Zoo

by Issy aged 11

Our school trip was different to the rest
we had gone to the zoo
You might think I did that with our school
but you didn’t do quite this.
We were on our bus driving through the safari
and entering the lion section.
A girl called Suzy panicked
Mrs Blunt said, don’t worry Suzy
they’re just dumb animals
and at that very moment
the lions plucked open the door
and paraded into the bus
and took Mrs Blunt
She was never to be seen again.
So next time you go to the zoo
be careful what you say
You don’t want to end up like Mrs Blunt

I like Summer…
As scorching as the sun,
As refreshing as a slushie,
As adventurous as rock climbing,
As sweet as strawberries,
As breathtaking as snorkeling,
As temperate as a hot tub,
As relaxing as a sauna,
As shocking as a shark,
As surprising as a scorpion.

As embarrassing as hula-dancing!
As dainty as the wind,
As delicious as chocolate,
As pleasurable as swimming,
As squishy as a rubber ring,
As enjoyable as reading,
As expressive as karaoke!
As calm as the sea,
As jewel-bright as a paddling pool,
As fine as sand,
As heart-pounding as a wasp,

Summer is for me!

Aghhh

When you have a thought
a really good thought
a thought that you want to tell your mum
or your dad
but then it slips away
you say
I know it’ll come back.
But it doesn’t.
Aghhh!
Oh yeah it’s…

Friends

It was one sunny day
and people were at school enjoying themselves.
Some people have got bad friends.
Some people have got good friends.

Some people don’t care about other people,
they just laugh and make fun of them
Some people help other people
and are thoughtful to them.

If you see anybody alone
or upset
or being made fun of
stick up for them
even if you don’t like them

Don’t be shy, be brave

That was a poem about friends
Remember to always stick up for your friends
even if you don’t like them.

Crocodile

What’s that lurking in the lake?
Warm yellow eyes on top of it’s face?
Spiky spines on it’s back,
dark green colour,
sharp pointy teeth inside its mouth,
pond weed covering it scaly body?
Mind out everybody!
Sneaking around is the crocodile!

The Love of My Life

by Georgi Emanuilov aged 17

Send me to the prison
located in your heart,
let me unlock it with my pure love
and allow me to throw the key from it,
far away from the access to everyone.
I want to be the only one permitted to enter.

Love me,
I want to feel loved again,
make me a hostage of your heart,
a constant inhabitant of it.
Don’t refuse
Just open it for me, let our love to overbear.

Summon the darkest part of you,
let it talk now,
give it the opportunity to be heard,
because silence is not an option.

Cats

Cats in a hat
Love them
Cats in a hat
They are great
But how are they great?
What is next?

My Brother

by Deetya Neotia aged 8

My brother is very funny
and also as cute as a bunny
He irritates me
but he is like a busy bee
He is quiet cute
but sometimes mute
He likes Harry Potter
but I don’t bother.
He loves cricket
and shouts when it’s a wicket
We wrestle
He whistles
I love my brother for being him
And sometimes he treats me well when I win

Beach

Beautiful castle created by everyone
Wash the sea
This beach is part of the beach
Know the sea and know the sea
If I ask, what we say is ice

Now I know that our parents
tell us to love each other
Well I believe we kids have made declarants
that we have annoying sisters and brothers

When I say, love
It could mean many things
The floating cupid up above
with the bells ringing

Or maybe proposals in the park
to acquire a new husband/wife
or cutting up paper hearts
to make cards for memories for life

So buy a flower bonnet
Before I finish this sonnet
