World Poetry Day: Guest Poems: Written by Nicole Year 8

I was really astounded when Nicole approached me to tell me she wrote poetry. Nicole suffers from turrets, she has a time out card she can use when she is having a rough patch. She tends to come to the library to calm down (plus I bribe her with sweets, lol). I am touched that she wanted to share her poetry with me (and ultimately you). My lesson in remembering not to judge a book by its cover [ ; D ] 

Friends Birthday

Its my best friends birthday,

She has one every year.

I like to buy her present,

to celebrate her birth.

She doesn't have a party,

because she is just too old,

but goes out for a meal

or has a sleepover at home.

Holidays

Holidays are the best,

I mean, You get to rest.

You sunbathe by the pool,

use a fan to make you cool.

You watch the skies above,

with the ones you love.

Bad Guy

I might be mean,

I might be sad, I can honestly say,

I ain't that bad.

You are sad,

You are mean, well that's how it seems.

But deep inside,

I know too well,

You ain't the bad guy,

Just under a spell.
