Poems

In my box

Jumping jumpers jumping high, reaching for the great green sky
Flinging up down and around, trying to reach the sky
My dad and my mum coming together and then falling apart
Sharing and taking the precious piece

In my box

Small proportions of breakfast, lunch and dinner
Being pushed by giants around a raging rose red park
Tumbling down a humongous hill
Building blocks built high and the singing of children

In my box

Multi-coloured Lego from the nursery trapped in my heart
My box is made of hardened blue tack
which reminds me of my life now
My box is ALSO made of gold and has cat claw hinges

I shall look over my box

Keeping the memories safe in my heart

I will put in the box
My singing standing out in the silence
Getting stared at to make me put down my head
Laughing out loud

I will put in the box
A stance the width of my shoulders
Watching the ball soar through the sky
A swing and a lunge and there it flies

I will put in the box
Dog fur softly resting on my skin
Holding a puppy as it lays on my lap
As its head rests on my leg

I will put in the box
Holding my breath as I swim with an ecstatic feeling
Wrapping a warm towel around me
Taking off my goggles and placing then on the side

My box is fashioned by glistening memories and diamonds
the lid is made from emeralds
and safely hides my secrets

I shall sprint in my box
On the long white track
And finish in proudness

There were a lot of cats
They always sat on mats
They did not like the bats
That were very fat

1 2 3
is sitting in a tree
4 5 6
is sharing a Twix
7 8 9
are doing just fine
10 11 12’s
Cleaning the shelves

My house is big
What’s a fig,
Sometimes you get bored
A laptop I can’t afford.

I have lots of clothes
And some bread loaves,
I love this (Poetry) Zone
When I’m on it I don’t moan!

It gives me a headache
Just to think about it
Being really hard to do
And can’t be done by a nitwit

I feel really tired
To do all the sums
From computer systems
To names of grasshoppers’ hums

Geography, Science and Maths
And all sorts of things
Including mythical creatures
With six legs, and some with a pair of wings

Please don’t give me another one
It really gives me an headache
These quizzes are so hard
Stop giving me so many, for goodness’ sake!

I will put in my box
A hurting hand with a handful of scars
A chip of gold in a block of lead
The smashed rock on the sandy sea shore

I will put in my box
A helpless snowman with a loose head
A drop of contaminated water
The flash of a fish’s scale

I will put in my box
The air of their last breath
The water of their last drink
The food of their last meal

I will put in my box
The tears of my first day in school
The cry of my parents leaving
The scream of being alone

I will put in my box
The sickness of a disgusting drink
The laughter of good friends
The stench of ruined shoes

My box is fashioned from gingerbread
and raw chocolate and vegetables
with clouds on the lid and secrets in the corners
It’s hinges are the toe joints of my feet

School is boring, school is dumb but
school is full of lots of fun.
School is helpful to everyone
Sometimes its dumb and full of fun

Snowball fights are just such fun,
But if you’re getting hit by one…
RUN RUN RUN!
Build a snowman with a big top hat,
Carve a face then…
PAT PAT PAT!
Elves sing this song ,
Because their days are long,
“We work all day,
We work all night,
To get your presents,
JUST RIGHT.”

Santa looks at your list,
But to naughty people,
He shakes his fist,
Good ones get the prize,
Bad ones start to cry,
Hang your stockings with care,
Surprises will come,
St.Nick will be there.
Put up your tree
Purple or green,
Pink or blue,
yellow or black,
Fake or real,
With a sprinkle of snow on the top,
POP POP POP!

Put a star on the top,
With baubles all around,
And a big roast dinner,
Lots and lots to go round,
It’s time, it’s time,
FOR CHRISTMAS!
