The first Sound of War (free verse)

I can hear the first sound of war.
I can sense fear in the air.
It dawned on me that this could be my last day in Afghanistan.

Then I can hear it, I can see it,
The U.S. Military have arrived.
I see bullets whiz through the air,
Just like my Dad’s darts on Friday night.
Military men march through the streets,
Like an army of ants.

I hear eerie quietness settle over the town,
I look across at our Afghani flag flying high and proud.
I see children playing in the street, not aware of the danger.
Shopkeepers anxiously stay open.

I think to my self
Why is this happening?
What did we do to deserve this?
What is going to happen?
Where will we go?

Haiku Poems

In the Air
Flipping through the air
With judges watching closely

Orange razor swords
See an orange bird
Floating in front of blue sky
It wings like razor swords.

Mango nectar
Sweet nectar juices
Bursting out from the first bite
Melting in my mouth.

Metaphor-Beautiful Butterfly

My Mum is a butterfly
She is beautiful and free
with fine hair, eyes and pretty cheeks
underneath lovely and strong
loves to cook in the kitchen
and spend time in the garden
socialising with friends and family
Whenever she's around you,
You'll always be smiling

I have a job in a circus and my act is to be on the ball.

We went out whale watching and we had a whale of a time.

The checkout lady asked the man if he had any cents and the man said “sorry I have no scene”.

The Doctors patience had almost died then his patients’ did die.

The wood in the fire was firing away.

Philippa the Dolphin

Philippa is a dolphin
Her body builds up power from head to toe
Projecting herself out fast and strong
Flipping and tumbling through the air
Piercing the water like a pin
She effortlessly glides through the bubbles
Preparing to hurl herself out again

Holly Loves Lollies
There once was a girl named Holly
Who liked to eat a lolly
She fancied orange frogs
But disliked purple dogs
And she shared it with her dolly.

Bridgett the Midget
There once was a girl named Bridgett
And boy was she a midget
She looked so small
If you were tall
And all she did was fidget.

As poor as a mouse
As strong as Mount Zion
As cute as a puppy
As smart as a lion

As thin as a pin
As white as a snow flake
As fit as a swimmer
As dumb as a rake

As bald as a babies bum
As neat as my room
As proud as a winner
As ugly as doom

I didn’t have the patience to see the doctor.

They didn’t lettuce have any salad today.

It didn’t a peel to me that it’s good to eat orange skin.

I didn’t know how to Taiwan of my ties.

My two friends came dressed as witches to the party. I didn’t know which was which.

Eye want an I scream.

I fell off a cliff it was a great feet.

The candle wax my hand.

Simile- Do you know my Family?

My Mum is like a robot that never ever stops,
She works all day until she drops!

My dad is like all things in one,
He’s smart, funny and very strong.

My sister Jo is like a music box,
She sings all day and never stops.

My brother Reuben is like a grandpa,
He’s slow but has his funny moments, haha!

My sister Soph is like a mini pop star,
She sings and dances if she’s near of far.

My dog Roxy is like a Jamaican runner,
She’s really quick and a crowd stunner.

Haikus

The whistle goes.

Umpires whistle.
Running up and down the court.
Time to concentrate.

The cheater.

It zooms right past me.
Couldn’t catch a sight of it.
Stand there bewildered.

I love chocolate.

Melting in my mouth.
Eating it with strawberries.
Could eat it all day.

Metaphor- Watch out for my dog

My dog is a police officer,
She stops anything that comes her way.
She chases the birds,
Until they leave making sure we’re not in danger.
At night she eats her food, has a rest,
And goes back to duty.
She can run really fast,
She can stop whatever she wants.
Sometimes I think she is a sheep dog,
Putting everything together.
When she’s inside she still barks at things,
Outside the front door.
She prowls around quietly,
And when she hears something she barks.
The only time when she isn’t on guard,
Is when she sees a cat!

Free verse- Wars Are A Waste

Why is there always somewhere a war?
A war over politics, a war over religion,
A war over land causing division.


So much blood, so much pain
So many lives lost what a waste.
All the fighting and shooting,
Going back and forth.


Wars from so many years
And so many countries.
Dividing the world,
All into enemies.


All the soldiers, fighting for their country.
Not knowing what’s in front of them.
Some in tanks and some on the ground.
Giving their lives up for the world.

VICTORY
The people cheering,
Sprinting down the pool
Give it all you got!

DAZZLING DOLPHINS
Swimming in the water,
All the crowds roaring!

TASTY TREAT
Pineapple is sweet,
It is a delicious treat
and very healthy!

Simile- Bunny & Stumpie

The bunny is like a cumulus cotton cloud,
fuzzed up in a ball.
The stunpy is like nights in rusty armor,
all rough and lumpy.
The bunny is like an olympic sprinter,
dashing through the paddock.
The stumpy is likea slow going elepaant,
as it ambles across the sand.
The bunnies teeth like an excuvator,
to gnaw away.
The stumpies mouth like bubblegum,
all soft and gummy.
The bunnys feet like smooth leather,
off a carpenters belt.
The stumpies feet like rock solid statues,
with claws like thorns.
The bunny is soft and runs for shelter,
while the stumpie is strong defending its territory.

Free Verse-That Day Dark

Everyone is unshure if the fire will come
In the air there is a fear of dying
There was very thick smoke
The extremely fierce red and yellow fire
Everywhere is filled with with heat
Theres a sign of relief the fire is finally over
Absoulutely everything is covered in ash
Everywhere i look around it is BLACK
All the nature, is crippeled and burnt
All i see, are the poor people, who suffered in the fire
People are heartbroken, with everything they've lost
Scared and shocked people with nowhere to go! :(

They were also friends with me.

Limericks

There once was a girl called Bridget.
She couldn’t help herself to fidget.
She went to the doctor,
Who accidently knocked her.
He said: “it’s only because you’re a midget.

Fiona had a friend called Sue.
They didn’t have clue what to do.
They thought and they thought,
And finally bought.
Two tickets for the zoo.

There was a clown called Ronald.
He had a friend called Donald.
They ate lollies,
While playing with dollies.
Everyday at McDonalds.
