Next get together

We hope to meet again on the 17th September 10-12 at the newly branded Rochdale Central Library, you may well remember it as The Wheatsheaf Library.
National Poetry Day is on Thursday 6th October and the theme is "Games." We hope to write lots of Kennings and Etherees on that day and add them to this blog.
If you want to find out what a Kenning or an Etheree is - you will just have to join us on the day!

circus stars

circus stars are very special when they do their circus tricks
they can do the tight-rope walk which I think is very special
and juggling which is very clever when done with mysterious sticks

circus stars are also very special when they do a tumbling trick
they can fly through the air and never fall down
the strong man lifts the weights up very quick
and thats why I think circus stars are very special

Homes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homes homes,
Where-ever we rome,
Ther's no-where better than home,
A home is a shelter,
A home is a welter,
A home is our shield,
A home has a celler,
A home has a yeller,
You can travel the world,
You can travel the seas,
But at the end of the day,
Home is what you want to see.

What are homes?

Home sweet home,
Some homes are big,
Some homes are small,
Some homes are long,
Some homes are short,
Homes are cosy,
Homes are safe,
Homes keep you warm,
Homes protectyou from storms,
Homes are special,
Homes take care of you,
Homes are where you live,
Homes are where you rest,
You can watch TV,
Homes are where you can play,
And have lots of fun,
Homes are where you have breakfast,
Lunch Dinner and supper,
Read books, do art and all other things,
Watch DVDs, films or make a phone call,
And imagine that you're something!

Home

Home sweet home,
Home is where,
Me and family live,
Home is where,
I love to be,
It's full of happiness,
And joy,
It completes my day,
With a cheerful cry,
In happiness I,
jump up and down,
Because i've got a home,
A very special home too,
Where me and my family,
Live happily!!!!!!!!!!
