Poems

I would like to apologise,
for not being on for long,
the last time I posted was last year!
Where has time gone?

I’m almost a teen now,
growing up is hard,
but knowing that as I grow up,
my poems stay with me,
so I stay a child at heart.

So I apologise,
that I have not been on,
I’m working on something big right now,
I hope it won’t take long.

I like sunshine
I like snow
I like brown leaves when they blow
I like cookies
I like cake
I like waffles
when I wake
I like collies
I like cats
I like clowns
in funny hats
I like baseball
I like trains
I like sleeping
when it rains
I like stories at bedtime
I like poems when they rhyme

There was a girl named Katie,
She had a friend called Bettie,
They were so athletic,
They were just fantastic
They also had a friend called Jessie.

I am Rain
A girl with nothing to lose
A girl who doesn’t understand
A girl whose questions haven’t been answered

I am Rain
A girl who is growing up
A girl who is finally beginning to see who she really is

Inspired by Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan

I came into class absent and mouldy,
even though a boy came in boldy,
A cookie was delicious,
everyone was funk-cious,
I came into class mouldy.

skin and bone creature howling
snarling and growling
hunting for its prey
running and jumping like an acrobat
walking in a moonlit night
fighting with others, telling them who’s boss
he is feisty
he is marvellous
he is a wolf

There was an young girl called Milly,
Who was pretty silly
She stayed home day and night,
Said, Let’s go and have a fight,
Why is that young girl called Milly.
