5 Minute Challenge Poems

Snow falling to the ground,
Everyone wrapped up warm,
But what treasures can be found,
Within the snowflakes form,
Children laughing making snowmen,
Snowflakes hit the trees,
Santa will come soon, I wonder when,
Bringing presents please!

Eve Mitchell

In my bed I snore,
Dreaming of football what a score,
I ride my bike to the store,
I fell off, my knee is sore,
I eat some sweets, I want more,
At school science is such a bore.

Eve Mitchell

Once I had a rocket,
A rocket that could fit in my pocket,
Then it fell into green sticky goo,
And now it’s not so shiny blue.

Once I had a toy car,
It came out of a chocolate bar,
Now it’s all dirty brown,
So I put it down.

Once I had an Action man,
It looked just like my Nan,
It’s really cool,
‘Cos it had a dip in the pool.

Kyle Osborne

There was a big bomb,
An alien said “Where did you come from?”
I replied “I’m Mick,”
The alien said, “And I am Nick,”
I came from Mars,
I escaped from behind bars,
And here I am now I’m free,
Able to drink a cup of tea,
Here on Earth it’s quite cold,
And you have to do as you’re told!

Kyle Osborne

On a cold frosty night,
A big green goon stood on the moon,
The moon is shiny white,
On a day like this in June.

I got a fright,
When I watched a Toon,
On this cold frosty night,
Soon it will be noon.

Kyle Osborne

Dr. Who was up in space,
Dr. Who had very bad taste,
A ghost went boo,
He got trapped in a canoe,
The Dr. was in lots of pain,
His only chance was to travel to Spain.

Luke Wilton

We’ll eat some cake,
At half past three,
Don’t be late,
You won’t have tea,
We’ll have some sausage,
And some mash,
Take the car,
But please don’t crash!

Luke Wilton

There was a cat,
Who sat on a mat,
He started to chat,
With Rob the Rat.

I saw a bat,
Eating a gnat,
He got very fat,
He wished he were flat.

Back to the cat,
Oh no! He went splat,
By a man,
In a hat.

Alfie Rolfe


I got up last night,
It was a fright,
Because a baboon,
Was smiling at the moon,
He was very old,
And looked quite cold!

Alfie Rolfe

Last night,
I got in a fight,
A fat man came,
It was a shame.

Last night,
I was tucked up tight,
I was sung a lullabye,
About a man who ate a pie!

Alfie Rolfe

As the Grandfather clock,
Went Tick Tock,
I grabbed it’s hand,
And threw it in the sand.
The concert band,
Is rather bland,
They sang a song about a mangle,
In the shape of a triangle!

David Doyle

As excited dog’s tails waggle,
My brain starts to jiggle jaggle,
I chase after my handsome dog,
And nearly tripped over a great big log,
As I run down the beautiful lane,
It makes me want to stay in Spain.

Charley Wright

Unfortunately my car had a crash,
When my friend stayed as a guest,
Dad had to dash,
To get the rest,
As mum didn’t have the cash,
To get the car looking it’s best.

Charley Wright

There was some ice,
Shaped like mice,
There was also rice,
It was very nice.

There was a white kite,
That was in flight,
In the night,
It gave me a fright.

Chloe Lummis

Here we go here we go,
Down comes all the snow,
We’ll get it high,
We’ll get it low,
Here we go here we go,
Down comes all the snow.

All the houses lay out their hay,
While in the air Santa rides his sleigh,
Round and round the world he goes,
With Rudolph and his shiny red nose.

All the children tucked in their bed,
Cuddled up to their favourite Ted,
Here we go here we go,
Down comes all the snow.

Chloe Carrington

One day I met a pest,
And he was wearing a vest,
He climbed in his nest,
And I saw him doing a maths test.

I shouted up to the tree,
He shouted back “Want a cuppa tea?”
Now I knew he was out of his mind,
I thought I had better just be kind.

I heard some banging in that tree,
He shouted, “Look what I can see,”
Then he started to watch Catherine Tate,
Eating mash and peas off her plate.

I said to stop,
I got down on my knees,
And he threw down his plate,
And said “Two more please!”
Chloe Carrington

I met a boy,
He gave me a toy,
He said, “I’m the best,”
I gave him money in a chest.

Late last night,
He gave me a fright,
While I was flying a kite,
He went on a flight.

Chloe Carrington

I’m making mash,
So you’d better dash,
Now you’re in your truck,
Just don’t get stuck.

Ashley Le Brun

There was a man who had a boar,
He kept it in his underwear drawer,
It ran out the gate,
So the man was late,
For a very, very important date.

There was a duck,
His name was Chuck,
He was stuck,
In lots of muck,
He got in his truck,
But he still was stuck!
He didn’t have much luck,
That duck called Chuck.

Hannah Davis

The bride walks down the aisle, her head held high,
Her parents proud as they cry,
The bridesmaids follow in bow and sash,
Quickly they walk down the aisle in a flash.

Sophie Leppard

Blend of colours in the sky,
As all the birds swiftly fly,
The bright colours sparkle in the light,
They give us each a blinding sight.

The night was dark,
No light shone in the park,
The night soon got very cold,
As the moon shone faintly gold.

Sophie Leppard


I sit here drawing,
While the teacher is bawling,
Bored in my chair and nothing to do,
I know that Sarah will need the loo!

Jake Ellis

I was dancing under the moon,
But it ended too soon,
My heart was bold,
But it got too cold.

Jake Ellis

My dog was called Bob,
He got chased by a mob,
One of them had a fork,
My dog started to talk,
To stop my brain getting knocked off my face,
It’s now a race, I’ve got to pick up the pace,
Me and my dog were in a chase,
Will we survive the human race?
We had to run,
They had a gun,
And so I decided to throw an iced bun,
I said to Bob “That’s it we’re done!”

Che Mc Queen

My mate ate my plate,
So I punched him in the chest,
Because he thinks he is the best.
He ate too much cake,
And got a stomach ache,
I ate my dinner,
And thought I was a sinner,
‘Cos I punched my mate in the chest,
Because he thinks he is the best,
I bought a new plate,
That was my fate.

Che Mc Queen
“Hello, I’m a frog,
I got eaten by a dog,
It wasn’t very nice,
I say it twice,
I saw it’s heart,
And in it’s belly, jam tart,
And in the night,
He gave me a fright!

Che Mc Queen

Santa’s elves are out today,
Trying to keep danger away,
Christmas Eve is ever so bright,
So Santa won’t get lost in the dead of night,
Children asleep, tucked up in bed,
Dreams of Christmas in their head.

Reece Cooper

The moonlight shone down on the houses below,
We can’t see anything, the wind does blow,
You are frightened and scared, you don’t know what to do,
But when the wind blows harder,
They are coming for you.

Chloe Wheeler

The creepy creature looks like a cat,
Or it might be a big black bat,
Down I sat,
On my mat,
Wondering if it was a rat!
My sister, the brat,
Wanting to chat,
Lay on the floor flat,
And scared away the creature that looked like a cat.

Chloe Wheeler

The snowflakes falling one by one,
People sliding on the ice,
Children outside having fun,
The warmth of my house,
Is so nice.

Adam Rose

As the night passes by,
In my bed I lie,
In my head I cry,
And give a sigh.

Adam Rose

I don’t like Brussel sprouts, they are Yuck!
I don’t like it when my bread is eaten by the duck,
I don’t like it when my chicken goes mad and starts to cluck,
I don’t like it when other people get all the luck.

Teegan Talbot

At night I go to sleep in my bed,
With my teddy, Ted,
I wake up in the morning,
Groaning and moaning,
The monsters under my bed creep out,
I scream out loud and shout,
I think of sheep,
To fall asleep,
The moon shines down on my head,
I fall asleep and the monsters are dead.

Teegan Talbot

It was a freezing night,
And at an enormous height,
I saw a baboon,
I didn’t want to look,
So instead looked at the moon.

The night was very bright,
It was a brilliant sight,
To watch the stars at such a height,
But when I look at the moon,
I wish it were noon.

Tess Young

G&T is a place you can be free,
And we always try to agree,
The things Mrs. Laing says are very nice,
In G&T you have to be wise,
I also enjoy the activities we do,
Mrs. Laing will give us a clue,
G&T is the place to be,
A place to learn, a place to be free.

Prince Sefa

I went to the bar,
Though it was far,
I went by car,
To fetch a jar.

Joshua Evans

I saw my mate,
At the gate,
He said he’d been to museum Tate,
A big machine was delivering a crate,
He said it was great!

Taylor Smith

Winter, the best time of year,
Snow falling gently down,
People full of festive cheer,
Snow covering the bark that’s brown.

Taylor Smith

Hi, my name is Faye,
My favourite day is today,
Tomorrow is Wednesday,
The next is Thursday,
My birthday’s in May,
What’s your favourite day,
I hope yours is today.

Amy Arthur

The sparkling sheet of white,
Turned out to be soft snow,
In the blue darkness of the night,
White breath comes out when I blow,
What a beautiful sight,
All that soft snow,
In the blue darkness of the night.

Amy Arthur

Tonight is the night,
That we have watch the fight,
It will be very dark,
In the green grassy park,
Our snack is going to be a rib,
So remember to bring your bright orange bib!

Amy Arthur

In the dark and gloomy night,
When the ghosts come into sight,
I grab my pillow over my eyes ever so tight,
Noises, noises in the night.

Kelly Johnson

There was an alien ship,
That had a fright,
When he choked on a pip,
But it turned out alright.

Kelly Johnson

I’ll meet you at the bend,
At the end,
Of the day,
I say, why don’t we play,
At Rocky Bay,
I’d like to play with clay,
Said Mae.

Alex Clarke

The mice took some spice,
And rolled the dice,
They thought it was nice,
One was shy,
And started to cry,
‘Cos he didn’t like it,
He’d told a lie.

Alex Clarke

In my house,
I have a cat,
His name is Sprouse,
And he chased a rat.

The rat is hiding somewhere,
Underneath the old armchair,
One day I got out that cat,
“Go and find that horrid rat.”

Amy Ba

I drove in my car,
And went to the bar,
I drank my beer in a jar,
And did the Cha cha cha!

Ryan Osborne

I was walking the plank,
As the old ship sank,
The pirate’s name was Frank,
He always drank,
He sits on the plank,
Looking blank.

Lauren Ashby

There was a loved king,
He liked to sing,
The king was rich, he had lots of bling,
That was the life of the very rich king.

Lauren Ashby

I’ve got this batch of hay I have to catch,
I’ll put in in my little hatch,
Then I’ll lock the little latch,
‘Cos I’ve got to go to the match.

Nicola Davies

The king is wearing his crown,
But today he feels really down,
The throne is was sitting on,
Felt like a lumpy pom pom,
His crown dropped,
Out his tears popped,
He was upset all day long.

Nicola Davies

My friend walked around the bend,
To get the latest fashion trend,
She thought the walking would never end!

Tilly Minns

Shining so sparkly, it is sand,
Get so hot, need to be fanned?
It doesn’t get canned,
Does it come from another land?

Joseph Wootten

Yeah! For Ickle Pickle,
He has found himself a nickel,
He is so hunky,
But also chunky,
Oh look! A treasure chest,
No I’ll hide it in my nest.

Joseph Wootten

Snowmen in the streets,
Keep warm and stayin bed,
And eat lots of sweets,
By morning they will lose their heads.

Daniel Toley

I’m going to Aqua Splash,
I am going to have to dash,
Before I have my sausage and mash,
Hopefully I won’t have a crash,
With a man who has a moustache.

Daniel Toley

In the dead of night,
Such a horrible sight,
Zombies strolling,
Me calling,
In the dead of night,
Such a horrible sight,
I will run and run,
Calling for my mum,
I run and run while zombies come.

Daniel Toley

Today I have got a maths test,
And so I will try my best,
The maths test is out of eight,
And I am going to try and beat Kate.

Daniel Toley

I am going into space,
It is a floatable place,
The planet I went to was Mars,
And it’s full of cholcolate bars.

Daniel Toley

I went to the trees and saw a pretty chick,
When I went there my hair was neat and slick,
I saw people playing footy by the bricks,
They pulled off some very nice tricks,
I bought a lolly and took some licks,
Watching dogs chasing sticks.

Jack Price

The snow is a beautiful colour, crystal white,
I love to play in the cold snow,
A frosty blanket on the ground at night,
People kissing under mistletoe,
Come on people let’s have a snowball fight,
Christmas time is so jolly,
Watching snow, fall what a sight,
Seeing what presents you got, Gosh Golly!

Jack Price

Robbers scavenging houses at night,
While the moon is shining ever so bright,
Robbing houses looking for money,
What will people think when it’s sunny?
Creeping away in silence,
Runs away when he hears the sirens,
Gets caught by police,
Says let me go please?

Jack Price

I have a fish who swims in his tank,
My uncle who bought it his name is Frank,
Yesterday he went to the bank,
This piece of paper is blank,
So my uncle had to walk the plank.

Emma Staines

I went to the beach and got tanned,
In the sand,
I saw a band marching on the land,
My hand was full of sand,
When I went to see the band.

Chloe Oliffe

Cold snowy winter’s day,
Sun peeping as gentle as snow,
Like a bright day in early May,
Watch the snow fall and flow,
As the tired sun creeps away,
Children sleep ready for a new day.

Ashlea Brewin

A small mountain,
A great big moon,
A dark blue sky in the month of June,
A trickle of rain,
A cloud of blue,
Someone is watching over you.

Ashley Brewin

So cold and white,
It is snowing,
It is freezing at night,
And the wind is blowing.

Jay Wright

The crust of bread,
It was stale,
The bread was on the board.
FOR SALE!

Christopher Clark

It was a winter fright,
Dark black sky, all through the night,
There was a frightened cry,
Out came the huge brave knight.

Christopher Clark

Walking in the sand,
Here comes the band,
They look very grand,
Give them a hand,
Coming up the sand,
To play on their stand.

Daniel Cain

It is winter’s night,
All the alleys give you a fright,
Walking the ground,
Snow is swirling all around.
