Your Poem:
Noah's Ark
It began when god popped his head through the the clouds and said:
Oh you wicked wicked children what a mess this place is in all the violence and coruption it really is a sin
I turn my back for five aeons (I've got other work to do) keeping the universe tidy and thanks from you you've grown selfish and conceited your manners are a disgrace you come and go just as you please you'd think you owned the place
a telling off's not good enough you've grown to big for you're flesh so I think I'll wash my hands of you and start again afresh.

Your Poem:
The Song of The Shirt
With fingers weary and worn,
with eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread-
Stitch! Stitch! Stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
She sang the 'Song of the Shirt'.
"Oh, men with sisters dear!
Oh,Men with mothers and wives!
It is not linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures' lives!"
Stitch!-stitch-stitch,
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A Shroud as well as a shirt.
"But why do I talk of death?
That Phantom of grisly bone,
I hardly fear its terrible shape,
It seems so like my own.
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger and dirt,
And still with a voice of dolourous pitch,
Would that its tone could reach the rich!
She sang this 'Song of the Shirt'

Your Poem:
Rainy Nights
I like the town on rainy nights
When everything is wet-
When all the town has magic lights
And streets of shining jet!
When all the rain about the town
Is like a looking glass,
And all the lights are upside down
Below me as I pass.
In all the pools are velvet skies,
And down the dazzling street
A fairy city gleams and lies
In a beauty at my feet.

Your Poem:
Once I was round a friend's place
Once I was round a friend's place
and just as we were going out
he went over to the table
and picked up a hard lump of chewed up chewing gum with teeth marks in it
off the table top
and stuffed it in his mouth
His Gran was there and said,
"You're not taking that filthy thing with you are you"?
and he said to me
"Quick lets get out of here"

Your Poem:
I am a friendly girl who loves to swim
I wonder where I'll be in 2020
I hear the voices of my parents every time I'm in trouble
I see myself older swimming for my country
I want to grow up ambitious and kind to those around me
I am a friendly girl who loves to swim
I pretend to be someone more unhappy than me when I am
I feel the gentle waters of my pool lapping around me
I touch the bottom of the deep blue sea
I worry about depressed people around the world
I cry when my friends turn against me
I am a friendly girl who loves to swim
I understand when people are homesick
I say that everyone should listen to others
I dream of eating as much chocolate as I want
I try to be fair
I hope that my family are all happy
I am a friendly girl who loves to swim
