Bird, bird,

flap your wings
and touch the sky.

thanks to all those who nurtured it
it’s a great and vital source of trust in community
thou be thanked for preventing the death of all
who helped plant it and loved it with tender care

and needed
with UK
trust thanked
with love and
care infinitely.

As you put it in your mouth
You taste the creaminess
When it melts the taste is luxurious
Tasting like sweet sugar
Tasting like goey syrup
Chocolate

I Heard a Noise

by Elsie aged 12

I heard a noise one day
In a most parculiar way
It squarked like a bird
It tooted like a train
I heard a noise one day
It was like a song
sung by a swan
I heard a noise one day
In a most parculiar way

Blue

The sky is blue
Water is blue
Blue is cool
Because it’s the color of the pool
I like blue
But why it’s not the color of my shoe?

I Wish, I Wish

I wish I was a monkey who can swing from tree to tree.
I wish I could eat bananas for my tea.
I wish I was a monkey with a monkey family.
I wish I was monkey that lived in a tree.
I wish I was a monkey that could play all day long.
I wish I was a monkey that could sing a monkey song.

The Artist

Emerald green trees
all thick with
promises
tower up like
monuments,
as the golden sand
ripples with
pride,
showing its willingness
to receive
a sprinkling of
life-gifting
seeds

The soft crooning of
the pearlescent
waves
beckons you
tenderly
to this majestic
land,
that is
filled to
the brim with
ingenuity

The serenity of
these kingly
waters,
knitted
mindfully with
turquoise aquamarine,
has tranquility
holding out its
hand like
a bold
companion

A tropical
wonderworld
where dolphins
dance and whales
wander, sea turtles
shift, and stingrays
surround
a breathtaking
bounty
of cradling
coral

Hearts sown
harmoniously with
threads of glorification –
flora, fauna, and
human alike,
living to the
rhythm
of the
Almighty’s
awe-inspiring
artistry

A Testament to the Divine

by Fatema Zahra Mithwani aged 9

Within the Realm
of Infinite Possibility
there lies a paintbrush
magnificent in its ability

A paintbrush of illustriousness
A paintbrush of delight
A paintbrush of fulfilment
of majesty
of might

With the sweep of a swirl,
the conjuring of a twirl,
an endless blue shall unfurl

Oceans and seas of cool cobalt
swiftly sliding, cresting, gliding

The sky – a mirror of turquoise tranquility
The rain – an elixir of abundant fertility

A flourishing, a nourishing, of lush, leafy line
The towering, and flowering,
of a verdant forest of pine

The purest blush of a rose
as it blooms upon a vine,
its inviting scent – an aromatic offering
of praise to the Divine

A graceful swoop, a lissome loop,
a fluidly sweeping arc

With an attitude of beatitude,
the paintbrush makes its mark

From the Hand of the One
emerges sea upon sea
of blessing and wonder:
His Word, to each, is, ‘Be!’

My baby brother is cute
He is my best dude
He makes me smile
when I am not in a good mood

Look After People

If you want to be a baby sitter
That’s fine
But you have to trust your mom and dad
To be good
So I am off
To go on to my next poem
