Poems

On Sunday we got a new puppy
He runs around everywhere
As mad as he can be
But sometimes he is a bit naughty
And on the carpet he does a wee!

A spiderweb was on the wall.
It was as big as the palm
Of an adult’s hand. A black spider

Walking on the wall
Waiting for prey to fall.
I wanted to get the web

Off the wall, but I didn’t
Want to make the poor
Spider homeless. So the web

Remained on the wall,
And it still, in fact,
Remains there today.

I sit down at the table
And what is that I can smell?
The lovely roast chicken
With potatoes, gravy and carrots
Broccoli and cabbage too
But forget about all of that because…
It’s all about the chicken food!

I gently tap on your window
I chase away the cold
I come and the warmth follows
The Sun shines brightly
On my flowers
Along with the cool breeze
Tickling your skin
The grass feels luminous
The roses and violets
Blossom when I am around
Animals wake up
After a long sleep
Everyone cheers for me
For I am the Spring
That brings a smile

She hunts with me
She plays with me
She does the same thing as me
She has all sorts of things like me
She paints with me
I love my granny
She’s the best in the world

Friendship is cool
because your friends are always on your side
Like Cherry, Chloe, Ciennah, Ema,
Mereana, Nyra, Eliza, Tisharn, Lakesha,
Adelade and Taimana
They are such fun to play with
and they’re cool with me.

There is darkness
In each one of us
A tendency to kill
A desire for pain
A hunger for suffering
A greed for more
A blindness to honesty
A thirst to choose wrongly
Nobody is flawless
But to shroud that darkness
With light
Is what makes a person
Perfect

People hate cats,
People love dogs,
People hate numbers,
People love letters,
People hate other people,
I love you,
You love me.
