love is passionate
love is not wrong
love is like a flower growing
and growing
love is amazing in every
posible way
love can make your day
love is a holiday.
Poems
Mum, You Dropped the Turkey
Mum came into the dining room
and brought in the Turkey
She tripped over the dog
and the turkey went quirky
The most remarkable thing happened
The turkey started dancing
It climbed on Jack’s drums
and started shaking the tambourine
It dropped it and started playing the drums
and all of a sudden
the pudding started jumping up and down
the peas started singing jingle bells
and the carrots had a sword fight
with the sausages
The mash potato sloshed around in the bowl
and the gravy…
Well the gravy, it just went everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!
Diversity
I look at a beagle
It stares at me
Expectantly
A playful gleam
In its eyes
Which are black
Cute and fuzzy
Looking at strangers
As if calling them
For a warm hug
I look at a doberman pinscher
It stands dignified
Its skin has a black shine
Loyal and obedient
Ferocious and independent
Aggressive to anyone
Hurting his master
Strong
Its eyes shine
As it sees its friend
I look at a pug
Big black snout
And cute little eyes
It holds its tongue
Tugging at my skirt
Circling around me
Playfully
Snuggling on to my lap
As it slowly drifts
Off to sleep
I look at a great dane
As tall as an elephant
Powerful and strong
It looks back at me
And grins
Joyfully
Taller than me
With white fur
And black blotches
Each one unique
In its own way
So different
From each another
Yet they’re all loved
For their traits
Everything is unique
And everything should be loved
Christmas
A freezing night
Frost on the window
Snow on the doorstep
Icicles hanging down
The cold is harsh and bitter
But something about that night
Seems warm
And friendly
As if it can’t control how it looks
But tries its hardest
To make the cold seem beautiful
The grass is white
A glistening furry coat
Is laid on the streets
The snow on trees
Glitters at the slightest light
From the people’s houses
They are singing and exclaiming merrily
A nice conical tree
On the steps
And I smile
As I know
That it is Christmas
Our Christmas Tree
Our Christmas tree
Sits in the middle
Majestic and tall
Baubles around the sides
Ribbons folded across
Small gifts
And big gifts
Spread on the floor
And gleaming at the top
Is a big silver star
Shiny and bright
It lights up the room
Looking regal and proud
It grows ever so high
Its branches
Covered with evergreen leaves
It spreads beauty
Our Christmas tree
Santa
Every Christmas night
I stay awake
By the window sill
Staring at the stars
Waiting
For a huge man
With a big belly
Dressed in red
To tumble down the chimney
And grin in the dark
And fill my stockings
With gifts and more
And yet
I find no one
I toss and turn
And then drift off to sleep
Not hearing footsteps
And I wake up
The next morning
And see my stockings
With a note
“I knew you were awake”
Honk
There was a honk that went bonk and a tonk.
In the bonk was a monk. The monk
looked like you. So he added a fonk
with a cow that went moodily moo
and a fat cat who grew a tattoo
The bee that looked like a flea
went weeeee down the mountain on a ski
knocked over the cow that went moo
and the fat cat (who lived in the zoo)
and landed on top of the honk
with a bonk and a donk and a zonk.
My Sneaky Teacher
My teacher is very sneaky,
she loves to be cheeky,
she has light fingers,
Good for stealing,
when we are having a meal,
it’s more common for her to steal.
She takes all our sweet wrappers
and pins them on the board
when she is feeling peckish.
She loves to sniff them and lick them
and one year she took Henry’s popcorn abroad.
Cheetahs Running
Cheetahs running across the grass,
Stopping in front of a big, blue car.
Spotty all over on their golden skin,
Running and running so they can win.
Eating zebra for their hungry tums,
Running away from blasting guns.
Christmas is Here
Reindeer running across the roof,
Here comes the tooth fairy with a tooth.
Santa’s coming with his boots,
Trees are dying and their roots.
Fire’s glowing red and hot,
Soon comes snowing white and lots.
Everyone’s laughing and having fun,
Eating pudding soaked in rum.
