The Ocean

The angry waves attack
the shore
Rolling in forever more
The silent sky a mere witness
To the oceans ferociousness

The evil wind with it's cold
bite
Roams the seas and shores
at night
Blowing trees and plants
below
Creating one almighty show

The silky moon in the
silent sky
Controlling all chaos
up high
But out at sea is a fishing boat
In which is me

The boat rocks
vigorously
The Ocean
will never set it free
The tiny boat with only me

The Rescue

"Hang on Lucy, come on leave the ring!" still trying to reach the wedding token, my hand cold, my bride dress ruined, tears spilling from my eyes. I guess my body decided to give up on me and I fell like a dying dove from the cliff, the fall seemed to last a lifetime and as the icy water dragged me down into the depths I suddenly remembered how nicely the day had begun. It's as if I am going back in time to the start of my Special Day. I can hear faint music it is getting louder. Suddenly I'm on dry land again!

I hear cello's playing a wedding tune and see Edward at the end of an aisle smiling his soft gentle smile. I can see my parents in tears to finally let their daughter go. I walk down the aisle to the end, me and Edward smile at each other as the preist droned on The sun was shining full blast but suddenly as if it has been swiched off the sun disappears. Lightening cracks and one rain drop fell followed by another and another. Soon it drizzle, thunder rolls and soon the grass has changed into a grubby muddy mess. The page boy comes with the ring and some thing terrible happens. He slips the ring flies through the air and without thinking I run after it. As it flew over my heart realised what was going to happen but it was too late. The next thing I knew I was over the edge clinging to a rock the ring just out of reach below me. Suddenly I am falling falling falling...

This time as I touch the water a floating sensation takes over me, lifts me towards the sky, up, up above Edward, above the clouds. Then I am falling, falling, then darkness. I woke up feeling dazed, I was lying down staring at three men. "She's alive!" they said. I got up my wedding dress, once white, was dripping with mud. Suddenly I saw Edward, I rushed to him, in his hand I saw something, It couldn't be, wet slightly smeared with mud it was, the ring.

The day I got flushed down the toilet
It didn’t go terribly well
My mum was on the boilit
And my sister was playing with gel
My dad was in the tool shed
Looking for a brush
And then came the sound of a long despairing flush
Down in the sewer
Full of manure
It really really smelt
When I reached the ocean
I let out a big SHOUT
And found myself in the fountain
Swimming with the trout




There was a pig
who wore a wig
a wig the color of wine
whenever he read
the animals said
wigs are never so fine

The Golden Ring.

One evening in spring, I found a golden ring
I tried to pick it up, but it was stuck
In the muck

So I called my mum, she came on the run,
We pulled and we pulled
But it just didn’t budge,
Just like it was stuck in hard chocolate fudge

So I called my dad
He went mad


We pulled and we pulled
But it just didn’t budge
Just like it was stuck in hard chocolate fudge


So we called my sisters
Those nasty blisters


We pulled and we pulled
But it just didn’t budge
Just like it was stuck in hard chocolate fudge


Then out of the house, stumbled a mouse
We called the mouse from out of the house
And we pulled and we pulled
And out of the ground with a whizz and a bang
Out the ring sprang

Up in the air
And landed on a chair,
Next to the mouse that had stumbled out of the house
And that sunny evening in spring
I gave the mouse the golden ring

Little Pipid Piper

Little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze
so he went to the dairy maid and asked for some cheese
the dairy maid said no because he never said please
so little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze.




Little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze
so he went to the gardener and asked for some peas
but the gardener said no because he never said please
so little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze.



Little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze
so he went to the dog and asked for some fleas
but the dog said no because he never said please
so little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze.




Little pipid piper had a horrid sneeze
so he went to the doctor and took some pills from the pill concocter
the doctor said well blind me urd
and soon the wretched boy was cured.

Pebbles the river and bridge

Once upon a time there lived a girl named Grace. She lived with her mother and father who cut wood from the huge neighbouring forest to build plantations. So the forest was not bigger than a wood. Now Grace was sixteen many Caribbean and African slaves were being bought to plant and harvest for the rest of their days. She felt sorry for them so she decided to do something but what?

When Grace was twenty two she has a plan this is how it happened. She was walking along the river when she came to a patch pebbles. Grace picked one up and kept it. Then she came to a bridge but as she reached the edge she and dropped the pebble off the edge. She fetched her net and fished it out this taught Grace there’s always a way.


Grace ran home and opened her diary and wrote down her plan this is what she wrote.

I will go and buy some slaves but then I get home I take their chains and say help me dig a hole under the river then break the bridge and fill the hole with mud. So she bought and un-chained slaves

It took twenty days a twenty nights before it was finished as they sang this song may freedom come soon in this wonderful moon we sing this song because things could go wrong on this starry starry Night. When the hole was finished Grace told all the slaves that thirty slaves would leave each night.
Then when the slaves went though she would fill the hole with stones and cover it with mud. Her parent’s thought they were going mad each day they had less slaves. Graces plan went very well the slaves were honoured her and made her queen and named their city after her. For many years after she died slaves told this story.

And that was the story of the pebbles the river and the bridge.

PLACES

Places to go places to think
Places to use as an ice skating rink.

Places to jump places to hop
There are even some places we use to
Shop.


Some places are light others are dark
Some places are like a walk in the
Park.


But my favorite place is snug up in
Bed put down the book good night
Sleepy head zzz.
