Wonderful Poems from Hallsville School

On Friday I was privileged to pay my first visit as Patron of Reading to Hallsville School in Newham, London. The visit was the first of six scheduled for the 2018/19 academic year, and I had the pleasure of working with Years 5 and 6. I am excited to share some poems that emerged from my workshops. All the workshop participants should be extremely proud of themselves!

You by Layla

You are my swimming pool
Keeping me relaxed and calm

You are my house
Keeping me safe and sound

You are my Turkish food
Keeping me healthy and full

You are my rollercoaster
Keeping me happy and joyful

You are my TV
Keeping me interested and amused

Memories by Jayden

I sit on the plaster
Waiting to matter
As everyone starts
To chatter
I wish they knew
How I felt
As I waited for him
He was holding
His scooter handle
I wanted him
To blow out
My fire
He kept looking
At his computer
Until he puffed
And he huffed
And finally
My flame went
Away

Colours by Clara

Lavender purple describes me
Purple is a galaxy in the sky
It is a unicorn
Peaceful but cheeky
Lavender purple is a cupcake
It is a colour everyone would choose
It is as cute as a newborn baby
Purple is a heart no one can break
It is a colour you
Don’t see everywhere
Purple is a mix of blue and pink
Great in every single way
Because it is amazing
Like me

Colours by Raquelle

Black describes me
It is empty but full of emotion
It is the friend that is always there
It is the dark next to the light
Black describes me
It is the silent assassin of the night
The stranger to the morning
And the strange quiet that is usually there
Black describes me
It will always calm you down
In daylight or in the night
Black describes me
It likes isolation but hates being alone
It is the thing to take away your worries
And send you off
To a journey of sleep

Black describes me
