Spring Term 07 Various Poems

Love

The power of love is as strong as diamonds,
As soon as that one most beautiful person catches your eye
Like a bullet you know she is the one for you,
To hold when you are falling,
Her eyes that sparkle brightly in the sunlight,
Her touch is as soft as feathers from a dove,
Her kiss will hypnotize you for a lifetime,
And you will never let go of her,
But you know even if you never see her again
Your love for her will keep running.

Ryan



Seasons

I wake up to spring
I can hear the birds sing,
The bright sun and the chill in the air,
The flowers start to bloom,
Pink blossom everywhere

Spring has gone and summer’s here,
I hear the children playing near,
Sounds of laughter, it’s time for fun,
I can’t wait to play and enjoy the sun

Today it’s fall, and I’m having a ball,
Autumn leaves fall, while the trees stand tall
Bright vivid colours, red, gold and brown
Children playing with leaves on the ground

Winter is here, there’s a chill in the air,
Crisp white snow lies everywhere,
The snow is bright and shines like a light
Slowly melting into the night.

Alycia
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Thanks to the daughters of Eve and Sons of Adam
The war between Narnians was eventually fathomed

The oldest was Peter who fought through the night
He was courageous and brave to get involved in the fight

Susan was told off for touching the historical art
She was beautiful, kind and ever so smart

Edmond was imprisoned by the wicked Queen
The beavers that saved him were never mean

Lucy, she was so honest and sweet
She saved the lives of the people who had been beat

The wicked White Witch dwelled in a castle of ice
She’s mean and cruel and definitely not nice!

Aslan the lion killed the White Witch
For Aslan he had won, but for the Pevensies it had only begun

Dominique
My Furry Alarm Clock

He climbs into my bed at half past twelve,
He pounces and knocks things off my shelves
He parks himself on top of my feet
He hisses and growls, then rips up my sheet

He falls asleep while purring quite loudly
He later wakes up and stretches proudly
He licks my face and creeps up my body
He claws my school clothes and makes them look shabby

He follows me as we walk down the stairs
He disappears into his own secret lair
He later appears with a smile on his face
He makes me canter as he picks up the pace

He scratches the food cupboard but it has been wired!
He looks at me sweetly but I decide I’m too tired
He tries to escape but the door is locked
He is my cat and he’s my furry alarm clock!

Abbie
Sounds All Around Us

Loud and low
You can shout or moan
Calm and quiet
Don’t make a riot!
Chitter chatter, does it matter?
We’re always talking
Even when we’re walking
Everybody’s screaming
Please say I’m dreaming

Lucy
The Beach

The golden sands relax
As the beautiful waves roll on top of them
The palm trees sway
As the calm wind rushes through them
They whisper secrets to each other.
The ice cream carts giggle as the children choose their ice creams
Suddenly darkness falls
Everything goes to sleep but the waves
Still stroke the golden sands.

Danielle
Drama Queen

The throbbing pain,
I can feel it crawling up my wrist,
My sight becomes blurred,
Tears trickle vertically down my face.
I look gloomily below,
Glaring at my splintered wound,
My cheeks become red and hot,
I try to fight the pain.

Pouring red blood oozes out with my splinter
Bringing relief and happiness to my thoughts,
I thought I wouldn’t last another hour,
But that has all changed thoroughly.
I tugged on my mum’s coat sleeve,
Pressured tears burst onto my skin

“Here it’s alright,
Stop being a drama Queen,
It will be better in no time,
Just run it under cold water.”

I am NOT a drama Queen!!

Danielle
The Dragon

It has burning fiery eyes
Gleaming fire rushing out of its mouth
It’s scaly red body as dirty as ever,
The wings are flapping everywhere
It’s really angry, so watch out!
It lurks round every corner
But my Mum always come back in time for tea!

Darcey
The House

The creaky house sits and stares,
The windows are broken like razor sharp teeth,
Gleaming fire is burning behind the crumbling door
The walls are wooden stiff, painted black
The roof is raw with sun-blistered paintwork,
Out of the fearsome chimney smoke puffs like a sleeping dragon,
The years pass but nothing changes
Except………..one girl entered
And never returned!

Darcy
If I were an Animal….

If I were an animal I would be
A Kangaroo who sits up a tree,
If I were an animal I would be
A baby bear around for tea
If I were an animal I would be
An orange dog who swims in the sea
If I were an animal I would be
A little bird that has to sneeze
If I were an animal I would be
Nobody except me!

Darcey
Shoes

I’m bright red and I small of leather
I’m shiny and new,
I’ve just been wrapped up in a beautiful box,
I travel the long journey to my new home.
I walk the streets
Traveling to shops all over town
My colour is fading
I begin to tramp the streets tiredly
I’m old and dirty
I’m a shoe

Lucy
Dragon

It has eyes of flame,
Claws like the blade of a knife,
Green scaly skin,
It’s a giant of terror and fear,
Oh I do so hate my Mum!

Lucy
If I were an animal….

If I were an animal I would be
An elephant lying in a tree
If I were an animal I would be
A tiger sitting down for tea

If I were an animal I would be
A bear taking honey form the bees,
If I were an animal I would be
A penguin dancing happily

Lucy
I Have a Secret

I have a secret I hold with me,
Should I keep it or set it free,
To my friend I could tell,
She might have one for me as well,
But should I keep it and hold it tight,
And let it sleep with me every night?

Chelsea
Dark Alley

Suspiciously mind blowing,
Animals stalling,
Rats and spiders scatter through the darkness,
The mess is totally appalling

A mischievous place,
Full of watchful eyes,
That jump out in front of you,
Like a devil’s surprise

A scary monster that comes out at night,
It screeches when you walk,
If you come out quick enough
A lesson will be taught

Dangerously petrifying,
If you live in this home,
It’s full of deadly things,
That you would have never known.

Natalie
It Hurts, It Hurts!

It hurts, it hurts!
What’s wrong?
I cut myself….ow, it hurts
How?
It hurts too much to explain….it hurts!
Stop whining
It’s bleeding….it hurts
Stop being such a drama Queen!
But Mum….ow it hurts
It’s only a scratch
But, but…….it hurts!

Dominique
Tornado

It destroys everything
In it’s way,
The whirling monster
Twists and turns,
Cars fly through the air
Like birds in flight,
Everything is demolished
People hear the siren
They rush to safety
It’s too late, people are caught!
People scream as
Their loved ones get carried off,
By the whirling monster
The storm ends
People breathe a sigh of relief!

Danielle
The Dark Alley

The dark, dark alley,
Is very, very scary,
I saw a rat,
Then a bat,
Now there’s a cat!
When I was Young

When I was young I had a cardboard boat,
That sailed the seven seas searching for dragons to slay,
Coloured blankets were used for an African tent,
At night I would climb a steep mountain to my bed,
I would dream all night where I could go tomorrow.

Molly
Dragon in the Shed

The noises started in the shed,
Moaning and groaning, bang and crash.
I could see dragon shaped shadows
Through the dirty glass,
Lights flashed like yellow fire.
Oh No!...It’s coming out,
The door creaked as it opened,
As I hid behind the apple tree and froze with fright,
I peeped round and I could see him come towards me,
It was only Dad!

Molly
If I were an animal

If I were an animal I would be a gorilla that picks at fleas,
If I were an animal I would be a shark that lives under the sea,
If I were an animal I would be a bear that steals honey form bees,
If I were an animal I would be an elephant that likes to sit in a tree,
If I were an animal I would be a penguin that slides down slopes on his tummy!

Molly
Teacher Talk

Why do teachers talk so much
And make the children sleep?
They talk without taking a breath,
We’d rather count some sheep.

They talk and talk and talk and talk,
Until they’ve lost their voice
Then they use it as an excuse
For bunking off their course.

They talk until the children snooze,
And then they shout at them,
But all the kids have nothing to lose,
It’s not their fault teachers, it’s you!

They talk and talk with all their might
Until at last it’s lunchtime
If I could write what they say in a day
It’ll probably take four fortnights!

They talk and talk and talk and talk,
Until finally one day,
Their tongues can’t bear it any more
And decide to run away!

A word of caution to all teachers,
Quickly it’s not too late,
Remember to think about what you say,
And do not bore the kids away,

NOW THAT’S YOUR HOMEWORK FOR TODAY!

Joel
The Gibberdonk

The Gibberdonk has fluffy fur,
And if you stroke it, it will purr,
But if you touch it’s face,
It will hit you with a mace!

The Gibberdonk has bright blue eyes,
But if you stare you will despise,
Your best friend
Will drive you round the bend.

The Gibberdonk’s favourite food,
Which it will regurgitate once chewed,
Is human with
A touch of Cumin!

The last most noticeable fact,
So please take note to remain intact,
Is it’s tail,
Which if you cut off will get you in jail!
If I were an animal ….
If I were an animal I would be,
A penguin with two massive feet,
I would swim through the sea,
Through the city of Atlanta,
And then I would be a frog,
And drink lots of Fanta,
I would widen my chest
And float to the top,
Then I would
Be an owl,
Who wants to be a cop.

Jack
Storm

The storm is a wolf
Tearing and ripping the sky
Roaring like thunder.

Jack
Lynx

A lynx
A pouncing cat
As elegant as a swan
As colourful as a great reef
A lynx

Jack
The Cat

The cat
Ready to pounce
A killer cat always
Maybe later…I need to rest
The cat

Jack
Strawberries

Sumptious and lovely
Tastes so sweet
Ruby Red
All of them a special treat
Watery splendour
Berry bliss
Everlasting sensation
Ripe and juicy
Ready and waiting
Yummy to eat

So enjoy!

Dominique
If I were an animal I would be..

If I were an animal I would be
A monkey that drank green tea,
Swimming in the water,
Dancing with the fish,
If I were a monkey that would be my wish.

Daisie
Flowers

Funky fragrance
Lovely to look at
On display for you to see
Wonderful colours, red, pink and mauve
Even if they’re artificial they are great
Roses are my favourite
Stylish and pretty.

Daisie
Under the Kitchen Table

A serpent’s cave
Covered in wet golden sand,
A big lorry
Flashing red and yellow,
A secret hide out
No grown ups allowed,
An ambulance
Rushing my cousins to hospital,
A water palace
Filled with mermaids and dolphins,
A mystery land
With unicorns and fairies,
A haunted castle
Filled with scary ghosts.

Katana
I Have a Secret

I have a secret,
The most important secret of all,
Only I know the secret
That everyone wants to know.
I can whisper you the secret,
If you promise not to tell,
The secret is so fantasizing,
It’s a secret you’d want to yell.
This secret can only be heard,
This secret cannot be seen,
From a secret like this there’s a lot to be learned,
Your ears can hear the secret only.
I am about to tell you the best secret of all,
That cannot even be seen through a crystal ball,
Here it comes,
It’s what we’ve been waiting for,
The secret is…….

Abbie
If I were an animal I would be…..

If I were an animal I would be,
A bottle-nosed dolphin swimming in the sea,
Diving in and out of the water, warning off sharks,
Watching fish leap and play in their own miniature parks.

I would hate the trainers who make wild dolphins work,
I would hate the vicious predators that roam and lurk,
I would love the people who set us free,
If they were us they would get the same treat.

The problem is that I’m not as dolphin,
Or any creature of that sort,
I’m just human,
With legs not fins, leaping not diving and playing sports.

Abbie
If I Had a Magical Potion

If I had a magical potion,
I would turn myself into a fly,
Travel the world like a private spy,
Soaring high in the big blue sky,
Observing everybody’s moves,
Watching and listening,
Enjoying the views,
Time in motion,
Oh how I wish I had a magical potion!

Lucy
It Hurts!

It happened one minute ago
in the garden on the steps,
Quick, call a Doctor, no an ambulance,
There’s blood everywhere,
I’m going to die, I’m only young,
Help!
Oh! Here comes Mum to save my life,
A plaster, a big one, I hope it’s not broken,
Wait! A plaster? Surely that’s not right,
I need stitches!
Oh! A lollipop, strawberry, my favourite,
Perhaps I’ll live after all!

Lucy
I Had a Secret

I had a secret,
Do you want to know?
Chocolate and sweets or yummy treats,
Family and friends sometimes go round the bend,
Now it’s time for this secret to come to an end.

Lucy
Dragon…

A breath of fire,
Scaly back and pointy teeth,
Roars out loud to everyone,
Bald head with a big nose to match it,
Filled with plain evilness,
Scowling down upon you,
His face is red,
You know….my teacher is SO annoying!

Rachel
Fred

I have eyes of flame and live in Kuchunga,
My mother says I look ten years younger,
I’m black with blue spots form head to toe,
While I’m watching television I always sew,
I’m cross-eyed, with two left feet,
My favourite food is red meat,
I blubber out the things I say,
And never know what bills to pay,
My universe is pink and white,
And once you see it you’ll get quite a fright,
You know what my name is,
My mates call me Fred.

Rachel
The Dark Alley

Ahead looks spooky,
Dark and gloomy,
Silence fills the air,
I’ve got to go through, if I dare.

I can see cobwebs with spiders hanging low,
Making my path so difficult to go,
Bats flapping their wings close to my head,
I wish there was another route instead!
If I Had a Magical Potion

If I had a magical potion,
I would make it for me to drink,
If it worked I would shrink,
My Hotwheel cars I could then drive,
Zooming around in my new Aston Martin DB9,
I would give some potion to one of my friends,
To drive the Corvette, we would race around the bends.
Jack Frost

A boy named Jack comes throughout the nasty night,
As he comes he blows the freezing frost,
It spreads form car to car,
Then he flies away in the midnight sky,
People wake to find it slippy,
And really very nippy,
Oh Jack Frost stay away.

Chloe
A Fantastic Job

As I blast the ball,
The crowd were relying on me to score,
So were my mates.
It flew away into the goal,
“Goal”
The crowd were roaring.
I celebrated my fabulous goal,
Ronaldo, Henry and Roony celebrated with me.
That was my hat-trick,
I was proud of myself,
It was the ninetieth minute.
The ref blew his whistle,
It was over,
Four, two, to us,
I felt as happy as the crowd were,
It made my liver quiver,
And my knees freeze!

Jack
The Demon Teacher

Her eyes are like balls of lave
Raining from a volcano,
Her shriek hickles like a cranky old witch,
When she is angry her face goes bright,
And steam spits out of her ears.
She steams at you like a bull
And fire is squirting from her nostrils,
But deep down you know,
She is the teacher you dream about.
Magic Potion

If I had a magic potion
I would change these things,
My teacher would no longer shout,
And I could fly with wings,
School work would be easy,
Homework already done,
Children would always be happy,
Having lots of fun.
I could eat sticky sweets and
My teeth would never be rotten,
All the naughty things I’ve done
Would always be forgotten.
So if I had a magic potion,
How happy I would be,
For then I could eat chocolate,
For breakfast, dinner and tea!

Hannah
Nightmare School

I go to a school called the Nightmare School,
Where creepy crawlies are on every wall,
There are bats in the corners and spiders on the floor,
Ghosts in the classrooms hiding behind the door.

Witches amd wizards making nasty spells,
Brewing potions with horrible smells,
There are blood and bones in every room,
And witches flying about on their brooms,

Slugs and snails leave a slimy trail,
And rats and lizards run around
With no tails,
And that is why they call it…
THE NIGHTMARE SCHOOL!

Amy
If I Were an Animal…

Lions roar,
Monkeys eat bananas,
Bears growl,
Dogs can bark,
Is that all they do?
Well if I were an animal
I would be a hyena that can laugh,
Or a dolphin that can perform tricks!

Kelly
Little Whale

Little whale, little,
Swimming in the sea,
Oh flap your tail
Little whale
And swim to me.
Little whale, little whale,
What small fins you’ve got,
You are so small in the vast sea,
Really just a dot!

Daniel
What do Animals Do?

Monkeys like jumping through the trees,
Fishes are swimming through the seas,
Crocodiles love to bite,
While chameleons quickly disguise.

Lions are fond of eating meat,
They hide in the grass and then they leap,
Hippos like to stomp their feet in the water,
But are really finding fish to slaughter.

Cheetahs are extremely fast,
But dogs just sit and bark,
The bears have lots of hair,
And the birds dance in mid-air.

Snakes are slimy and like to swirl,
But they also like to curl,
Turtles enjoy life in a shell,
And when they have races don’t do very well!

Kieran
My Unusual Pet

Once there was an unusual pet,
Who had a fear of going to the vet,
The reason for this pet’s fear,
Is because he only had one ear.

He had more legs than any others,
Not like the rest of his brothers,
One eye bigger than the other,
Who was very scared of his mother.

His nose as big as an anteater,
He could run as fast as a cheetah,
His unusual size head
was bigger than your bed!

His really long tail
was as long as a whale,
Let me introduce you to
My pet rabbit,
His name is Tablet.

Chloe
Spring

Orange, red, yellow, green,
Different flowers everywhere to be seen,
So prettyful to look at,
The sun so bright, the sky so new,
Brightens up the day when you’re feeling blue,
The grass so green, the trees so tall,
With little hopping rabbits so tiny and small,
The soft, fluffy clouds filling the sky,
With little white birds gliding by.

Mia
The Ocado Man

Oh the Ocado man,
Didn’t deliver down my way,
The CFC was late,
The vans didn’t get passed the gate.

Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Stupid, stupid man,
Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Who broke the conveyer belt!

Oh the Ocado man,
Should have delivered form five to six,
It’ now past midnight,
Oh fiddlesticks!

Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Stupid, stupid man,
Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Who broke the conveyer belt!

Oh the Ocado man,
Has finally arrived,
The eggs were at the bottom,
Half of it was forgotten!

Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Stupid, stupid man,
Oh stupid, stupid, stupid man,
Who broke the conveyer belt!

Natalie
