POETRY CORNER
Poetry Corner PDF Print E-mail

The poet Philip Wells showed us how to find ideas for writing poetry, then we wrote our poems.
Some took less than 7 minutes - can you believe that! We were amazed and very proud of the results.. .


"Hello, my name is Philip Wells, and I try and show children that it's easy to write poetry"

 
Beecreeple by Eleanor PDF Print E-mail

Beecreeple

I creep
With creaks in my feet,
And take little children,
For me to eat,

I love the taste,
Of the children's bones,
Which are as hard,
As rocks and stones,

I want the parents,
To do as I say,
And if they do not,
I must lock them away,

But if they do,
I will let them go,
And I'll try out,
All the games I know,

I like to be alone,
Having fun with my plans,
Dreaming of travelling,
Everywhere I can,

Back up to heaven,
To see my monster friends,
And have a volcano party,
That never ends!

 
Fegazthiz by Stuart PDF Print E-mail

Fegazthiz

I am the volcano
Ready to erupt
I am the freebird
Really corrupt

They say I must share my joy and freedom,
But I feel caged
Like a tiger in a zoo
So just be careful I might come for you!

Through dark shadows
I glide like an eagle
Eyes shining with pride

One day I will break through
And help other people
Change my thoughts and ways
And be kind and calm
Like an ocean

Now I am a
Dormant Volcano...

Twiky by Robin PDF Print E-mail

Twiky

Eyes like gold
Skin like sand
Sounds like three mice singing at the opera
Small as a rat
And eats like a pig
It loves ladybird's, hates spiders
It dreams of food of a king's standard
Its nightmare is to have nothing in its mouth
Its secret wish is to be king of its kind.

By Robin (10)

 
There was a young lady from Crewe by Christina PDF Print E-mail

There was a young lady from Crewe

There was a young lady from Crewe
Who paddled her little canoe
She saw a great big shark
Who gave her a really big mark
The shark swung his tail and said",mooooooooooo".

The Spring of my Mind by Luwam PDF Print E-mail

The Spring of my Mind

The sun is rising,
The sea is a mirror -
I am a pigeon
Flying across the land
On a calm day in spring.
The river calm as a mirror
Running like a wind
Blowing your hair.

I am a sunflower
Nodding this way and that

And now I am the sun
Warming the river,
The fields of grass and corn.

I am an apple tree:
The apples are shining
Like they've been polished.

I am rising,
Shining like a rainbow
Reflected in the sea.

The joy of an Irish chip! by Paula PDF Print E-mail

The joy of an Irish chip!

Chips like a barbecue sizzling
In the boiling hot sun.
The joy of an Irish chip!

Tastes like the sun in your mouth
Burning your tongue.

The joy of an Irish chip!

In between my finger and thumb I can feel
A little hot grease like my sweat

The joy of an Irish chip!

A bright light at the end
Of a gloomy tunnel

The joy of an Irish chip!

It sounds like a snake
Hissing at its prey -

Bring me a million Irish chips!

ROMEWPHEIN by Lee PDF Print E-mail

ROMEWPHEIN

I am romewphein
I light up the sky
Like the morning sun
I am romewphein
I'm as small as a mouse
And as big as a mousetrap
I can drill through metal

I get into your fridge and
When you come back I'll be waiting.

I am a phoenix
I come from volcanoes
I light up like a solar flare

If you anger me
I shoot a stream of fire at you
So don't burn me up!

I'm as wise as an owl and
As old as a tree
I'm as fast as a jet and
As soft as a feather

If you listen at night you'll hear my cry
And be soothed like the sea.

By Lee

 
Boolegro by Jonathan PDF Print E-mail

Boolegro

Boolegro is a beach
and each of us can reach it
but only with a key
you can find it in your tea
if you drink it you can think it
think it and it appears
piers pointing out to the sparkly water
on the horizon
What lies on the horizon you`ll find
the treasure of those you seek and find
if you are full of greed
you cannot get what you need
to find a map of the holy land
you'll find your peace
and rest in pieces
on the beach of stormy pebbles

DO-ONKEY by Paula (9) PDF Print E-mail

DO-ONKEY

She has skin like velvet,
Eyes like marbles rolling across
Her bumpy, surprised face.
She jumps about like a monkey
Looking for nuts, her favourite munch.

She dreams of being an angel,
Angel of the sunrise,

Waking the world at dawn
With her flapping gold and white wings.

Horsekeyrob by Emma PDF Print E-mail

Horsekeyrob

His eyes are like jagged and shiny keyholes
When he opens his eyes
His powers jump out fiercely
Like a thousand volts
Hitting everything in sight
He is the size of a thousand giants
With feet the size of a palace
When he walks he shakes the world

His very, very, very, very, very long tail is longer than the world
When he breathes
It is like a hurricane every time

Sometimes he wishes he were not this big
Because he has no friends
Because he always hurts them accidentally
When he breathes
He always blows them away.

Group Poem

M ummy is a hot, gloomy sun.
U  pstairs she's putting on her makeup…
M ummy, I love you.
M ore and more I'm learning things about you:
Y ou're fantastic, I'm proud of you!


H annah loves her hamburgers
A nd she could eat them all day
N o-one loves her puppy like Hannah does
N othing can take her away
A nd her dream is a robot who takes
H er place and takes her to L.A. !

P aula's crazy and mad
A nd she's hardly ever bad;
U nder the rainbow
L ook for the gold
A nd then Paula will never be old.

 
The Gold Angels by Jessie PDF Print E-mail

The Gold Angels 

People marching in a bunch,
Gold diamonds twinkling
Like a rainbow,
The gold diamonds
Are marching,
To lots of diamonds
And they will see
Lots of butterflies too
Flapping their wings
And they will see
The Queen Butterfly
A Rose Flower,
She is looking
For more butterflies
To circle round
Rose diamonds
And make them
Go to a rainbow

Findrewpec by Aaron PDF Print E-mail

Findrewpec 

I am a lightning bolt from above
I am a book that you can read
Or a pencil you can write with
I am as silver as a ring
As bright as a star
You can see me from afar

I am a picture you can study
A globe that you spin
A keyboard that you type with
A plant you can water
Paper you can write on
A bird that can coo

Find out who I am
Find out who I am

DRACACEEDRA by Joshua PDF Print E-mail

DRACACEEDRA

He's as tall as a block of flats
And he sound like a giant jumping x 2
His skin is scaly and shimmy as goo
His fast eyes are as black as the night
His teeth are white as untouched snow
And sharp as a sharpened pencil
He loves to smell the burning trees
And hear the crash of all the buildings falling
All the buildings falling

There's a secret place hidden in the world
Where Dracaceedra loves to go
It's warm and the sun always shines
In the silence when Dracaceedra is still
As a tree

And he dreams of smashing the world like a glass ball crushed in his hand
He dreams of seeing nothing but shattered earth

By Joshua (10)

 
ANKUDRA by Japyra PDF Print E-mail

ANKUDRA

I am a slippery beast
From out of the deep
I am so silent
You can't hear a peep
When I wake up
I go to sleep again -
And I can dance
And I can dance
AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN

I am tribal
And I read the Bible
Get reading this book
Or you might get a hook that hurts
The book that bursts like a flame
Then there's no one to blame
Except Ankudra (that's me)
I am a Merlin
I bring books to life
I turn the letters
Into other little beasts
Baby snakes that follow you around
And slither on the ground -

They tell us we must meet then
And they will repair our sky

So we can fly
Like birds
In the wind of our words

By Japyra (10)

 
Untitled by Amal PDF Print E-mail

Untitled

I don't know
rhymes with go
Or I can row a boat
Where would you go?
I don't know
I like the summer
I like the cat
I like Cuba
And I like bats

I am a statue
Small as myself
I could be pop
I could be jazz
Or could be Mariah Carey

I like Heartbreaker
And when I'm an elephant
I have big ears
And I hear
Thumps and thumps and thumps
Of sound !


That make me go
Pom- Pom- Pom- Pom-
Pom Pom Pom
And laugh!

Drassomobe by Aaron PDF Print E-mail

Drassomobe

It could be a dinosaur
With a terrible roar
That's crashing and stamping
On the bright dream store
It could be a star
That is diamond bright
It could be an aeroplane
Without any flight.

Or it could be a car
Without any vroom
It could be space
Without an room

It could be foil
Without a twinkle
Or an old man
With only one wrinkle

Or it could be a river
Without a flow
Or it could be a bottle
That you have thrown

With a message inside
Saying DRASSOMOBE words
Say DRASSOMOBE
Say DRASSOMOBE

TRIDORD BY SELINA PDF Print E-mail

TRIDORD

IT IS PURPLE.
IT IS WIDE.
IT HAS NO HANDLE.
I PUSH IT OPEN.
WHEN I WENT INSIDE, IT WAS SCARY
IT WAS BLACK

BUT A SHINING IN THE CORNER
IS A TREASURE CHEST OFGOLD COINS
SHINING LIKE A SHINING
SHINING LIKE A SUN
SHINING LIKE A RAINBOW
THERE WAS A MUMMY

IT WAS SCARY
IT WHISPERED "GO AWAY!"
AND I WHISPERED "YOU GO AWAY!"


AND IT WENT AWAY LIKE MAGIC….

Ookentrab by Aidan PDF Print E-mail

Ookentrab

An invisible animal
That feeds on the sun
He loves fooling people
He hates being spotted
He dreams of people giving him beef and gravy
The only way to see him is to get a liver of a cosidels
And the eyes of hilsopis
And put them behind your eyes.
He sounds like a low wind
He feels like a jagged rock
He smells like a markisose
Dust in a well.

Aidan age 9
