Some dreams are good
Others are bad
While you are sleeping
They drift through your head
You do not have any when you are dead.
Only giants can hear them
They're soft humming sound
When I have a bad dream
I wake up with a pound.
Dream Clouds are all over
But they are impossible to see
Only Ghosts can hear them
And maybe the banshee.

You have to be ordinary and friendly,
And different to be alive,
You have to know magic to be alive,
Some people are soft some are strong,
Some are long,
Some are soft,
Some go to sleep some say beep , beep.
The earth was friendly,
It was magic.
But now it is just tragic.
Crime is enormous,
Only a fraction of earth is marvellous.
We remember our fathers,
who fought,
But then comes a thought.
Was it really for the best for me and all the rest?
We live in a world gone bad,
It is so sad.
God made us to protect Mother Earth,
But we treat her like dirt!
Some people live underground,
And poverty has not gone down.
We are now wheelbarrows that have lost
Their wheels,
Only when those wheels come back on we will then go on.
Struggle has caught us by the throat : will we be doomed to
CROAK!

Spring
St. Brigid's day is in the air
Daffodils growing everywhere,
In the glen crocuses yellow,white and purple
Carpet the forest floor,
Down by the river the snow is melting
Mallard ducks are laying their eggs,
Up in the trees the birds are twittering
Busily building their nests of twigs,
In the fields lambs are born
Gaily hopping and skipping around,
Spring is my favourite time of year
So give three cheers for spring is here.
Niamh
Spring has sprung
Oh what fun it is to see-
The bird a hopping in the tree
Or see the robin with his breast so red
Seeking food maybe bread!
Spring is fun, spring is neat, spring is
Great, springs the beat!
Spring is lovely, spring is rosey,
Spring makes my hair all curly!
By Karen
Spring Spring is the time to
Sing as bees fly about.
Swing like a King so high
Try to touch the sky.
Birds fly in herds in the sky.
What would it be like to be
A bird and have wings?
To be A duck and have to swim all
Day ? Oh no!
To be food and people cut you.
I want to be set free and just be
Me.
Not to fly in sky.
Not to crawl on the ground
Just to be myself.
Don't want to be a cat or to be
A rat not even a bat.
To live in a tower.
Don't want to be a cow and
Have to eat grass.
OH NO! I JUST WANT TO BE ME!
I always wonder how the
Birds can fly across that
Beautiful sky.
I always wonder why
The sea is blue, don't you?
I wonder me how the mountains
Grow so high.
And how far to the stars and why
People can't fly
I wonder will I do all the things that
I wanted to do
I always wonder why the
World is round.
And how we stay on the ground
