My poems and stories:

bees

Bees buzzing in the bushes

busy stinging on my stomach

ooch ouch don't be mean

Flitting flying flower to flower 

heard and often seen

 

smokeyMy cat Smokey is like a soft ball of wool,

Silky and grey.

He sleeps like a dormouse all through the day.

He purrs like a motor

 And runs like the wind.

He looks like a rabbit, when he is happy and grins.

 

Chocolate is my favourite food

Because it's soft and creamy.

It's very nice in my mouth

It is really very good.

 sweet chocolate

When I open up the wrapper

It rustles in my ear

When I put it on my tongue

It messes around my face

When it slides down my throat

It squelches down the lane.

 

I'm miserable and I'm lonely

The wind whispers in the school

There's no one in there

My locker is sad there's nobody opening me

My bag is rustling in the corner

I'm very lonely

The library is silent

There's no one reading in there

The teachers have gone home

I'm lonely

No rustling of the books no quiet chit chat

I'm lonely

 

shopping

When I go shopping down to the forum

it's like going into an ant's nest,

lots of people dashing here and there with goods in their trolleys.

Shelves of clothes that I want to have.

Ice creams.  My mouth watering like a turned on tap.

I might have the rainbow one the colours like the rainbow after rain.
