Poems

winter wonders
like the icy crystal snow
falling from the sky
it looks like a spectacular
wonderland

Once there was a kid lost down in the deep forest
It was one dark stormy night
She was terrified and needed help
There was no way out once you were in the forest
Her Father once told her, “Just close her eyes and be brave
Never let anyone fear you even if you’re really scared.”
A guess it was just bad dream after all
Just close your eyes

Welcome to my sweet world!
Would you like a rainbow swirl?
Gummy bears hide in the Malteser rock woods,
With trees of candy floss and toffee apples,
And rainbow strip glass, delicious indeed.

As the Tictac bees tend to
The Haribo flowers, the marshmallow unicorns fly!
There are gingerbread houses for all,
As we climb Toblerone mountains
Oh, what a sugary sweet world!

There’s a sugar beach here, not sand!
Enjoy swimming in Coca-Cola
The rivers run with hot chocolate,
And the clouds are made of whipped cream!
Please grow some lollipops in the sherbet ground!

As jelly babies swim in melted chocolate,
The mini Randoms stroll along the biscuit path.
You can bathe in the Fanta sun,
Or watch it shower Skittles!
Let’s watch the sherbet straw fireworks fly!

Walk along the jelly bean bridge,
Or gaze at the fruit stars!
See the flying saucers in the sky,
You can eat your weight in chocolate bars!
You’re leaving now but come once more!

“Please sit down and we will start the magic display,”
Says the head who is looking away in dismay.
“Our school doesn’t have nearly enough talent,” she says, looking grey.
First up a girl tried to produce flowers from a wand
but she forgot that she had hay fever.
After that a boy tried to do a card trick
but there was a massive delay
because he had forgotten how to do the trick.
Finally, “Wait, who is that? Pray tell is that Miss May?”
She gets a small clay cat and with one flick of her wand
she turns it to a real live stray cat.
Everybody claps and says “HURRAY!”

It is difficult, dear sir,
For yourself to fathom faeries
When the sky is the limit
And the sky is out of reach
And the sky is visible off the ground

But we’ve been to the sky
And we’ve been through the sky
Rethought what’s a limit
And found what’s a bound
It is not a line or an angry man
Nor a DO NOT ENTER zone

Those things are slingshots
That push us into space
So the sky is not the limit
Not with flying paper planes
And a walking vegetable does not exist
Because you haven’t seen him with your eyes

So no, my sir,
The vision from this place
Is not the reality of that space
We do not have to be there
To know something lives there
Some things breathe inside the mind
And come alive only when we allow
Them space to exist

It’s a little thing we can do
I promise — you can try!
You can snap a finger
And sew with the fabric of your time.
Magic is not elusive
If you have sparks in your eyes

The world would be too boring
If what is visible were all the truth
But for us (we fell lucky)
An idea never lies.

One smile could simply change a life.
People rarely worry about what a smile means.
It could mean that you’ve rescued someone’s life,
or just pretty much made their day.
But those smiles are so contagious,
like a rock rippling through the water,
and it never stops,
and suddenly a wave of confusion
sweeps across you
and there you gaze upon the world
in which you live.
And you wonder to yourself
“If one smile could save a life from being taken,
I think I’ll share my joy.”

Where is the lost magic?
The magic is in the smile of my sister,
the magic is in the embrace of my brother,
the magic is in the love of my parents.
That’s the real magic!!!

Magic…
Magic is beautiful.
It can do anything.
From making the sick better,
to making the poor rich.
Wishing that you can
do well in your exams,
and having a successful future.
It can make tears into smiles,
and frowns into laughter.
Magic is wonderful.
It can mean a miracle.
But ‘How do you find it?’
that is the question.
All you have to do is
BELIEVE.

It’s amazing how,
With the world on a row,
The magic of life still stays.
Coz even with war,
Like a big roar,
It’s with us all the days.

We create,
Our fate,
Using this wondrous tool.
And we can think,
That in a blink,
We can’t even sit on a stool!

So let us thank,
Its goodness plank,
For giving us not much strife.
And now we know,
We wouldn’t be home,
Without the MAGIC OF LIFE !

A sparkle here, a sparkle there
A piece of glitter everywhere
Welcome to Wonderland they would say,
“You should have arrived yesterday.”
Glitz and Globes of Unicorn Tails,
Fuzzy Trolls and sparkling vales
Cupcakes and cakes, so much more,
Something will happen get ready to explore
Poof! You turn into something so majestic and pretty,
With big wings don’t be so gritty
Big bold colors pink and blue,
With a pair of really sparkly shoes
