Child

Child takes off the dog’s collar

The little horror!

Child put’s a worm in my tea

The little monkey!

Child empty’s the tissue box

Keeps taking their socks off!

Child keeps climbing the settee

Keeps touching the TV

One minute a child has a meltdown

The next,they are acting like clown

Child draws a work of art on the wall

Leaves out their toys so you could trip or fall

Child get’s you with a water gun

You run round the garden!

Child eats all the cake mixture

Doesn’t mind having a picture

Child draws on a sleeping parent

Goes in the jewellery box,make-up and fragrance

Child gets ice cream all over their face,

They don’t care,they love the taste!

Child brings in all the mud

Then they promise to be good

Child fills the washing up bowl with too many bubbles

Then promises to be no trouble

Child hides away some shoes

It’s the sign of terrible twos!

Child brings in a small mouse

Into the summerhouse

Child does a wee in a cupboard

To make sure they are remembered

Child high on sugar

Misbehaving for their father and mother

Child steals icing off a cake

Closes their eyes but stays awake

Child says they ‘walked up a Mountain’ with a backpack

Fed bread to the ducks at the pond,quack,quack!

Child unlocks the front gate

Just wants to join their playmates!

I want to paint waves

Into the good

You are a purple sky

Please don’t tell me another death story

A kind of flower

Summer bloom

Romance on the park

Give me your coat if it rain’s hard

There’s sun,there’s sand,there’s spark

A rainbows arch

‘Talking in bed

An emblem of two people being honest’-Philip Larkin

‘What will survive of us is love’-Philip Larkin

‘I love you like I never loved anyone before

When you call my heart stops beating

Then I open the door

Then I see you I stop bleeding’-Daniel Ingham

A high leaper

A dedicated dreamer

‘The pretty little stream crystal clear in the spring’-Katie Bevon

My poppy hero

‘They risk their lives to protect us

To keep us from harm.

We honour and respect them

Their strong,solid charm’-Matthew Wilkinson

A letter from a soldier

I just want to hold ya

The beautiful twilight

The charming reef

Friends don’t care what you look like or wear

They will stay with me until the end,they don’t care about my trend

With great care

He undressed me

Love can be the start

‘Autumn leaves fall to the ground

Orange,red,brown

Crisp to the sound’-Catherine Stewart

‘Chocolate Fountain’

‘I saw it there,staring at me,

Surrounded by all kinds of gorgeous sweets

Like a waterfall falling into the sea

The melting chocolate went well with my treats’-Laura Dixon

Christmas is the heart of you

The fun fair is the heart of you

Skittles rainbow chews

The happiness of a gift

Cereal,children’s dessert

A big bowl of fun

I just have to glare!

‘The marshmallow clouds,

A perfect picture’-Matthew Alpin

New promises at dawn

The sun’s out,it feel’s warm

‘Physical adoration’

It’s market day

It’s sweetie day!

‘Happiness tastes like marshmallows in hot chocolate!’-Anon

I love music

Especially the piano

And a pretty song!

Love

‘If a kiss was a raindrop,I’d send you showers,

If a hug was a second,I’d send you hours,

If a smile was water,I’d send you a sea,

If love was a person,I’d send you me’-Clare Taylor

Happy family fun

Picking a spot on the beach

Waves of electricity on a velvet train

‘Bright as flame’-Lucille Clifton

‘An ocean of marvellous things’-Lucille Clifton

‘The lord of language field and sky’-Lucille Clifton
