The Spell

26/5/2022

THE SPELL
Watch out for the witch who is standing nearby
with wand at the ready! Make sure you don’t try

to stop and to chat. She does not like this.
She’s not very friendly so give it a miss.

If you catch her eye be sure to run fast
or else upon you a spell she will cast

I made the mistake of saving a bug.
So what did she do? Turned me into a pug!

That’s not the worst thing as pugs are quite cute,
The worst thing is now I’m short and hirsute!

Autumn Leaves

Big leaf, small leaf
Green leaf, brown leaf
Red leaf, yellow leaf
So many leaves

Cat shaped, dog shaped
Bird shaped, fish shaped
Mouse shaped, house shaped
So many leaves

Pile high, jump in
Pile low, jump out
Throw up, throw down
So many leaves

Wind blows, leaves fall
Rain comes, leaf puddles
Sun’s out, leaves sparkle
Autumn is here.

Seven Small Letters

Seven small letters is all that you need
to IMAGINE new things, to plant a new seed.

IMAGINE you’ve climbed to the top of a tree
and see a horizon as wide as can be.

IMAGINE you are a dragon or bird
or sitting on top of a star. How absurd!

IMAGINE a day with rain or with snow
and when they are done out comes a rainbow.

IMAGINE adventure upon the high seas
with treasure and pirates with knobbly knees.

IMAGINE you’re now tucked up safe in your bed
and those seven letters spell DREAMER instead.
