The colour we see on a hot day

A hare’s wild look

How do I change my life?

How do I change my life
I’ve become a stranger to life
Ashamed of running outside and riding a bike
Afraid I wont be liked

The Rainbow door

Silence at the graveyard

Flowers and teardrops
Colours and treetops
The rabbit’s hop
The Angel’s watch

Save me save me
Crave me crave me
Fav me fav me
Do not wave goodbye

Slamming the door
Teenage war

Raining,water tapping the window
But luckily I feel warm
Peacefully till dawn

Noodle street (China town)

At school watching peers kissing in the hall
I wondered what was the code?
At college friends chatting to each other
What was the code?

I look at the beach
Are they all cheats?

I wrap a jacket round my waist
Looking around for the perfect face
Hiding under sunglasses
Waiting for a taste


School

Crushing up salt and vinegar hula hoops
Shopping for buttons on Leyland Market

Murray mints on holiday in the car in Devon
Church Fair
Buying a tiger  glitter picture and rollerskates
Skating down the hill
The day I saw Monet
Holding my sisters hands

‘Conviction’
‘I like to get off with people,

I like to be held and tightly kissed,
Safe from all alarms –

There is on bliss like this’-Stevie Smith

STORY IS KEY

Pictures are essential,they must be bright and eye-catching
Humour is an absolute must because it draws in children.
They love to laugh at others  like them,and if the protagonist does
Obviously dumb or silly things,so much the better

Little people can indeed triumph over grown-ups
Poo poo,pee pee,tushies,,passing gas,burping,underwear –all hilarious
Example
‘School assembly –who farted?!

Your main character is the soul of your story
Character arc is a visual tool

Children are wild creatures at heart
Emotions right at the surface

How far do your tears travel?
Down you face?
A stream?
The ocean?

The honey of the book
The epiphany is magic

As sensitive as I can be
I hold a butterfly

Rhyme is an echo

A perfect room
Attracts new world tourists like a magnet

Love

If I light up some fireworks
Will you know how to find me?

If I light a candle
Can I lead you home?

I can’t see any stars and I feel alone
Can I excite you and write a song?

Can I meet you at sunset
Hold both of your hands and face you perfect

How long am I going to be at sea?
I dream of dolphins swimming with me

Maybe I should lay down
With the starfish on the sea floor
Or find a ship wreck

When the breeze comes through the leaves like
Lots of diamond studs

Seeing memory
Looking at him,watching a waterfall
Touching memory
The feel of mum’s home-made cotton dresses

The first time hands around my waist

Birthday Poem

Birthday Poem

Here is a poem so keep the drinks flowing
A little whisky glowing!

I want you to have the best birthday
In one year’s time you’ll be thirty!

I hope you get lots of pressies
Have a break from M’cy D’s stresses!

I hope the sun comes out
So you can sit outside with a can of stout!

Brother,brother
I hope there’s no cloud cover
You work so hard
A committed runner

Sometimes you bug me
Sometimes you hug me
But I don’t know anyone else so funny

Simple as a first kiss
A persistent twinkle
Beats any wrinkle

A best belly dream
Everyday

Where petals fall
The marital bed

Festival goer
I want to wear a fake flower crown

Everyone’s twirling at the funfair
The carousel
The Waltzers
Love is in the air

The sweet jar
Playing racing car
Hands up to the stars
And the milky bar

Do you think my Barbie
Will come alive?
Will my prince ever arrive?

Can I have a dolly?
Can I have a lolly?
Can I have a go-kart?
Can I draw some wall art?

Love is always
Love is ablazed
Love is amazed

Love is New York in May
Love is the sun’s red glaze
Love is stargazed

He brushed is hand up my thighs
Until he heard my cries
He picked me up put me on the bed
And poured the ocean into my eyes
He sucked my breasts,licked my nipples
Sent me a thousand ripples
He held my waist like a double bass
Spung me round he dance floor
He licked me into wet peaches
I laid back and thought of beaches

Running away in my sleep
Hoping that we will meet

The Light Bulb

The electric light
The moment
The light bulb was invented
I would have loved to have been there,
When the darkness ended

I would like to thank Thomas Edison for disco lights!
For the light on my bike
For the torch I shine in my room at night

I thankyou for the illuminations and  street lamps
How did he create that spark?

I can read my book with the side light
I can find my key with a keyring light
I can watch the ocean from a lighthouse
I can watch the pretty city above

I can see where I’m going in a car at night
Thankyou Thomas Edison for traffic lights!
Thankyou for mobile phone lights
Especially at a concert,all beautiful and bright

Thankyou for the spotlight and Hollywood
Thankyou for the theatre and making us look good!

Thankyou for helping us search for people
Who are lost in the woods or out at sea
The fridge light so we can eat –at midnight
The camera light
Lights,camera action
The humble light bulb

A festive orange
A festive smile
