  1. Mountains high and wide,
    Skies pale blue,
    Sand creamy and soft,
    Just like it’s brand new.

    Looking out the airplane window,
    Sadly going home.
    No more beautiful landscapes,
    With nowhere to roam.

    My eyes grow weak,
    As my muscles dim.
    I want it back,
    Anything for him.

  2. Deep in the dark ground
    the tree like a jiraffe
    greener than a lake

    land made up by green
    rising from earth’s open palm
    producing us air

    the sea salty
    oceans as blue as a berry
    the water clapping

    the trees have big stalks
    the animals are playing
    creatures

  3. Thunder strikes again
    Water racing to the ground
    Houses torn apart

    Striking all around
    Waiting to be released
    Trees are left in fear

    When it strikes the ground
    Clouds huddling together
    Shooting out terror

  4. I may fall but i rise like never before i might miss, so determination will make me rise but remember i’m the guy like drowning we all rise does my football skills upset you but remember everybody rises on the pitch i don’t cry injure me and i still rise you may laugh but i rise i grow like flowers blooming if i squandered a opportunity i work harder because i rise

  5. Still I rise:

    Still we rise
    Sometimes it may be hard,
    Sometimes we may fall like leaves,
    But we will blossom again like trees!

    Why fight?
    Don’t fight, we are all bright!
    Why cry?
    Don’t say goodbye!
    Still we rise

    Full of books,
    Full of pens,
    With all the looks
    And building dens!

    We may feel up and down,
    Don’t frown!
    We may feel all over the place,
    Just tie your lace!

    Our school is full of positivity,
    We have loads of creativity!
    We have a whole world of diversity
    Let’s just go to a library!

    This poem is done,
    After this I’ll tie my hair in a bun!
    Goodbye and don’t forget,
    Still we rise yet again! 🙂

  6. I, too play football
    I’m a useful player in the team,
    I like shooting even if I don’t score
    I can tackle and dribble,
    They tell me
    I’m bad at football.

    Tomorrow,
    They’ll see
    I won’t give up,
    They won’t tell me
    I’m bad at football.

    They’ll see how strong I am,
    And won’t doubt me anymore
    I, too love football.

  7. I Too, fear every scary challenge
    From heights to darkness
    They send me to tremble in the worst heights
    But I always persevere

    I have many weaknesses
    But I laugh and push through
    Then I realize I know
    Everything I can possibly do

    Tomorrow
    They will tremble
    Seeing that I have no weakness
    When I persevere
    Nobody will ever say to me
    Never ever say to me
    You are a scared man
    They will fear me
    See me in their darkest nightmares

    I too, am Harry and I am still fearless

    Note: If you have a fear please try to face it

    Warning: Don’t bully anyone for them having a fear

  8. I too love wonderful presents and gifts especially quality time with family and friends. A card and a cake is all the best.

    they sing and dance and Be the Best until they need a rest they’ll see how bad of a dancer i can get, nobody can say to me practice because I’ll be to ashamed.

    I sat in my bedroom when company comes
    but have a blast and it still makes me laugh

  9. Planet Earth

    Take some lovely trees
    and let them settle,
    and overrun them with life.

    Add an equal amount of greenery and buildings
    then dash a bit of sandy beaches,
    and stir it in an evenly pace.

    Drop in some cows,chickens,sheep and pigs
    balancing it with some tigers, lions and leopards.

    Take a blend of wolves, kangaroos, insect and a few monkeys
    and cool it off with some polar bears.

    Remove pollution and plastic in the ocean after a few seconds
    and pour in some trees for a wonderful fragrance.

    Fold in some homes into the land and let that simmer but don’t let that spread everywhere.

    Whisk in the litter in to the recycling and repeat until u can’t see it anymore.

    Fill it all with love and kindness and serve with happiness.

    Enjoy!

    Note: If u see any wars and fights they should be taken out immediately with caution.

    Warning: Missing out any step will turn it into utter chaos.

  10. mix some continents with colors
    add some day and let it turn into night.
    then let it boil until the debate ends.
    allow time to settle.

    sprinkle in some Haitians,
    Bolivians, Canadians and Norwegians.
    Then add a blend of,
    tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

    great on some icebergs
    and crumble on some of the crust.
    add some diversity
    along with lots of different languages

    go north and add a bit of Greenland ,
    then go east and add a slither of Singapore
    after that go down under and add a bit of New Zealand
    and finally go west of El Salvador

    Note: All ingredients are diverse

    Warning: If all of the ingredients are not treated with equality it will not work

  11. I, too, sing America:

    I, too, sing normality,
    Bit by bit you’ll see!
    They laugh at me,
    But I ignore,
    And set ashore

    Tomorrow,
    I’ll be at the top, you see!
    When company comes,
    Nobody’ll dare say to me,
    “You can’t do it just leave, gee!”
    Then.

    Besides,
    They’ll soon realise,
    And they’ll walk away.
    And I’ll stay with a massive trophy to size!
    I, too, sing normality
    Just use your eyes! 🙂

  12. You stare me down
    But I stand my ground
    They say their alpha and i’m the prey
    They say are you crying I say ‘m OK

    You say a word my back goes stiff
    Like a soldier greeting their leader
    Don’t be surprised you said such thing.
    It’s Darkness I’m not surprised

    You may cut me down
    You may talk behind my back
    But let me just warn you
    That’s like eating your brothers flesh

    Don’t be blinded with color
    You’re not the only one with such cruel
    We can all have some darkness
    But don’t let it take over you

    All my tears that have dropped
    All the shedded tears I had
    Hopefully it stops right here
    Hopefully it stops right now

    Be the person who makes it stop
    or try to be that person
    you will be remembered for what you did
    not who you are.

  13. Wildlife

    Take some Horses
    And let them settle,
    Then overrun them with hay

    Remove the diseases after a few weeks
    And add lots of nutrients
    Then stir vigorously

    Mix them with some Pigs

    Then take a blend of mud
    Combine it with some rain
    And turn up the heat

    Sprinkle some fresh bananas together with some
    Monkeys
    Then add to the meting pot
    Leave the ingredients to simmer.

    As they mix and blend, allow them to nurture
    Binding them together with nature

    Allow time to be chill

    Add some Birds
    Serve them with Worms
    And enjoy

    Note: All the ingredients are wild.

    Warning: An unequal spread of hostility leads to chaos.

  14. Recipes of your talent.
    Bring those skills to life.
    Put that 100/.
    And be determine to win.

    Believe In the power and strength you have.
    Show them who you really are.
    put those skills In.
    And make your dreams come alive

    Bring It alive like you’ve never done.
    put that spirit In.
    And be determine to win.
    All or nothing.

    You may read me down In your dreams.
    That shiny texture of mine .
    All or nothing.

  15. stay close to the sun
    hopefully you’ll have some fun
    you may put me down

    but all i do is
    look at the droplets under
    i too am human

    i may shed some tears
    but id rather look at the
    big bright blue skys

    be yourself and shine
    you are beautiful
    and be proud, we love you

  16. You may say I’m appalling,
    You may say I cry,
    You may shout at me,
    But still I try.

    Although I have it all,
    Vision and footwork.
    You’ll never let me show it,
    Just like a jerk.

    I’m hungry for that ball,
    I’ve got a desire to succeed,
    I’m determined to make it all the way.
    It’s my one and only need.

    I’m undeniably unbelievable.
    Shots slicing through the air.
    I always try my best,
    You never seem to care.

    You whisper on about me,
    It haunts me to my core.
    Do you hate me?
    HOW MUCH MORE!

    It’s like your sitting on me,
    Nowhere to run.
    Your cruel and spiteful,
    You don’t let me have fun.

    Leave me alone,
    I’ll improve on my own.
    Stop harassing me,
    I used to smile, not anymore.

  17. Fishes exploring
    sharks finding something to eat
    Corals are growing

    Clown fish are laughing loud
    While Eel’s are in the deep sea
    The seals are playing

    Seas being salty
    Bubbles are popping crazy
    Stingrays being fun

  18. Take some fries,burgers and hotdogs
    And let them settle
    Then overrun them with exquisite tastebuds.

    Remove the exquisite tastebuds after the food
    has been made
    Add lots of turnips,potatoes to some asparagus,cool pasta salad with some beans, peas
    and cheese.

    Mix some hot chilipeppers and combine them with some broccoli and rhubarb

    Then take a blend of jam,toast and butter
    Combine with some pieces of chicken
    And turn up the heat

    Sprinkle some fresh samosas, spices and katsu chicken with some peanut butter sauce

    Add some ramen, noodles, spring rolls and egg fried rice
    Then add to the melting pot

    Leave the ingredients to simmer

    As the mix and blend allow
    their true tastes to flourish

    Allow tome to be cool

    Note: A not nice spread of love will leave a bad taste

    Warning: you must treat all ingredients with justice and if you don’t it will cause harm.

  19. Leafs dancing in wind
    waving trees, bushes and clouds
    water shining bright

    bees are around now
    flowers getting empty
    people having fun

    leafs getting destroyed
    brown, yellow, orange and red now here
    people now going

    Nice trees disappear
    Dead here coldness coming now
    while people freezing

  20. Christmas

    Christmas tree’s and stocking’s,
    hot chocolate with sweet sticky marshmallows and cookies,
    Christmas movies and Santa with family
    with presents of plenty under the sparkling evergreen trees and Christmas dinners,
    Christmas is fit for everyone,

    Sat on my bed bringing memories
    of snow covered fields with family’s making jolly snowmen
    and misty skies with snowflakes
    falling onto cities that are hundreds of years old.

    Then my head starts to hurt and my memories start to blur
    A wave of longing through my body swept
    so I turned away from my bed
    so nobody could see my sorrow cries.

  21. Take some Maths and English
    and bring them to life
    then add in some reading to turn your imagination to life.

    Add some tests and treats
    mix them together and make success
    students and teachers work hard together

    Magical words flying around
    making shiny sentences
    Roman numerals mixed with some grammar

    Dictionary and Thesaurus’s
    full of words you don’t know
    use full for spelling and creating
    words and bringing our creativity

    Break times and lunch times
    kids screaming and shouting
    playing and losing winning it doesn’t end.

  22. Joy and memories
    on Christmas day
    love with family and friends,
    presents and stockings,and talking
    with your friends having
    fun outside in the snow
    singing the song ho!ho!ho!
    hot chocolate and movies with
    loads of cookies and the Christmas
    tree standing and handing you presents
    and hanging Christmas decorations
    giving you some inspirations and let
    your body flow.Are you going to join
    the inspiration and this sensation?

    freezing cold nights and lightning
    frights and enjoying yourself on
    Christmas day.Putting on your
    Christmas pj’s and let the festival
    begin the stress and the test of wrapping begins

    making Snowmen and going to winter wonderlands
    and feeling the joy come to you.Santa coming on
    his slay and santa trying to run away
    by Christmas day.

    inspiration by:Claude Mc kay

  23. Ronaldo skills some people laugh at me and say i don’t know
    what i am doing but i am unstoppable
    I too have good footwork like skill’s and
    when i get home i fill sad but my mum tells me
    i will be better than them if i practice.

  24. title:thunder shoots
    thunder stomped on the ground,
    the clouds hugged tightly,
    frightend the clouds tiptoed across the sky,
    thunder bursts at the cracked earth,
    the rain cried in the trees arms,
    tears sinking through the branches

  25. Nature
    Fiery, sizzling the earth
    Wildfires caused by the sun
    It rises degrees

    Damp but beautiful
    Some rain drizzles onto land
    Murky with rainbows

    Blustery weather
    Lightning strikes light up the land
    Ground soaked to the core

    Savagely windy
    Ripping people’s homes apart
    Whirlwinds happening

  26. I too:School
    I,too,need chances
    because in a year,expectations never change,

    I,too,sometimes need help,
    because I am human,

    I,too,need choices,
    because not all can always take challenge,

    I,too need break,
    because I work hard,

    So when I need anything,
    be here for me.
    I am Leon.

  27. The recycle poem
    Outstanding Outbacks
    Sun trying to kiss the rocks
    But are endangered

    Blossoming flowers
    Sprouting in wonderful woods
    But are losing life

    Gigantic oceans
    With fantastic scenery
    But litter killing

    Save the buzzing bees
    We need to stand for nature
    And let the world thrive

  28. Title: See whats inside of me

    My smile is fading everyday,
    Im getting insecure,
    Some people dont care about others.

    See whats inside of me,
    Look in my eyes cant you see,
    Im hurt in the inside.

    My fake friends acting like I dont exist,
    But time passes faster than a clock,
    See whats inside of me.

    Whats wrong?
    What did i do?
    Salty water streaming down my face,
    They laugh,
    But I dont care beacause I fight for myself.

    SEE WHATS INSIDE OF ME!

  29. Multipurpose items

    A roll of cloud carpet
    Wrapped around itself
    More important than hand sanitizer
    Don’t forget to build a majestic fort
    But the wet, gloopy grey,mush; the perfect ammunition
    I am toilet paper

    A thin white sheet
    Can come in a range of colours
    With glue, pens and imagination you can make nano- furniture
    Its an extreme weapon, paper cuts sting like poison
    I am paper

    Gourmet food that cries out EAT ME!
    A pale gold guardian
    …Or bits of cheese squashed together
    Specks of turquoise in a yellow cake slice
    Looking like mould but good enough to eat
    I am cheese

    its the humongous emerald forest
    It yells; similar to deforestation
    A home for all animals that soar above or tread bellow
    Stocked with the most perfect ingredients
    Just for my ‘Luxury Nature’ menu

    You might be wandering: ‘What is this?’
    Its a poem.

  30. I too sing Joyfully
    I am a funny sister
    They send me drama in the evening
    When company comes,
    But I laugh,
    And eat well,
    And grow strong.
    Tomorrow
    I will be at the house
    When company comes,
    Nobody will dare,
    Say to me ,
    Go drama class in the evening,
    Then,
    Besides,
    They will see how great I am,
    And be happy
    I too am a actress

  31. Halloween!

    Dress up as spooky people
    Knock on doors screaming trick or treat
    earning about 92 sweats
    talking with your skeleton friends

    When your done
    go home and flex on your sibilings
    make sure to hide them well
    eat them fast so the skeletons dont return

    relaxing on your sofa almost falling asleep

  37. still i fight
    Based off ww1 (1914 – 1918)

    you may throw me onto your beach
    to defend us from other soldiers
    you may throw me into your trenches
    but still,i fight

    do my fighting skills upset you
    why are you running away like sheep ?
    when you are the wolf?

    just like the mountains of america
    with the looks of waves or tides
    dunes of the beach
    the closer i get ,
    the taller they get,

    Do you want to see soldiers crying ?
    tucked up into a ball and sobbing
    well guess what
    Im not hurt by your wicked lies!

    does my resilience hurt you?
    because you act like it
    I laugh,you dont know the pain
    of all us soldiers

    you may shoot me with your guns
    you may cut me with your knives
    you may burn me with your fire
    but still , i fight

    does my work in battle upset you ?
    Its not a suprise !
    that i fight lik a lion
    with brushes with peace

    I’ll be in history
    and you’ll be to shame
    I will rise
    And i will fight
    I am a ocean of peace
    with no hate

    I am nor consumed with fear
    or terror
    or sadness
    I am a sunshine ray
    I am the past
    the protector

    after war,
    i come back from war
    im in a country full of peacefulness with no more nazi’s
    no more WW1
    still i stand
    with peace
    and love
    wounds will heal
    but bad memories wont.

  38. Allosaurus

    Allosaurus was a beast
    It guzzled flesh and bone
    It ate what it caught and caught what it ate in the days of the early cretaceous

    When chasing its prey it chased it
    And guzzled it up before it had even stopped running!

    Allosaurus was a beast and
    It frequently made mince meat of its neighbours it grabbed them
    And tore them open and never said I’m sorry

    Anything that got chased by allosaurus didn’t last very long so its a good thing its not Around to eat us like whipped cream and jelly

  39. Halloween

    make sure to hide them well
    so the skeletons dont return

    and a ton of dentist problems

  40. I TOO

    be peaceful,
    while the leafs fall

    I am the darkest footballer,
    They send me right out of the room,
    When scouts come, but I laughed and trained,
    and grew strong
    Tomorrow I’ll be playing with older kids
    Nobody l’l dare say to me
    play with the younger kids,”
    Beside They’ll see how good i am
    and they will be jealous
    I am a footballer

  45. witches on broom’s,
    ghosts floating around us,

    putting makeup and face paint on,
    but millions of pepole at the door,
