Inside
All I can see
Is only the thing
That speaks to me.
It sings
With the loudest of voices
Showing me
The things I could never imagine.
Poems
Three Stray Cats
Why life is different
Why life is different
The stray cats are in the garbage can
The garbage truck sent them to Paris
So the stray cats climbed the Eiffel tower
And the stray cats got stuck up there
The Little Duck
Once there was a duck
who lived on a lake
She wanted bee
but how could she get one?
One day she saw a bee
She almost ate it
She grabbed it
and put it in the water
and it was dead
That Was Summer
Have you ever smelt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time
When you were travelling
And feeling sick
From the twisting and turning car?
That was summer.
Remember that time
When you were waiting
For nightfall
So you could go out into the backyard.
And you could see the moon and the planets,
And even name the constellations?
That was summer.
If you try very hard,
Can you remember that time
When you were begging your Mum and Dad
To take you to the ice cream shop
Down the road?
Remember how
You were getting
Your favourite ice cream
In your favourite way.
Do you remember smelling the sunshine?
That was summer.
Mr Chewbacca Fuzzypants
Mr Chewbacca Fuzzypants, our cat
gets called stupid names
like Tabs, or Tabby, or Chew.
He does gross things
(you don’t need to know!)
He wakes me up every morning
How cheeky is that?
I don’t want to get up at 6.30am.
When my mum is painting
or doing mosaics or crafts,
the one thing that annoys my mum is –
guess what?
He sits on them.
Now, our cat is cute,
our cat is annoying,
our cat is good,
but when he scrounges a fish finger
he leaves it on the floor
so no-one can eat it.
He will not hunt a mouse or a rabbit
but hunts mushrooms,
and he loves the tops off bottles.
Although our cat is very annoying
I love him to bits.
PS – everything is true
Food Colouring
Apple is orange and blueberry green
oranges, too, pineapple is blue.
Ice-cream is pink,
chocolate red,
pie is purple – eating it in bed!
The Falling Car
There was a car,
It wasn’t going in the drain,
It was falling down,
It disappeared,
The gardener then recovered the car,
It was then going on the road,
Then in the house,
Then the petrol pump,
Then to the shopping mall,
It went far, far away from me,
Into the sky,
Then it fell down again,
One lamb was coming,
The car fell on the lamb,
The lamb was on fire,
The lamb cried,
The car was surprised!
The car could not find its home,
The car turned and turned,
And the car was happily lost!
