Waterlily

A gentle dark falls upon the sky

Forever more will there be an extra star in that loneliness

But you float with us, a waterlily on our lake.

 

Poppy Ashton, Year 7, Angelou

Older

Wen I'm older I will b a soldier 

I'm leaving u my love all memories r in a folder

wen I go dont shed a tear

I will b in ur heart and always near

 

Brennan Lambert, Year 11, Angelou

Stuck Underneath

I'm sorry that I'm trying to keep myself for longer

I'm sorry that I am being strong,

When you're meant to be stronger!

 

Laura Boyd, Year 7, Angelou

A school based drama

Into school base Mia came quiet time

after a silly classroom game 

Told off and angry on a sofa she sat

she got a few books and curled up like a cat.

 

Ruby Moss, Year 11, Turing

Morning

As I wake up from my cosy bed,

I open the curtains and scratch my head,

I can already feel the cold air,

as if the clouds don't even care!

Morning

 

Beth Hedgeland, Year 7, Angelou

Wind whistles through the trees,

twisting and turning,

but where does the wind go?

It slows down and speeds up

but eventually it's gone - where?

 

Theo Goodwin, Year 7, Angelou
