Some fabulous poems were produced at my workshops this year. Some participants kindly agreed to share their work. These two are from a brother and sister who attended together. Both are still at school, one secondary and one primary. It was wonderful to have them attend the workshops. Ages 10+ are welcome to attend and they do bring a breath of fresh air.
Bluebell by Holly Pugh
Beautiful flowers
Lasting for weeks
Used for bouquets
Easy to spot
Bluebells catch my eye
Every time I step into spring
Lovely colours
Love how they fill me with glee
The Moon is… by Josh Pugh
The moon is undervalued,
Lonely, boring, dead,
In the eyes of mankind.
The moon is made of cheese,
An attempt at bringing life to it,
When in fact there is no need,
For the moon holds great power
It controls the tides,
Deciding the fate of those at sea,
It is the sun’s representative at night
Showing the presence of light
While looking majestic in the dark sky
However nobody sees this
So the moon is undervalued.
