Toenails
Toenails are my favourite colour, green.
Toenails are a very good source of Vitamin C
Toenails are what I throw at my sister
when she takes too long in the bathroom
Toenails are what I eat
when Mum forgets to give me lunch money
Toenails have fights with walls, and lose
Toenails make lovely sounds
when scratched down a chalkboard
Toenails get painted on by my sister
Toenails kiss the dirt
and sometimes take the dirt home for a bath
Toenails are the knife of a foot
Toenails get caught in the carpet
and trip you over
Toenails hate shoes, socks
and
falling
rocks!
love poem
Today
Ms Batlow
read us a poem on love
your lips are like cherries
ripe, sweet, and soft fruit
we kiss under a pale moon
we swoon
our hands clam tight
eyes bright
may this moment linger
I slip this ring upon your finger
our lips,
our hands
our hearts…
when she finishes
32 students who hate Maths
put up their hands
and say
"please Ms can we do Maths now
please..."
