Craig Bradley comes to see us again!

We welcomed back Craig Bradley this week. We had a world exclusive new poem about "dunkers" that he wrote on the train journey to see us.
I can't put the poem on the blog because it belongs to Craig. He has two new books of poems just published - look out for them soon in every Rochdale Library.
His poem about leeks is great - and with the left over leeks we had a lovely meal with leek and potato soup and parmesan cheese and leek bread! - Lovely!!!!

My Summer Poem!!!

Spring,......., autumn, and winter,
They are the seasons I like just a bit,
But I truly have to say,
Summer is the best than all the rest,
Summer makes you laugh,
Summer makes you play,
Summer will always have it's way,
Summer will always guide you through the day,
The summer food I like to eat will have to be,
Ice-cream and jelly will help my belly,
Fruit and vegetables will help me grow,
Cake will help me relax,
Fish will make me smart,
Summer rain,
Summer fall,
Summer glitter,
And Summer sparkle,
And remember Summer will always come again!!

by Mariyam!!

My Summer Fruit!!!

Bananas and sultanas,
Don't think I'm just nanas,
Forget the mustard,
It's all about the custard,
Ice-cream and jelly,
Is yummy for my belly,
Don't be hasty,
Everything's just so tasty,
Eat healthy,
Stay healthy,
What's your favourite dish,
Make a wish!!!!!!

By Billal

Summer!!!!!!

Summer is fun,
Summer is the best,
Summer's the season,
That beats all the rest,
With it's sun shining,
Down on me,
My knowledge has increased,
For my celebration,
I'm going to have a party,
With all the dining!!!

By KIRAN

my acrostic Summer!!!!!!!

Summer, shimering, sun, shines,
Utterly grateful is what it is,
Meaningly there are no words to describe summer,
My summer is the best,
East, west, south, or north,

Reassuringly, relaxingly, summer will be there!!!!

Love and........?

Love is in the air,
Oh it is everywhere,

Vows are made,

Each day another falling in love,
A miracle waiting,
No one knows what's going to happen,
Day by day wonders are being made!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BY KIRAN

The Easter Poem!!!!!!

The Easter bunny is funny,
He makes lots of money,
Easter is not abot the money,
It's about being really funny,
When it's really sunny,
Outside I hope,
I see an Easter bunny,
Easter eggs are such a treat,
When the birds hear,
The word they go tweet,
Baby chicks are just the pick,
Or maybe a little,
Not really a big Easter egg,
Will do me please that's Easter!!!!!!
By Billal

LOVE

Love is shared by two or more,
Oh love is in the air,
Vows are made each and everyday,
Eyes are falling in love and lips recite poetry,
Which girls think is cute and funny!!!!!
Some men break girls beloved hearts;
And they say they are not going to,
Give them a sticky jam tart;

Which men love the best than the rest!!!!!!

The Rocbird

Found only in the marshlands surrounding The Wheatsheaf Library, this very rare bird was discoverd by The Rochdale Readers as part of the R.S.P.B.'s garden birdwatch weekend.

The Rocbird

He has one wing that goes Bling! Bling! Bling!
The other wing goes Cling! Cling! Cling!
Together they go Blicking! Clibling! Blicking!
His feathers fall out whenever he swings
(and sometimes when he sings!)
He has a yellow beak,
Whenever he speaks
It start to leak!
He has tiny little legs
Like little brown pegs.
They get in the way when he tries to hatch the eggs!

My WinterPoem

Coldness spread's throughout the world,

The wind blows on your face softly,

When you are asleep snow appears ,

When you wake up there is a soft white blanket just waiting there ,

You go outside and scream out loud and happy cheer,

Dress up warm with your hats, scarves and gloves,

And always remember that,

You don't want to catch a cold,

Or a shiver,

Dance, skate or sing,

Because you've got the chance,

And you might not get this season,

Of the year,

Or even the chance again!!!!!

The winter poem by BILLAL

Every morning when it snows,

I go and warm my toes,

After I warm my toes I go,

And eat some toast,

After I eat some toast,

I go and read the post,

I go and play the most ,

I like the snowflakes,

They tickle my noise,

Then I know it's really snow,

When it's snowing I always,

Wonder when it will snow,

I just miss the snow,

Snow, let it snow!!!!!

Word of Mouth

Word of mouth
Always travels South
Whenever you speak
You can hear a tap leak
Confidence is the word
So when writing don't get blurred
Doesn't matter if you get a smudge
Just eat chocolate fudge
Speak loud and cleared
And you'll be heared
Speak it out loud
And you'll be proud
When you think
Just make your eyes blink
Just open your eye
And eat apple pie
