now I’m not going to pout
In the summer I run
Summer is really fun
In summer I also relax in the sun
Now this poem is done.

Why

by Azmeer aged 9

Why?
Why?
Why?
I see it passing by
ascending in the sky
it makes me question why?
Why do clouds fly?

Why?
Why?
Why?
I see it in his eyes
while he pokes a fly
it makes me question why?
Why do liars lie?

Why?
Why?
Why?
Wearing an old school tie
while in maths we multiply
makes me question why?
Why do we have to wear a tie?

Why the River Flows

1
by Azmeer aged 9

I often wonder
I often think why
the river flows like clouds up high

Or why the grass
is not as brown as brass
or as pink as an unripe cherry.

It occurs to me that honey bees
store their honey in trees
protected by leaves.

And that is why the river flows
because of nature’s way to go
this crooked and uneven path
is still a mystery to everyone’s heart.

Racism

by Harvey James aged 12

If you’re white
If you’re black
We all have equal rights
But not to be racist
That’s not right
Racists just look for a fight
But don’t fight
It gets you nowhere
Because those racists don’t care
