Poetry - Mother, Mother

Mother, Mother

Mother, Mother can't you see,
Get me down from this apple tree.

Mother, Mother don't be mean,
It is not even like I am a Teen.

Mother, Mother I am 10yrs old,
So please don't be so mean and bold.

Poetry- Clouds

Clouds



A rolling white,
A pile of cushions,
A mattress of nothingness.

Inside it you see,
A face,
A dragon or even a bee.

It changes colour from dawn to dusk,
It can be pink just like a musk.

Poetry-My Dad is a Dragon

My Dad is a Dragon

My Dad is a Dragon as he is a bit on the large side,
My Dad is a Dragon as he can get very angry when he wants to be.
My Dad is a Dragon as he can step over the line without being caught,
My Dad is a Dragon because he has a fiery breath when he wants to use it.
My Dad is a Dragon because as ugly as they may seem on the outside, they are beautiful and lovely on the inside, so I wouldn't change him for the world.

Poetry-Moon

Moon

Some think of cheese,
others a balloon,
but I think of a shinning pearl,
lighting up the night sky.
