Spring has sprung! chelsea

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Spring has sprung up like a bouncy balloon,

Everythings bursting with life.

The land has been painted with

bright shiny colours,

The world is alive once again.

Flowers have unfolded,

The bumble bees are back.

The bunny rabbits hop about,

Along the grassy track.

Spring has sprung up like a trickling stream,

Everythings bursting with life.

The grass has been sprinkled with

tiny blue dewdrops,

Spring has sprung up once again!

The Man by Christian

christian — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:09:13 GMT

The Man

Who is the man who walks down the street

With scars upon his hands and feet

He does not fear any gangs or bands

Yet He is the ruler of all the lands

He wears a crown of all gold

And in His hands the world He holds

He leads us thru the chilly mist

And protects us thru the dark abyss

Lord Christ our Savior

I Wonder name Hayley age 10

I WONDER

When days are

Dull and skys

Are grey I sit

At my window

Thinking what would

A storm be

Like would it

Woosh everybody away ?

Would thunder make

The noise clish clash

Clish maybe so?

Would lightning

Make all different shapes

In the sky ?

If I sat at my window

All day I

Wonder if a

Storm would

Come along

Someday .

Lost

Charlotte — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:47:59 GMT

Where's me dog, where's me dog

he's got himself lost

in the snow and fog.

I look in the yard and under the car

on a night like this

he can't of gone far.

I check the stables but he's not there

oh where can he be,

oh where! Oh where!

I call his name out loud and shout

for him to come back

but he's nowhere about.

I tramp the fields and search the wood

I know he'd come back

if only he could!

As tears stream down my face

the fear of not knowing

sets ...

ELEPHANT JOKES

suzie — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 14:06:19 GMT

Why do elephants walk on two feet?

To give the ants a chance!

Why do elephants have trunks?

Because they've no pockets to put things in!

Why did the elephant jump in the lake when it began to rain?

To stop getting wet!

What do elephants do in the evenings?

Watch elevision!

How to elephants talk to each other?

By 'elephone!

What did the zoo keeper say when he saw four elephants walking over the hill towards him wearing sunglasses?

Nothing, he didn't recognize them!

When ...

MOTHER NATURE BY ANDREW STAGLES

Maggie — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:28:38 GMT

Mother nature�s done her duty

Way above and beyond,

She�s brought the land to life again

She�s waved her magic wand.

She�s woken all the flowers up,

Sprinkled rain drops on their heads,

Now she�s sent the sunshine out

To raise them from their beds.

She dresses all the trees in green,

She gives the grass its dew,

But she�s not finished quite just yet

She�s still got much to do.

Now that winter�s over,

She must clear away the snow,

And she has to tell the North wind

�You�re ...

My Dog Jake

Charlotte — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:59:08 GMT

My dog Jake

is dear to me,

a bonnier lad

you'll never see,

his silky black hair

and muzzle grey,

he brings me joy

everyday.

With his laughing eyes

so honest and kind

a more faithfull friend

you'll never find.

He cheers me up

when I feel sad,

he's the bestest friend

I've ever had.

So here's to you

my baby boy

and many more years

filled with joy.

Written by Charlotte,

(for my border collie Jake)

The Conceited Cat

Charlotte — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:17:15 GMT

I'm lovely, I'm slender

I'm sleek and slim,

infact I'm the handsomest cat

you've ever seen.

The life I lead

is second to no other,

no-one to answer to

not even my mother.

I'm the king of my castle,

the lord of my throne,

I'm the tall dark prince

to whom all I'm known.

I'm of royal blood you see

from my native home in Siam,

for you'll never meet another

quite as grand as I am.

My paws are draped with jewels

and riches to behold

even my collar

is made of gold.

I'm ...

Moonlight at Midnight

tango — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:35:26 GMT

Moonlight at Midnight

Moonlight at midnight

And no one's awake,

Save the one at window

Waiting for daybreak.

Her eyes staring down

Into the meadows,

Glittering with moonbeams

And secret dark shadows.

The moon sooths her nightmares

Which wake her from sleep,

She sits at the window

She refuses to weep,

While the moonlight reflects

Off the darkening pane,

And gathers in crystals

Of yesterday's rain.

The mystery of moonshine

The ...

Fantasy

Charlotte — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:45:16 GMT

In a land of oceans

lives a mighty whale

where dreams come alive

when the moon sets sail.

On a path to the stars

down to rainbows end,

a unicorn waits

she'll be your friend,

and you'll dance on the waves

to the mermaids song,

hold hands with mountains

in the winds so strong.

Meet with dragons

and breath their fire,

talk with sleep

for she'll never tire.

Beyond castle walls

all glistening bright

a genies lamp

captures the night,

paints it with stars

from oceans ...

Dreamland

Charlotte — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:13:06 GMT

Under my pillow

while asleep in bed,

when the clock chimes twelve

and the day is now dead,

the moon knocks on my window

fills my room with light

and beckons me over

out into the night.

I take her hand

above the clouds we fly,

across stepping stone stars

in the cold night sky.

To the land of nod

above the tree tops green

where we ride the big Zzz's

to where nobodies been.

We pass the house

where the sun lies asleep,

all cosy and warm

she looks ...

A Wizard called Ben

suzie — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 14:55:00 GMT

A WIZARD CALLED BEN

Down in the dark and leafy glen

there was a wizard his name was Ben

one day he cast a very bad spell

and made a fairy brown and smell.

Oh dear the fairy she did cry

her wings were stuck,she could not fly

she cried so much there was a flood

a river of tears that flowed like blood.

Ben the wizard toppled off his wall

into the river of tears he did fall

this did break his evil spell

at last the fairy was all well.
