Air pollution
Awful, crummy
Killing, dying, executing
Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Greenland, Antarctica
Healing, helping, saving
Acceptable, nice
Fresh air

We need to stop making bad air
Animals and human need to be fair
We can re-use, reduce and recycle
So we need to ride less cars and more bicycles
Threads of Nostalgia

Winter dawn –
I sit with my grandmother
as she weaves the sweater for me.
“You know how happy we were then?”
she says, with a trickle of river
racing down her wrinkled cheek;
“A line, a boundary drawn not only along
two seperate nations;
but along families,
love,
and people.”
She carefully weaves the threads
of nostalgia,
of every hue –
red, green, blue.
“The greenest of pastures,
fluttering butterflies with their gaudy wings,
sunlit mustard flowers blooming.”
And I see a tear,
glistening on the thin treads
of nostalgia
and then, I tenderly wipe them off
with a flower petal.
“Those mustards which bloomed with the shades
of sunlit stars.”
One flower petal
and in the depths of Grandma’s eyes
I saw mustard flowers
still blooming.

I play in the sun on this warm day,
I hear birds that sing,
And smell scents that bring
Happiness all around.
The sun is shining all day long
My mouth gets dry from the heat
I get sun burnt because I never wore sun cream!
I love the sun,
The sound of the bees buzzing around,
The sound of the bird’s song
Brings happiness all around.
The Sun.

I sit in the seat of the roller coaster,
Waiting for it to move.
Slowly it sets of,
Then zooming up the slope,
Whoosh we go down the steep bump,
Around the corner flinging us about,
The force scraping through our hair on the warm spring day,
Then a sudden break makes me jump,
Off we go again,
Sitting in the seat of the roller coaster,
Nothing is in our way!

5,4,3,2…
The room goes black,
Faster and faster I go round,
Sitting next to my friend,
Flashes and colours fill the place,
Over waves, faster…
Flicker… Flicker…
I can hear screams,
I can hear laughter,
Faster…
Faster we go round and round,
Pitch black…
Can’t see…
The force pushes my face back,
Faster… faster
What a thriller ride!
