In the morning

In the morning

I woke up,

I got out of bed,

I slid my feet into my navy blue slippers,

I grabbed my dressing gown,

I went downstairs,

I reached up to the cupboard and took out a glass mug,

I switched on the kettle,

I pulled out the sugar,

Took off the lid,

I put two teaspoons of sugar in the mug,

I poured in the boiling water,

I dropped the teabag,

I fell,

I lay there until my son walked through the door,

Got down on his knees,

And cried.

Warning

Warning - don't put an ice pole in the toaster.

Warning - don't drink shampoo.

Warning - don't put a Barbie in the oven.

Warning - don't eat raw meat.

Warning - never get in a fight with a lion trust me.

Warning - don't eat chocolate and crisps together it doesn't go well.

Warning - don't put mustard in custard.

Iona's poem

Iona is a monster.
My sister but a monster
Throwing toys - that's Iona
Kissing dolls - that's Iona
Waking up at four -that's Iona
Dancing like mad - that's Iona
Bath lover - that's Iona

I bet you're jealous because you don't have an Iona
I love you Iona
You're one in a million

Jaimy's Poem

Jaimy's Poem

My sister loves her phone,

she's on it 24/7.

she loves doing makeup,

she's really good at it,

but she's not allowed to wear it out of the house,

but she doesn't need makeup,

she is beautiful,

I love you Jaimy

Winter in Candy Land

Winter in Candy Land

A thick blanket of white sugar fell from the candy floss clouds
Weeping willow candy strips were coated in rainbow drop lights
Gingerbread children were covered in icing to keep warm
The lime lace grass was covered in the sugar snow

Winter was in Candy Land

by Niamh Midgley  6NB


My inspiration was Harriet Whitaker's poem Mother of Winter

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is found in the relief of Noah's face as he gazes upon God's gift of a rainbow.

Forgiveness is found deep within God's wise words.

Forgiveness is found in the reprieve of a condemned prisoner as the judge grants him a pardon,

Forgiveness is found in the truth of a young child telling their mums their mistakes.

Forgiveness is found in the burying of the hatchet before the passing of the peace pipe.

Forgiveness is found in the human brain and the realisation of his or her mistakes.

Forgiveness is when anger leaves the heart to make room for love.

Forgiveness is found in five letters
