** Rainbow **
I see a rainbow appearing before my eyes. Shimmering in beautiful shades of Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Different colours have different meanings.

Red, A boy giving a girl flowers, People doing the things they love most, Anger that burns you from the inside.

Orange, A student studying hard, determined to do well, The belief of achieving a goal, That light at the end of the tunnel.

Yellow, Friends playing together, The sun shining brightly, A smiling face in a gloomy day.

Green, A tree that's forever growing and never ending, Someone finding a four-leaf clover, The reassuring feeling of safety, like a warm hug.

Blue, The rolling waves of the ocean, That same old pale blue sky, A girl sitting in a corner, sobbing.

Purple, A queen, sitting on a throne. The endless space of our universe, Ancient magic as dark as evil itself.

//By Adithya//
// The lucidity you gave me.The knowledge that came too. // // It glistens in my head like an angels rays, and if I'm stuck I would know exactly what to do. // // You are the spark that ignites my flame and to succeed will be our aim. // // But the buried questions from deep within my soul have confused me and have put me into a black hole. // // Yet the words that you convey aloud is all that I need to make me feel proud. // // The one piece of advice that will always stay with me is the quote… // // “When the world shows you one thousand ways to cry, show the world you have one million ways to smile” // // The knowledge and courage you poured into me. // // Set me free from the cage with a key. // // You were my very first hero and I will always look up to you no matter how tall I’ll grow. // // After all you didn't teach me how to live; you lived and let me watch you do it. //

The Warning Message To You

Over the hills and far away,

that’s where you’ll find me,

out to play.

This is the magnificent sight you’ll see,

when you find me,

there will be:

A waterfall, which is so bright,

with the large “flash!” of light.

You will not want home,

the place needs to be roamed.

So if you want your mummy and daddy,

you are warned!

Or else you shall be sorry,

I record.

For the place has caves and gold,

and bronze and silver for those who are old,

the waterfall is a shower,

and the caves provide shelter,

so there will be enough things to live on,

with nothing, oh, nothing, to shiver on.

So do not come to get me,

you may as well forget me,

for if you do, I promise cheerly,

you won’t come back, I say fairly.

So do never come to get me, just make sure you forget me.

= __Gloom__ =

Gloom is a sea of musky grey Drowning a boat of laughter

It feels like a frosty wind Blowing away all joy

Gloom tastes like mouldy porridge Outdated as the dreary months pass by

It smells damp and musty Like old clothes, torn by sadness

Gloom sounds like nails down a blackboard A piercing and heavy hearted sound

Gloom looks like a mist of icy air Suffocating happiness

By Lily Tualau

__Werewolves__ Stay away from forests, stay away from swamps, these unwanted creatures will chomp, chomp, chomp. They’ll make you gasp, they’ll make you scream. These big, hairy things are just what they seem. With their sharp claws, and knife-like teeth, these beasts have cold hearts buried down deep. First they chase you, then you cry, there’s no-one around, so you must die. You’ll run away, slip in mud, cut yourself, he’ll smell the blood. So remember never leave the house at night, there are monsters lurking beyond the moonlight.

By Tayla & Simran

**The ugly monster**

The ugly monster is repulsive , You will get frightened as you read through this poem. His eyes are green as cucumber and it is as slimy as glue, As he looks into your eyes he will scare you. The dilapidated monster’s blood curdling eyes will make you a mummy, Mummy or zombie he looks like a dummy. His eyes come off whenever his enemy tries to take his food, He will eat the amount of children according to his mood. The intimidating monster eats children whenever he is ferocious, He eats 10 children through the day normally but when he is angry run for your lives! 10 adults and 10 students! eaten with his sharp knifes. So beware little children never to tread alone , On dark stormy nights in your nightgown.

Stars - by Malisha There I see beautiful, glowing, stars shining in the midnight sky. I reach my hands up and feel the soft, yellow, magical ,soothing stars. I start to feel myself lifting into the sky now... I’m flying. Soon I’m out of the Earth’s sphere and into the expansive galaxy. I soar past Saturn, Mars and Neptune I’m heading for the gigantic star. Now I’m sweating and my body’s burning up like it might explode. I can go no further and soon I realize that the this enormous star is the sun. The huge boiling red-yellowish sun is a star and I realize that now. Next I head to the most gleaming, glittering, sparkling star (my favourite!)  When I reach there I feel its warmth coming towards me. I notice it is yellow and see- through. I go through the dazzling star not knowing what to expect. There’s a twinkle in my eye. I've reached my destiny - I ascend from the ground not knowing where to go next in this wonderful universe.



**Black swan**

A placid lake Gracefully and innocently dances the black long necked bird Waiting no harm Yet the fragrance mask hides the cold blooded heart A white swan changes everything

A heart of blood, A black swan Menacingly glides towards the white bird Coat shining with purity Black beaded eyes filled with hatred Reflects the beauty of the snow swan

Approaching its prey as its teeth sink into the flesh a drop of blood seeps upon the gruesome death bed of the white swan Red water fills the rippled lake.

An innocent, graceful black bird takes the water Waiting for its next victim The wind whistles loudly And a white swan dances elegantly into its death trap.

Hatred - By Catherine It is a feeling that can’t be helped You do not mean to hurt or make anyone leave Miserableness and anger start to control you You can’t seem to stop at all, no matter what You may say that you hate all the people around you but everyone knows that it isn’t true

Falling artifacts and posters passing through shredders, leave you wanting to do more and more destruction Stomping up and down Ignoring the fact that everyone is resting downstairs Swears interrupt the peaceful prayers in the morning All you’re thinking about is sweet sweet revenge and all the damage that you could create

Bridges

Once in a dream We walked across the bridge My mother and I Across the Golden Gate bridge Just the two of us

Rain pouring onto the pavement A big and bright red umbrella Our favourite colour Sheltering us from the rain

Walking across the bridge Very close Hand in hand Walking back Very close Hand in hand

I wake up to reality Knowing that my mother is in heaven And soon I will join her One day

By Lily Tualau

I am a small cloud, floating along in the mighty world. I am a big cloud, observing and watching the diminutive people. I am a shady cloud that shelters over the unfortunate homeless. I am a drizzly cloud that puts out flames. I am a cloud that protects everyone. I may only be a simple cloud, but I can wash away your problems.
 * I am a Cloud **

By Shirley

The Seaside By Angela Y

As the Sun appeared, There was not a single person on the beach. The beach was so silent that you could hear a   bat of a butterfly's wing distinctively. The only sound that could be heard was the gentle sound of waves lapping against the sandy shore.

After no time at all the Sun was high up in the sky, The sky was now covered with clouds all shapes and sizes. A mob of people arrived to cool off from the summer heat. Children chattered energetically. Seagulls swooped around, Squawking noisily. The shrubs made a rustling sound as the wind blew against them. All the grains of sand on the beach are diamonds, Glimmering in the bright sunshine. Seashells in all kinds of shapes and sizes dotted the shoreline. In a shallow rock pool that not many people notice, Lived different plants and creatures that moved lazily in the water.

When the Sun started to set, The sky was a colourful palette of oranges and pinks. The view was breathtaking. White cotton embroidered the bright blue mirror. The children went to their families, jumped in their cars And drove home. The seagulls flew away back to their own nests.

As the night fell, the moon rose out of its slumber And into the sky. The moon was a luminous ball of bright, shining light. The morepork gave one hoot, and then another. Nocturnal creatures started to come out of hiding, Scavenging for leftovers from people or some other creatures. image from google images

__Minecraft Monsters__ By Jadon

Be careful where you step when night falls, Or all the monsters will want your souls.

Every time you take a step I promise you will regret. They’ll do anything to see you dead.

After you’ve died once, they’ll kill for more. The creeper will hiss so you better not fall.

Skeletons will shoot, Enderman will scream, Zombies will moan and Witches will cast.

Creepers will blow, so you better go, But watch out for Slimes they like to jump, If you're not careful they’ll suck your blood out.

So I say once more, Watch every step you take or the Creeper is gonna creep.

** What am I Eating? **
By Shirley

It doesn’t go crunch,

It goes munch.

It’s not sour,

It’s sweet.

It isn’t hard,

It’s soft.

(Unless Miss Maitland bakes it...)

What am I eating?

It isn’t a main course,

It’s a dessert.

It isn’t fried,

It’s baked.

It isn’t a liquid,

It’s a solid.

What AM I eating?

“Is it ice-cream?”

“No...”

“Is it pie?”

“No...”

“Is it cake?”

“No...

But close...”

“What ARE you eating?”

“Wait...

Are they BROWNIES?”

“...YES”

“I’m eating brownies!”

The End

Waterfall

Foaming water coursing down the craggy rock,

hurling itself over the edge and cascading down in a graceful arc.

The water pummels the ground when they collide.

The water roars in defiance as gallons of water tumbles down and crashes into the ground with a loud SMACK.

A giant waterfall, showering the land in drops of water that cling to the plants like dew.

The wet rock glistens in the sunlight as the water sprays it again and again.
