Another tomorrow.

sweeping the dust
of memories,
I start my day,
with the sunlight
filling the void
left by the darkness
of the night.

I pull the curtains,
open the window;
a strong essence
of happiness rushes in,
an ethereal nectar.

slowly balancing the
pot between my hands,
the soft farms
gently kiss my soul,
a new spring emerges
from within.

gently removing the dew
from every flower
I walk by,
a soft pollen hits
my fresh face,
a broken heart
is healed.

slowly and steadily,
the sun sinks in the
robust ocean of darkness,
and the ocean extends:
a healed heart
goes to sleep.

praying for another
tommorow,
to again kiss the farms,
to again feel the dew,
to again taste the sweet nectar
of happiness,
to love and get loved.

My Love, My Sweet, My Everything

(Poetry to Music Project – performed to Pirates of the Caribbean by Hans Zimmer)

Come, my love
On a magical adventure
Through the salty blue seas of wonder
To a mystical place
Where your gentle heart will want to be

I will show you
The cascading waterfall of life
Where you shall be
Forever young
Where gleaming fire flies
Shall light your eyes
Like the starry moonlit sky

There will be diamonds, pearls, emeralds
As precious as the purest silk
Of the forest lands

The Dragons of Poseidon
Shall bow at our feet
The Phoenix of Fire
Shall protect us
From the shadowy forces of evil

Lightning will flash
The wisest Narwhales of the seven seas
Shall be our guide
Our vessel shall be made
From the strongest wood
Of the Southern Hemisphere

My precious
I will protect you
With sword and shield
No living creature shall harm you
On our island
Our island
Come, say you will

You know I love you
Why can you not love me
The Earth’s core holds no fear for me
I will find you wherever you are
And bring you back

Why my love?
Don’t leave me now
Your heart is so far away
Yet you feel so close –
Tell me you love me
Tell me now

What can I do
I will do anything
Anything
Come, my love
My sweet
My everything.

Midnight Is

by Caitlin Paul aged 9

Midnight is a time for ghosts
When they come to play
Throwing all my toys on the floor
Shouting
‘Hip, hip, hooray!’

Midnight is a time for treats
And all I can possibly eat
Chocolates, cookies and pizza
Then I fall soundly asleep

Midnight is a time for stories
Funny, scary or sweet
Roasting fantasy marshmallows by the fire
Oh, that is quite a treat

Midnight is a time for witches
Will they be bad or good
Carrying me above the trees
Of the deepest darkest wood

But

When I wake up
My room is all clean
My toys are back under my bed
Where are all the cookie crumbs
Was it real
Or just in my head?

Unicorns

I once saw a unicorn
White and soft
Her tail was rainbow
Pink, purple and blue
She was sparkly and glittery
With a long horn shiny and shimmery
I
Love
Unicorns!

New Home

A new home is fun
a new home is scary, believe me
please don’t be weary
It’s sometimes jolly
but when it’s the wrong home
I don’t think you will have a fun life

Colours…

by Adelaide aged 10

The sky is blue
roses are red
the grass is green
the sun is yellow
the wind is whistling
birds are chirping.

Morning Middle

by Lakeisha Collier aged 6

In the morning middle
where the sun is rising up
clouds drifting from one side
to the other side

Colour vs Colour

The sky is grey
The clouds are white
The rain drops are blue
Roses are red
The grass is green
So a rainbow is a rainbow

Where’s My Shoes?

Mum, where are my shoes?
Um, where ever you left them
But where was the last place I had them?
I don’t know

The Serpent of Blackness

0
by Evie Harris aged 7

Oh baby, oh baby do fear
the serpent of blackness is near
And as long as he may reign,
he’ll do it in power and vain.

But baby, but baby don’t cry,
don’t shed tears in front of my eye.
For the curse that holds him back,
is even more powerful and black,
and wicked and scary and tall,
than him, the greatest serpent of all!!
