Remember by Heather Piare (aged 11)

Can you remember those that are gone?
Only when the stars are bright enough to forget the sorrow.

And do you grieve the life of man?
Only when there will be no tomorrow.

For our sun will set, and our moon will rise,
and our stars and moon will fill the skies.

Do you remember those that are gone?
Only when the heartbreak dies.

Lost Inside by Corale Hughes

Weeks on end I suffered with the pain.
This was only the beginning.
The screaming inside, I wanted the hurt to go.
Inside me a little girl wanting to get out.
I attended school, still hurting, nothing was getting easier.
My arms hurt and my stomach too.
Why couldn't I be normal?
One day, I just surrendered.
'Miss!' I shouted, 'I can't do this anymore!'
I cried.
My mum came into school and sobbed, 'Why?'
Then I knew, how much damage and hassle I had caused.
Not just to me, but to my whole family.
I've bounced back now, and I've learnt to cherish everything I've got, especially my mum.
She helped me through this.
My mum's my hero and my guardian angel.
Now I'm left with scars,
Scarred for Life.

Birthday by Pranav Shukla (aged 13)

Today is the day
Coz it's my birthday
I'm gonna cut the cake
I'm gonna celebrate
I'm partying all day
Nobody is coming late
At 3pm I'm gonna close the gate
My party is not gonna be the same
Coz the others' parties are lame
After tying our shoe laces
We will play some football games
Then, Paintball in which we will aim
Partying so late that we'll forget our names

Happy Day by Natalie (aged 12)

The flowers they love to do Mexican waves,
the winds they sing to each other all day long,
the sea it loves to play Chinese whispers
and finally the sun makes your day a happy one.

The Tears Flow by Hannah Hathorn (aged 11)

The tears flow,
Your voice goes,
You fade into a distant land.
The wind howls,
The rain falls,
And your life is overgrown.
I miss you,
I need you,
Your life was my life too.
Come back please,
You're my hope,
Your life was more than I had thought.
I love you,
You know that,
But just how do I show it more?
Now you're gone,
I am alone,
I need your warmth to help me grow.
Sweet pleasure,
You wonder,
My mother,
My future.
Where do I go?
Where do I sleep?
Where is the shelter that I need?
I make a wish,
I pray a prayer,
In hope that one day I shall find,
That warmth that once was full,
That life that used to be you.

Strange Poem by Natalie (aged 12)

I love you more than umpler lumpers,
Though I do not like plumpers.
They are yucky,
Though they are lucky,
They are very sour,
But you have to eat them on the hour.
I hope you like my poem,
Though it keeps on going.

A Little Word by Molly Meredith (aged 12)

This nine letter word that means a lot
Was too important to end with a dot.
It may seem like a little word
But has the power to soar like a bird,
A bird flying high,
Up in the sky.
This word is not a lie,
It is a swear
That should never tear,
It should always be there
Friendship

Love Our Way by Emily Schofield

Beating quickly
Matching yours
Our hearts are together

To see your appearance
To touch your hand
The world dissolves around us

I sink deeply
In your eyes
Like an ocean of blue

What we have
Will never change
My heart, your heart
A never ending story

Always my darling
Forever in my heart

The Angry Kid by Amie Carter (aged 11)

Nobody sees my brother any more,
all you see is the damage they caused.
He only tried to help this kid,
when others would have run and hid.
They left his ear beyond repair.
He bravely said, "I've Got A Spare."
Then came fits that stopped him dead,
so anger started to fill Mum's head.
Dad drank more to hide his pain,
he's stopped that now, his back to SaNe!

We moved our home,
new schools for all,
now he battles his own turmoil.

Despite all this he taught me well,
so I never go through hell.
"Stand Your Ground, Don't Ever Back Down.
Your Better Of Dead If You Can't Hold Your Head."
From this came me, for all to see,
he's made me everything he wanted to be!

I wish you could see my brother at home,
he's funny, he's loud, I'm really a clone!

But all you see is this angry kid.
With his head full of fear so no one can hear,
his pride won't let anyone near.

I asked him once, if he'd do the same,
if he had that time again.
"Of Course I Would, Without A Doubt,
I Do What's Right To Sleep At Night,
It's Made Me Strong, So It Wasn't In Vain,
For That Alone I'd Do It Again."

I write this now, to make you see,
he's so much more than he lets himself be.
I hope one day he'll swallow his pride,
and let out the trust he locked inside.
I only want to set him free,
just need some help to find the key.
I want him back where he should be,
my big bro stood proud with me!

He Didn't Show Up by Hannah Kidder

In my room dressed up so nice not a crease in my dress
I thought to myself, I hope I don't look like a mess.
My date was supposed to be coming at the stroke of seven.
I have a sad feeling that he is running late since it's eleven.
I am running around finishing the last details for my hair.
Unaware that my hair was on fire from the straightening iron.
I blow out the flames, tiptoeing to my shoes left on the bathroom floor.
I felt like a waddling penguin, leaping back and forth
I was almost surprised when I looked into the mirror and there I found a pimple right above my eye.

I guess it just means time will tell.
Just then I got a call from Mel.
She was wondering have I heard from Robert any time soon.
I looked outside at the gleaming moon.
I was getting tired feeling so sad that Robert didn't come at all.
I wish I could have gone to the Ball.
I was such a pretty lady waiting for my lad.
I was so mad that my handsome fellow left me to weep to my sadly sorrows.
If only Robert could come any time soon, I would be on my way dancing to the Ball.
I walked to the end of the hall.

I sat there sighing
I was implying that Robert left me on my date night.
I wish he could have been perfectly polite taking me to dance all dressed in white.
I guess I will just have to end the evening.
If only I wasn't so blue, I should hung out with Mel and my crew.

My Best Friend by Ayla (aged 11)

My best friend,
Is random,
Funny,
And
Loyal,
My best Friend,
Has laughing fits,
And days where she is sad
But she moves on,
Though life is hard,
She jumps back up.

My best friend
Is trustworthy,
Awesome and Honest,
But most of all she's my friend,
My Very Best

Fantasy to Reality by Elena del Rodriguez Araujo

Twisted vines upon the moon shines,
towering trees are entwined
guardians of all fortresses
a forest enchanted and cursed
no lust or peace exists there,
pure nothingness and emptiness is pure imagination,
all fears exist in superstition,
all fears exist in thoughts,
when really reality has no fear
only minds too close together
to know the difference between fantasy and reality

Not Any More by Ayla (aged 11)

Sweet Heart I cannot wait any longer,
You take it much to slow,
Darling it's been too long now,
You have just left it alone,
No,
That's not the way to do it, my love,
No, you can't do that,
Why don't you just do it like this?
No,
It's taking forever,
We cannot wait any more,
Sweetie!,
No,
This is just not right

My Street by Raidah Zreika

Highway, highway busy on the road
like a bus that never stops
beep beep beep beep
as fast as sound going fast and loud

In the morning and night
like sounds that never stop
when there are no more cars
it feels so good and peaceful

When the noise returns,
like a washing machine that whirs
the trucks, buses, all of them come,
it's like wishy-washy and noisy all of the time

Words, Speaking No Truth by Ayla (aged 11)

Lies,
All the time in relationships,
It's always happening,
Just not honest,
Lying to each other,
Not being truthful,
Telling wrong things to each other,
Just lies

My Dog by Dilan

My dear pet Blacky
he makes me happy

When his is hungry,
he wags his black and white tail
like a fish out of the water

He can play fetch because
he is fit and strong,

He can play dead like a
fallen log in the park

He makes me laugh when
he tries catching his tail
and always fails

My dear pet Blacky
he makes my happy.

Karma by Ayla (aged 11)

Karma is best described as revenge or repaying,
When you do something sinful,
Karma comes around,
And gets revenge,
When you do something Awesome,
Karma comes around,
And gives you something good!

You and Me by Ayla (aged 11)

People think I can't talk to you,
Just because you can't speak,
People think I can't be your friend,
Just because you can't do the things that average friends do.

But I know I can,
Of course I can.
You are my Friend,
I can talk to you.
You are my horse,
And we communicate,
Through many different ways,
And though different to many friends,
We connect
And become one.

Depression by Ayla (aged 11)

Depression is just unhappiness,
But overly exaggerated.
Depression is just misery,
But viewed in a worse way.
Depression means you're sad,
But I think you can overcome it!

Compatibility by Ayla (aged 11)

I question compatibility,
They think it gives you a relationship,
But I think you need only one connection.

What does it matter...
If you are different?
If you live in a different place?
If you like different things?
My friends and I are different
But we get along just the same

New Beginning by Cassandra (aged 13)

Tonight, I washed my face with tears
Felt the hot prick of water in my eyes
The trickle of the tiny stream
Making its way down my face.

Tonight, I stared at the stars dancing in the sky
Saw the moon shining down on me,
The same moon you could see
Watching over you and me.

Tonight, I cleared my mind of the past
Freed myself from the chains
That I had let hold me down,
Exalting as I tossed them away.

Tonight, I started a new beginning
Held onto you as the old me faded away,
The wind carrying it, taking it to a distant land
Knowing who I am now, knowing who we are.

City Of Dreaming Spires by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

It's called the city of dreaming spires, look up and you'll know why
The harmonious architecture, ogling down from the sky
With arguably the best opportunity available, you can find what your looking for
Making you think of all who walked the university corridors before
So yes, there are swanky restaurants, cafes and huge book shops
But it's the colleges, the museums and the history that comes up tops
It may be the place to come for a Saturday at the cinema, or a shopping spree
But escaping the hustle and bustle, reaching the real Oxford, is free
Strolling round the city centre, it gives you a sense of the new
But that all seems a lie, when you discover what is really true
It's not that I don't enjoy the theatre, there are musicals and shows I love to see
But I look at the further education I could have, where in my future I could be
Living in London would be great, with my red convertible and successful career
That is in years to come though, as for now, I'm happy here.

Friendship by Charlotte Nelson

Friendship is something you cannot buy,
but a friendship cannot fly.
Lovely days out with your best mates
and trying to decide the dates.

Friendship isn't always sweet
but people never always like a treat.
Friends can stab you in the back
but people can always get back on the right track.

Friendship is like love as it cannot grow on trees,
some friendships can be up and down like buzzy bees.
So when you're in a good friendship don't throw it away,
keep it and let it be safe for May.

Lonesome by Zahraa Himdan (aged 12)

No one understands me in this blank and lonely world,
I would say anything to make my voice be heard,
As much as I try, as much knowledge I gain,
Still I feel the same old horrid pain,
A grain of sand in the Sahara Desert is the way I feel,
A knot in a straight line, a mud puddle in a clear fluid,
A scream in silence, pollution in the pure,
I have looked everywhere and yet not found a cure,
I gaze upon those happy successful in their lives,
When my life is lonely and always full of cries,
I feel wrong as if I wasn't meant to be,
Like my life was a mistake, an error in humanity.

What Will I Be When I Grow Up? by Beth Fleming (aged 11)

What will I be
When I grow up?
Nobody knows,
Nobody tells.
And if you don't,
What shall you do?
I'm one of those!
Where should I go?
What should I do?
If you don't know,
Where will you be?
When the time comes
For me to be
At work?

A Land Not So Far Away by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

Egypt, Spain and Bulgaria, all exotic countries far away
That may suit you, but it's not for me, with my precious England I'll stay
A tour of New York or a trip to a Hawaiian waterfall,
But if I want to see something exquisite, I don't have to travel far at all
Some may like a sunny beach, or a day of African touring
But I've got Britain, with its hidden history, which is far from boring
A getaway to Italy, cool ocean skimming your hips
But I'm happy here, eating fish & chips
Home of the roast dinner, scones with clotted cream
All of this, and they want Turkey, Australia; England's my dream
You may stand next to the Arc De Triomphe
But when I see the White Cliffs of Dover
I live my dream again, over and over
We've got beaches, as cold and grey as they may be
However much you snigger, they'll always be beautiful to me.

Watching by Hayley and Georgia (aged 13 and 10)

The wind was sweeping
through my hair
that's when I knew
someone was watching over me
but who could it be?

Dark Shield by Claire Borecki (aged 12)

Five white fingers
So thin, so light
In the darkness that seeps
From the night through
Little cracks in the windows
Caress the keys, cajole them
Till they tame to the wild heart.
Fingers flash faster now, smooth
A boat on calm seas
The song of the doves rowing wings
Of flower fields rolling as
The wind whistles mournfully
Through the grass
Of a waterfall pouring
Crystal cold white spray reaching up
Surrounds your heart with peaceful longing
Forms a shield of passion
Clearing the darkness,
Pushing it back out the windows.

Me by Phoenix Leif Atkins

Phoenix is my name
Humour is what I've got
Obedient I am (sometimes)
Everyday I sing and dance
Nice and beautiful indeed
I absolutely love tigers
X-ray's are really freaky

Levitate I cannot
Electrify either
I absolutely love tigers
Feathers are really pretty

A person is a lie
Together we can make this work!
Kittens are really cute
Inside my head I always picture me
Nice and pretty I am indeed
Saranne is my BFF forever!

Dance by JDW

Come on lets dance....
leap and spin and prance around
until your knees drop to the
ground.

Jingly jingles on your feet
come on and dance to the beat.
The stunning smooth swirling street dancers,
grooving to the beat
Come on and move your feet!

Family by Emma Scanlan (aged 12)

Mum and Dad
Sister and Brother
Grandma and Grandad
Uncle and Aunty
Nieces and Nephews!

Cosy and safe
Lovely and warm
Special and loved
Joyful and happy
Comfortable and calm!

Together forever
and ever and ever
through good times
and bad times.
Family is my life!

Don't Leave Me To Die by Maria Habiague (aged 10)

I loved you
And you turned
your back on me.
I stopped your tears
But you never stopped mine.
The arguments
The hate
The bad times we had
I loved you
And you neglected me.

Then came the day
The cancer kicked in.
My heart stopped beating
and you were nowhere.
Why would you do this?
Why'd you leave me to die?
Where were you
when I needed you
more than I ever had before?
Stop the slaughter and pain.

Violets and Roses by Paige Hardy (aged 13)

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Every minute
I think of you
The roses may die and the violets may too
but until that day I will always love you
One day he will come with violets and roses
And I won't leave until he proposes

This Feeling by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

I keep getting this feeling, and if I describe it to you
Will you tell me what is happening and will you tell me what to do?
I miss you, though you run through my mind
Those moments when we look at each other; they are perfectly timed
I worry what you think of me, whether you feel the same
Because this isn't a joke, a prank, a game
You could be my answer, my prize, my solution
When you're here, there is peace, no war, no pollution
Thinking about my future, I haven't thought it through
But all I want to know is that I want to be with you
People say that this won't last long, it's a draft that won't be saved
They're wrong, I feel so special every time you smile, look, wave
One day we will walk together, into the future, my hand in yours
This feeling I'm getting, it's filling my soul, coming out of my pores
Can you not see, this message in the sky above
I think this feeling could well be love.

Flowers by Courtney Heath (aged 11)

Flowers are roses
Flowers are love.

Flowers are signs
Signs of different things.

Flowers are everywhere
and everywhere they will stay.

Flowers are meanings
Meanings of happiness and sadness.

Flowers are everywhere
Everywhere they will stay.

Out With the New by Sapphire Hughes

Stuffing the radio under my pillow, I remember doing that in my past
But all I hear now is different music, lyrical madness which is much too fast
Radio Caroline's songs slithering through my pillow, how I miss the thrill
Dancing at the party, it didn't matter then whether or not you had skill
In my day, we all liked the same music, we all had good taste
But where has the excellent music of my childhood gone now?
It seems like such a waste

All the lyrics made sense back then, you could relate to the musician
All the girls wanted to meet the male bands, it was their ambition
Whether you were a rocker or a mod, the sound of The Kinks still filled your ears
That kind of music made your worries disappear, and it got rid of your fears
Years passed though, and it all got thrown away
And it was all forgotten, left astray
There was nothing to feel good about anymore
There was nothing to dance to, nothing to go out for
It makes me sad to think that maybe the fans have moved on, too
That maybe they are enjoying this; the new
But while new music is considered winning
I'm still here, with my records, slowly spinning.

Those were the days, Sapphire - RS

Friendship by Madison Coghlan (aged 10)

Friendship is a key
If you lose it, it breaks
You look and look to find it so
You can mend it before
It's too late
But sometimes
It's in that place you can't see
When you're lucky
It's right in front of you
Can't you see?

Apple by Georgia (aged 12)

The apple falls slowly from the tree
While I'm trying to hide my tears
You see them as drops of dew in the morning
But the apple has no fears

The apple has a lonely life
Like some of us I see,
It's red and ripe and juicy,
Saying, "As if you could outsmart me."

But a person comes along,
Waiting for food,
It sees the big apple
And after it eats, says, "I've outsmarted you dude."

But this story has to end,
Or poem I should say,
And by the end of this,
We're together again, Yay!

Let Peace Dwell by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

Once upon a time, Earth was calm and peace ridden
There was no such thing as racism and all violence was hidden
But slowly and without notice, our world began to die
All of God's creation ruined, and he began to cry
Wars between countries began to commence
Enemies were created and there were feuds that made no sense
You woke up everyday, wondering whether there would be another tomorrow
No one cared if you were dead, no such thing as sorrow
Our wildlife disappearing, but no one wrote a letter of concern
Global warming hit us, our environment starting to burn
I think that people should realise is that this is not much fun
So fill the cracks of Earth, and let us come together, as one.

Shadowy Death by Logan Warner (aged 10)

spidery fingers lick graves
twilight bodies awakened lives
shadows steal my living heart
life slowly seeps from my body
dying words leap from me
"I am here," gasps the dying breath

My Dog by Phoebe Piper (aged 10)

my dog lies on the bed
for when the needle goes in
my dog goes into the fire
I will never see her again

Don't Look At Me by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

(This poem is about anorexia and is aimed at people that are self concious about their body.They should realise the consequences.)

I stand in front of the mirror, staring at that thing looking back at me
I'm trapped in this ballooned, fat body, I wish I was free
When I see my reflection, my face wrinkles in disgust
Sort it out, I said to myself, you must
My clothes became big but my body looked no smaller
Becoming pale and interesting, losing my colour
Whatever wacky diet, whatever exercise routine
Nothing worked, life was being mean
My family worried, but I didn't care what they thought
Funny pills and exercise machines, all of them I bought
Running through the town, my body stopped
I only heard life for a few seconds after that and my heart had been chopped.

Tell by Annesti Meets (aged 13)

I get it right to miss somebody unknown really bad.
It is weird of course but it happens regularly, it makes me sad.
I don't know if it is of sad love stories or
of people that didn't have a nice life or anything of that.
I know for sure that this 'miss' is true
It is sad because I only want to woe
It is awkward this longing for somebody it surely is true
but can I tell you something?
The worst is I don't even know this person whom I miss so bad.
Maybe it is a movie I saw
one that wants to make you roar.
For you know what he wanted to say
but he thought to himself 'not today'
then tomorrow when he tries again
she doesn't want to listen to his gen
and then in his heart he seems ripped apart
for she was the one he loved so dearly
the one he held if only she wouldn't be so,
but now he didn't tell her and he is wooing
his tears are enough to fill a Boeing
so now I hope you hear that it is important
to tell somebody how you feel
it will take control of your heart's steering wheel!

Alice's Deep Dark Hole by Jayden Jacobi (aged 10)

I open the gate to anger and depression as I see the
Lost and tormented souls who live there. Thank goodness
I haven't fallen into Alice's deep dark hole that lies in this place.

Empty by Johanna Tuthill (aged 12)

Colors fade as the breath escapes my lips,
My head pounds, my whole world seems to dip.

My lips tremble noticeably when the news hits my ears,
I try to stay strong when I face my biggest fears.

My full voice disappears, as I fall to the ground,
I've never known such grief could ever be found.

I know there's no recovery, there's never been before.
Nothingness inside me - a chill deep in my core.

I want to yell and scream, or even punch and kick,
Breathing deeply, trembling greatly, I say the world that's in my head:

Sick.

You by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

It is where you are in society that makes you who you are
You could be seen as normal and innocent, or unusual and bizarre
Imagine being looked at from other people's eyes, what would they see?
Would they see someone trapped in their own body, or someone worryless and free?
Is it the people you go around with, or the people you don't?
Is it the challenges you are willing to do, or the worrying things you won't?
You could be judged by skin colour, hair, facial features or what's inside your heart
But it isn't about what you look like, it's your personality that is the best part
But who do you live your life for, is it you or the people in your world?
Are all your days the same, or are they put in a blender and twirled?
Do you have ambitions and dreams, do you even care what the future holds?
Do you organise your time carefully, or do you wait for life to unfold?
Is the sky blue for you every day, or does a shadow hang over you?
Do you forget what happened yesterday, or do you remember every wind that ever blew?
Remind yourself everyday, don't change for anyone at all
Because if you do, be prepared for the fall.

The Dream by Lucy Needham (aged 13)

I dreamed a dream so far away,
In this dream there is no day,
The darkness comes but never goes,
I wish that I had never chose,
The dream so far away.

Until Tomorrow by Olivia Rix (aged 11)

Diamonds set stuck in the moonlight's arms
And we get lost in the midnight charms
Small sharp pins lay embedded in the trees
And the chains of my heart are set free by your keys
Flowers and fairy dust sprinkle the ground
And the feel of your embrace is all around
The soft dew of the grass
Hits your face of glass
As the sun sets on our mountain top
The moon flies away and the diamonds pop
I will meet you tomorrow in the same spot
Even though other people can't see you
It's because you're too good to be true
I love you a lot

No Worries by Sapphire Hughes (aged 12)

Just enjoy the moment, don't let anything ruin your day
Just use the time you have, before it goes away
Sit next to the fire, watch the blaze flicker and die
Or shut your eyes and dream, pretend that you can fly
Smile and watch the moon fade into the dark
Go for a walk and forget everything, carve your name in a tree and leave a mark
Sing your heart out and hum the tune
Spoil the moment by screaming in a silent room
Grab someone's hand and skip into the sunset
Run into the rain and get soaking wet
Just do what I tell you, and you'll be fine
Enjoy the wine.

What I Would Do For You by Sapphire Hughes (aged 11)

I would climb over the sun for you, the blazing heat scorching me
I would go a day without my glasses so I couldn't see
I would trudge my way up Mount Everest and sleep my way through the cold
I would travel around the Mediterranean until I got old
I would walk to Africa and back until my feet were sore and bleeding
I would run marathons everyday until I needed false teeth and my hairline was receding
I would jump in the river and swim for miles on end
I would run away from my family and leave my closest friend
I would walk to the nearest crater and collect you a falling star
To find buried treasure, I would ride a camel to lands afar
What you need to realise is that I would do anything for you
And that I will always love you, no matter what you do.

Them Boys by Kayla Sweeney (aged 10)

Hard, rocks, that's what makes them not pop
Not blue mushy creatures,
More like ROCKY blue creatures
But you know us girls, and them boys

I Will Never Leave You by Alisha (aged 11)

I'll never get you out, I simply don't know how
in fact I'm thinking of you right about now
You're everything I need and everything to me
you know exactly who you are and what you want to be
you always make me smile just by being there
I hope you know how much I really do care
Every time I think of you my stomach seems to twist
This is why I love you, I've made a huge list
The list goes on forever and never will it end
neither will our relationship you'll always be my friend

Us Girls by Gianna Farese (aged 10)

Soft, smushy, not hard but mushy are
Us girls.
We have the best hair of them all.
We love to spend time at the mall.
We love to sing, hey we do it all.
When we dance the chorus sings
You even hear the church bells ring.

Us girls, we love softness and cuddle PJs.
We never rock out to DJs.
We simple fold a napkin in our lap,
keep a straight face and try not to laugh.

Yes, it's true we do our nails but, hey you boys do too.
Us girls, we are a piece of work
don't you see we never let another one be?
Even when we're in the bathroom, indisposed or doing hair
Us girls we stick together here and there.
US GIRLS!!

I Will Always Be There by Alisha (aged 11)

I will always be there for you,
I am your little friend…
I will always be in love with you,
all the way till the end…

I will always care for you,
I will never leave...
you are one person,
I can never deceive

I shall go off to sleep
much before you think,
maybe I'm not with you,
the next second you blink

I will love you more & more
with each rising day
I will always be there for you
even if we are far away

He Still Loves Me by Alisha (aged 11)

For though I hope he loves me
For he has kissed my mouth
Thought I am like a stricken bird
who cannot reach the south.

Tonight I know he loves me
And my heart is very glad
for his kiss was just as wonderful
As all the dreams I've had

I Love You by Alisha (aged 11)

You dry the tears that fall from my eyes.
You bring me sunshine to brighten my sky.
You rescue me when I'm scared and alone
And take my hand to lead me home.

No matter the miles that keep us apart
We're always together in each other's hearts
Sometimes we take for granted, I fear,
The ones who are so close and dear.

We get so caught up in life and things we must do
Sometimes we forget to stop and say I love you.
If ever you felt I forgot or didn't care
Let me stop right now, my true feelings I'll share

You're the sun in my sky, the bed where I lie.
You're the home where I'm safe, the field where I play.
You're everything I am, everything I do.
So what I am saying is I LOVE YOU

Relationship by Alisha (aged 11)

I thought of you today but that's nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too
For every day good or bad you'll always be in my head
I hope you've understood every word I've said
This isn't just a joke or a silly lie
I'd never do anything to make you wanna cry
I really do love you and everything you are
I hope this relationship gets really far

No Love Compared by Mikayla (aged 12)

Your love is one to die for
I would cherish it all my life
I don't care what anyone else may say
You're the one for me
You may love me, but it's no love compared to mine
The way you laugh is so comforting to my soul
Your eyes are a story well told
Yes you have your moment, so quirky and strange
But I love you the way you are
If you don't love me what is the point in living
This is my heart, to you I'm giving
You may love me, but it's no love compared to mine

Those People by Sapphire Hughes (aged 11)

They are the ones who scare me, who make me wake up in the night
They are the people who might hurt me, who might make me see the light
They are the ones who are in disguise
Vibrant clothes covering their bodies and contact lenses on their eyes
It can happen to anyone and it can happen anywhere
They might do it alone, or together, that horrid pair.

Movies by Charlotte N

The best movies can be absolutely brilliant or in other words gob smacking!
But sometimes they can be sad or in other words very tearful.
The best movie I have ever seen is probably Bridget Jones Diary
It's so good because of the funniest parts
Like when she leaves Daniel and says I'd rather be 10 miles away for you
plus the film's good because it's got a 4 star rating but I absolutely love the film I am the most biggest fan ever!
Some films were scary or in other words nail biting
And some movies aren't scary at all
But you very rarely come across one of them.
I personal prefer the ones which aren't scary
and the soppy ones but I like to keep with these

My Pets by Charlotte N

My pets were very special, they were labs, I used to walk to school with them,
when i got to school everybody used to say that my were dogs were really
CUTE.

I can remember the time
when Bentle got dressed with tubeygrip
because he had a sore ear and he couldn't stop itching it..

Then there was the time Breacon, me and dad
went down to herring fleet and he couldn't stop bouncing
up and down.
SO FUNNY!

But nobody realised how special they were to me
and we had to give them away!
I was in tears.
I miss them terribly!

My Perfect Family by Charlotte N

My family is the best I say, right let's start with dad,
the best dad ever, the best dad a girl could ever wish for
but he's not just a dad, he's like my big brother the way he loves me.

Then my mum, a very good mum I say,
Sometimes she can get angry but she soon comes around,
she always treats me to stuff that I really, really like.
She gives me kisses and she leaves lip marks on
my cheeks!

Then my sister, well my best friend but she feels like my sister,
we always play together and she always comes to me when
she is upset
and I do the same, when I am upset

My Best Friend by Katie Harding (aged 12)

My Best Friend doesn't say much
My Best Friend is quite shy
My Best friend is the very best
'Cause she makes my spirits fly

My Best Friend's always there for me
My Best Friend's always there
So I wrote this poem
To show her that I care

My Best Friend by Jade Pateman (aged 10)

I've been friends with her for eight years,
We've never had an argument
She has light brown curly hair
And likes florescent colours

She's sweet and kind
She's caring and loving
We'll always be friends
But most of all...
She'll never let me down

Be Mine by Buki Jones (aged 10)

Be mine for good,
Be mine forever,
I will always be yours,
So you should always be mine.

You take my breath away,
With your shimmering eyes,
Your lips so soft,
In the sparkling light.

Be mine for good
Be mine forever,
Our love is true,
So please be mine!
