This poem is a inspirational poem for people with a Caribbean heritage. I think that this poem was created by a Jamaican woman who was treated badly and was telling her son what he might face in the future . This poem is like Flanders fields ,the author takes what was a big problem and creates a poem for futer people to read

I cannot believe its nearly black history month and the poem was so sad when it says about the crystal stair being torn up
This is exciting!!!
I believe that this poem is about persevering because he is telling his son
This poem makes me feel depressed that the people had to tragically suffer but they carry on going no matter what comes there way. How would you feel if you had to suffer this hardship?

I like this poem because its about black history wich is very cool.
This poem make me feel so upset because I understand how life was like for black people long time ago. The poem shows how uneasy life was like and they said in the poem ‘ I am still climbing’ that fraze shows that she is still going through the problem for ever and it’s like it is never ever going to end, but I still like it because it explains to us every fraze how it is linked to Black History Month.
life is like a shoe you can go anywhere anyplace you like (its not like you life is actully a shoe)
This poem is a strong poem that leads to black history month, I am so glad I read it!
I like the bit about black history month because of the language
I love this poem because it link to black history. It is about people suffering but they keep on going
I think this is a great poem for Year 6. It offers an accessible way of understanding metaphor. I can’t wait to see the children’s work….
life is like a piece of string you never know when it will end.
really like your poem
life is not like heaven so you better be patient for anything you want
life is like a phone use it wisely before the battery runs out.
I started to write the begging of my poem
Life is like a battle field treasure your life be for it ends.
Can’t wait to write my poems
Life is like chess there is always dilemma.
life is like a rain drop hitting the ground and never coming up again.
mine, is life ain’t a joke take it seriously before it is over
life ain’t no game live your life before it is over
This is the fist part of my poem
Life ain’t a fairy tail with a golden tv and a silver carpet ,so be grateful and have a normal life or have a living with a tiny old tv and a tored dirty carpet
Life aint like a door to heaven so work up there.Life aint like a dream you will wake up in a flash.
I started my poem here it is life is like a pot of gold so treasure life is like latest the latest fashion trend so dont wear it out life is a rainbow you never know when it will disaper
Life is like ice cream make the most of it before it melts away.
Life ain’t no luxury vacation you have to work for it.
Life is like melted cheese
leave it to long and it may freeze.
Hurry up there is not much time
enjoy your self while it lasts
because it will turn stale
thats a really good poem better than mine welldone
life is like a popped ball which c
not be fixed
I absolutely loved the new poem so I made some of my own little phrases based on poem.
life is like a maze that always has a way out so never be afraid of what lies ahead
Life is like a puzzle there is always a missing pice
This is my part of the poem:
Life aint golden remotes, you have to earn it.
Life is like an ice cube melting, so use it wisely.
Life is like slicing your fingers and also winning.
It is like a roller coaster there are ups and downs.
life giving trust like it will be regretfull at times but never let t overtake you
i have started to write the begining of my poem
Life is like climbing a steep mountains so never give up just carry on because in the end you will make it.
Life ain’t like running on a flat surface it always has ups and downs.
Life is like a butterfly you only live once.
Life is like a candy bar, it could be sweet but it can be bitter,life is like a pot of paint so grab the paint brush before it’s dries away,life ain’t no fairytale so don’t imagine a glass slipper and prince charming,life ain’t no time machine what ever you done you done.
the new poem is so cool so made some of my own.
Life is like a flower its very delicate but never lats forever.
life is like a puzzle once the timer is up you can’t continue so make the most of it.
life is like a ride at a funfair there’s the ups and downs so have as much fun as you can before its over
Life ain’t like fun and friends so make the most of it before you fall apart.
Life is like earning money so spend it well.
Life is as precious a a newborn baby.
Here is my poem,
Life is like a five minute walk,So make the most of it,
Go on a fast car journey the end of you,
If you waste your time,
Also don’t make the most of your life,
You will not have happy times when your dying,
And suffer more than if you did not waste your time.
This is my poem hope you like it, I worked very hard on it.
life isn’t a fairy tale its reality.
life is like a sand timer so don’t waste it.
life is like candy it does not stay forever.
life isn’t perfect you all ways have ups and downs so when you fall don’t give up stand up tall again.
Life is like a London Eye
Keep on waiting for the time .
My goal is now on my pathway
I shouldn’t be giving up now
I get on now and see the the future
From bad to good seeing my life
My journey is now halfway past
As we go round
Seeing my past is not that bad
Although i know i didn’t give up
The London Eye
Life is like a London Eye
Keep on waiting for the time .
My wish is now on my pathway
I shouldn’t be giving up now
I get on now and see the future
From bad to good seeing my life
My journey is now half way past
As we go round
Seeing my life is not that bad
Although i know i didn’t give up,
Now i know life is not easy
But if you try you will succeed
In your one and only life

Life is Hard
Life is like the sky
Blueberry rain,
Cyan colour,
Marshmallow clouds,
Bees flying,
Scrumptious picnics,
Sparkly snow,
Fire in the house,
Smoke coming from chimneys,
That’s bad for our world,
The world cries,
That’s why the rain comes,
Right now someone dies,
Right now someone is born,
My life is easy,
My life is hard,
Its in the middle,
I’m sorry for my friend,
I wonder when he comes back,
He’s the best,
Come back,
Make my life shine
By Clay
Well done clay on ur good work I really enjoy it
Train tracks
Life is like a train track,
Exploring new things,
Being resiliant.
Traviling threw dark tunnles not knowing what awaits me,
Reaching destinations.
Just wanna die
and let life go by
Good poem well done you deserve to be a poet writer
Kk
Life is like…..
Life is like heading out to sea
I’ve seen beautiful sweet dolphins
Rough angry sharks
Life for me ain’t no peaceful ride
Ferocious raging storms
Mean ghostly whispers that say
“Give up”
Sometimes my life just,just……
Goes
So don’t you turn back
Young people.
You know life can be as hard as finding a needle
In a haystack.
Life can be easy if you try your
Very best
Well done on ur work Shayma
The Book Of Life
Life is like a book
The beginning of your story
Where all your dreams come true
Each page is a new light
Imagination heaven
New myths created
Page by page
Emotion and adventures
New characters enter your life
Relationships being built
Additions being added
Fairy tale worlds being seen
Long journeys across seas
Seeing goblins and witches
Running along
Singing a curseful song
Thinking what could go wrong
Coming to the end
Say goodbye to my friends
What happens next?
Happily ever after?
Or death?
Nice poem charmaine
That is good charmine nice question it would be life and ever after in paradise
Life is like a Train Journey
Life is like a Train Journey
Sweeping along the tracks
Serenely crossing delightful meadows
Driving turbulently along hills and valleys
I’ve been driving fast
And cutting corners
And sometimes I go the wrong way
Where there ain’t been good times
I want to stop and rest
But I’se still goin
I’ve not broke down
I’se still goin
Because life is like a Train Journey

Well done Luke on ur good work
Your poem should be to the queen she will literally kiss your feet
like you promy cly it vey nics and i vey good i like it
Life is’it like a dimond
It dose’nt shine
It doese’nt glow
There’s always ups and downs
It’s not shiney
It’s not perferct
But you have deal with it
You never know
If its going to be happy or sad
But just belive
In happy days
But don’t doubt sad
The rain comes
Its dark
But when the sun comes it glows
Keep your head up
And keep a smile
Always be bright allways be happy
But lifes no dimond
By Absar gillespie
please like my poem
Life ain’t no fairytale
There ain’t always a happy ending
The bad guys aren’t always punished
They sometimes come out on top
Wishes aren’t always granted and…
Dreams don’t always come true.
But I’m still here, reading
Hanging on to every chapter
Even though life for me ain’t been no fairytale
life ain’t been no sky full of stars
ones on its own
shining so dim
so unbright
its skinny and thin
and when the star
shines bright again
i will say life ain’t
been no sky full
of stars:)
Life isn’t like no iron sword
It will give you splinters
And will break easy
But if you hold it tight your dreams will come true
I ain’t no liar
Life has been tough
Just try to pull through
Though people are rough
I will tell you once more
to listen to me
so please keep on trying
be the best you can be
by William and Jack
Life ain’t been no dream
It is hard to grab on
Without help
Life is hard
you don’t always get what you want
life ain’t no dream
No one is perfect
Some days are good
Some days are bad
Life ain’t no dream
Life is not easy
Don’t ever think it is
Luck is never on my side
Life ain’t no dream
Life ain’t no crystal star
Climbing up stairs to stairs
Life is a hard job
Life has never been perfect for everyone
No one is perfect
Life is like a rollercoaster
Life ain’t no dream
Life is never fair
Life ain’t like a mirror
You can’t look in it
and expect everything
to be the same as it is in the real world
Here is my poem:
Well let me tell you,
Life for me ain’t no country at war,
It has blood arond the flors
And bodys that lie onto the sand
And no rifels at any anymys han
And hoses with no frame,
But at evry step
I have seen people slaghtert
And reaching for heaven
And looking at hell
And sometimes gets punished in hell
Where there is no hope
So let me tell you don’t you get punished
Don’t you get into a contry that is hell
Cause it nis very easy to be in hell
Don’t you start now
For i still see hope in you
I still see people in hell
And life for me is no country at war.
Do not fret
Do not cry
For with your death
Faith won’t die
In Flanders Fields
Birds shall tweet
Their song each day
And peace shall thrive
Where poppies lay
In Flanders Field
Guns may never
Fire their horns
You’ll rest in peace
For many dawns
In Flanders Field
We’ll hold the torch
So very high
And make an oath
That trust won’t die
In Flanders Field
Life ain’t no peace of bubble gum,
You don’t chose what you want and get what you want,
You don’t throw away the bad stuff like you throw away the wrapper,
Life ain’t no peace of bubblegum,
You don’t choose the size of your bubble like you can choose the way of life
Life is like winter its cold and harsh
Life is like a game of chess you must figure out a stragety
Life ain’t no christmas story so you should try your best and you’ll succeed.
life aint no destine
it has turns and twist to it
it s not a dream
theres bad and good to it
but all the time
don t give up
most of your life is dark
and some light
dont worry some day
your destine will come true
life for me aint no destine
i think this poem is a great poem , it reminds us of black history , on the other hand i also think it is a very sad and devastating poem ,because i fell sorry for the black people in the old days because they were treated bad.my favorite part of the poem was when the author quoted life aint no crystal stair this is my favorite part because i think it means it used to be hard in her day so now dont give up.
i like this weeks poem it is really getting my brain working alot and i am sure other people like me like it too
here is the first part of my poem
life is like baking a cake
from known recipe
try to create your own
life is like being a butterfly
you only live once
life is like a roller coaster
theres ups and down
anything can happen
you just have to believe in you self
life is like a roller coaster
life is like a book
it is not a fairytale
you dont now what is going to happen
or how
it can change anything
it has twist and turn to it
life is like a book
great poem mily you put lots of effort into it, also you put lots of thought to it i loved it my favorite part was when you wrote
life is like a flower its very delicate but never lats forever.keep up the hard work mily i think this poem was fantastic.
GOOD OR BAD
Life is like a Ferris wheel
Up high in the sky with singing birds
And fluffy clouds,
Rushing by the crystal windows
Shining like the sun
People sitting on their comfy seats
Living life as normal,
While the wheel spins round.
Life is like a Ferris wheel
Turning and spinning,
Making you dizzy
Just thinking about the big metal poles.
Breaking.
Falling.
Life is like a Ferris Wheel
Time to get of
Time to go home
Tired and fed-up
Life is like a Ferris Wheel
Well done Ems good work 🙂 from Charmaine
I love your poem Emma
when is their going to new poem I can’t wait
Life aint no daydream live it there wont be a rewind
life is like an exam go for it and live it with pride life is special there is no second chance!!
Life is like art
Splatting away
You could do special pictures
Melancholic or cheerful
It gives you pressure
It gives you time
But it will never be wrong
You could use paint, or
pencil or crayon, you could use
pastels and pens.
Dreams, art gives you experiences and
Art helps you to understand.
Life is Art
Life is a circus
Trapeze; reminds you of how
Much skill you have
You fly in the air
the experience of birds
and the spotlight shines
and you fill with famous emotions
and feelings and
fly.
I really like your poem Marcus
Life is like a rollercoaster
It’s like you’re sad, happy and
Scared, hearing, shouting
and screaming, twist and turns, never give
up because I know you can go on to
the extreme, nerve-racking rollercoaster
Epic poem Tahmid you got really creative
Life is like a flower!
Life is like a flower,
It’s had sensuous petals,
And radiant stems,
And emerald foliage,
And captivating smells like perfume,
But all the time,
As I put water in it,
It just keeps growing and growing,
And reaching and reaching to the,
Voluminous, scintillating sky.
But girls and boys,
I’ve watered it too much,
And as I woke up,
1 petal drops,
Another,
Another,
Another,
Until all the shimmering petals,
The beautiful stems, and the emerald greenery,
Has come to the end,
Life is like a flower.
🙂 😀 love it Hay !!!! Love it so much
LIFE IS LIKE A FLOWER,
They are born,
You are born,
You once see the rain,
The next day it is gone,
But for flowers rain is everything,
And everywhere,
Life is like a flower.
Bees buzzing around the flower,
People hissing like the bees.
The roots making you stronger
The petals growing, reaching towards
Your stem as strong as a bull.
People wouldn’t dare stamp on the flower,
As you are radiant,
You are beauty,
LIFE IS LIKE A FLOWER.
like your poemy it nics
Life on a Railway
Life is like a railway road
bumping and turning side to side ,
tracks meeting, wheels turning t
rains siding humans sleeping
trains beeping trains puffing
Whistle
Screams people playing on board ,
humans staring through the wonderful view
and people dreaming
drivers steering
you see son life will not be easy son
so always try son
life is like a railway road
My life is like imagination and an achievement board
From easy to medium then hard
I could even win a bafta like now
Or I could go to the farm and win a cow.
Achieving everything ain‘t that easy
I gotta be resilient for example
Riding and knowing everything
About a train.
That is a real pain,
I try to get a high score on a game
And have some fame,
Imagine going to the age of the dinosaurs.
And see loads of monosasaurs under water
What could get any better
Use your imagination,
Life could be a real achievement
Never ending book
Life is like an never ending book
Pages just passing by
Chapter to chapter
Lots to tell
Your journey will never end
If you keep on going
You don’t know whats
Ahead of you
A book that will keep on going
A journey of life
A place you will always be
Pictures of rivers
Pictures of life
Life is a journey that will take you anywhere
Like rivers, islands and to where you wish
Year 6 is my new start
Life is like an never ending book
You have a lovely poem. It reminds me of a lot of books.
Your poem is great Niveen it reminds me of books.
What a good poem
Road to Death
Life is like a racing car,
Roaring and racing in my ear,
But I’m driving fast,
Nothing going to stop me achieving my goal,
Concrete is spitting in my ear,
Perspiration streaming down my cheeks,
The world is tumbling around my cries,
But I’m only thinking about going to the peak,
Twisting and weaving in and out of the cones,
One move wrong and I am thrown,
I’ve been lucky and I’ve been worse,
I’m dead than alive,
But I’m going on till I burn,
In the Fire,
The last screech and the last roar,
Is just round the corner,
And the last accident is just lurking somewhere,
Here,
Now,
Bye,
Mohamed nice poem I really enjoyed it
THE APPLE TREE
I always thought to myself life is like an apple tree,
When your branches are strong,
You can take the wind and the rain,
Wild animals tear you apart,
You feel broken,
You feel incomplete,
But don’t you worry boy the son will rise again,
So don’t you give up,
The sun will rise again.
Your poem is really nice!!!!!
The journey of life
Life is like a running track,
You fall
You get up
You jump back
You jump for ward
You stop at a point
And get tired of life,
However you carry on.
You complete the marathon
But just one mistake
Can change everything,
But I will not take the dark path
I will always aim for the bright path
I will complete my journey
And never give up.
Football poem
The fan (the finished version)
I’ll tell you sis
Life ain’t been no golden rule
The football team I support
Would often fall from the top
Short
Waving my flag in the crowd
I screamed loud.LOUD!
The football wwe played was up
And down
But I did never frown
That’s not true
But only when there was
Squabbles on the pitch
Fouls and free kicks
|And only when what was bad
Was the kits
so life ain’t been
No golden rule
Hello kids
Life is like a rollercoaster
It twists and turns
If its scary never give up
Because your failing yourself
Rollercoaters are like a timemershen
Because they are fast
Its like touching the amazing clouds
Seeing people from far above and ther far down
Its like life fast and exciting
But somtimes going down
Its like getting bad makes in sats
Mixed emthens because its awsome but scary
SO have a good life
