Year 7 Poetry 

From Ms. Richard's class 

Lockdown – by Zoe 

I don’t want to 

I just don’t

It’s hard to lift my hands and type

If I wait long enough

It will go

 

But it doesn’t.

It hangs around

Following me 

Sitting in my mind

Silently

 

The stress is on my back

I don’t know how to get rid of it

It’s just there

Watching me.

Stalking me.

 

I don’t know why it is so heavy

Or so impossible

It’s a small thing

Like a stone in my shoe

Just the two of us

 

Alone          

Untitled - By Ellie 

Falling, falling, down and down

Sadness clouding my thoughts now

 

Through the darkness I hear your voice

Soft, gentle, calling for calm, the right choice 

 

Slowly, slowly the dark subsides

As I stare into your light blue eyes 

 

Feelings of rage and hatred led desire,

Dissolving like a candlelit fire.

 

my lungs still burning from envy and rage,

my breathing is shallow, my mind is a cage 

 

your warm arms surround me, an inviting embrace

dispersing all my loathing and disgrace

 

Up and down my breathing falls,

Gently slowing as your voice calls

 

No longer fueled with raging fire,

My body calms with comforting tire 

 

Your hand runs through my midnight hair, 

Rough and firm but done with care 

 

My eye releases one small tear,

A salty concoction of love and fear 

 

The fear that one day you will leave me alone, 

To drown in my sorrows and go on my own

 

A fear that you will not be here to comfort my doubts, 

I close off the gates of these unpleasant routes 

 

I cherish the moment and rest in your care,

And know that I will always be safe there

following the tiny waves

Wishing you were here

Untited - By Caitlyn

Her wings shone over the pond

The flowers leant towards her wand

Everyone was fond of the little creature flying by

This fairy was quite mythical, but shy

 

Her pale skin shimmering in the sun 

A dress of leaves and fun

Little tools of sticks and stones

The creatures sing all sorts of tones

 

Leering round the corner, 

Was something nearing closer

Yellow eyes followed the fairy

Was it hunger or was he just scary? 

 

Alone a meal awaited at the pond

Fairies tasted better blonde

But who was even he?

What was even he?

 

A furry monster in need of friendship,

He was called Henry of the Wrecked Ship

To approach without being scary?

He would never be liked by a fairy!

 

Loneliness sensed by the shy fairy,

She turned his diet to veg and dairy!

All the fairies were scared at first,

But now fairies embrace his curse

 

Although Henry’s family disapprove,

Now, the fairies just dance and groove

They sit on toadstools with flowers as hats,

A wolf now follows them round like a pack.

                                                                                    

My poem Haiku - By Ayden

Dogs, smooth coat, dark eyes

They remain the top type of pet

Their strength is boundless
