​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!

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.

WORDS
​Words, words, words!
They’re in the air, they’re everywhere
In a book on a page,
on a sign on the stage.
Falling up, falling down,
in my head spinning ‘round.
My mind is full of wondrous things,
of lovely, weird imaginings.
As I walk the words flow through
and I write them in my notebook blue.
So many tales to tell and share
with dragons, frogs and cranky bears!
When story’s done there’s many more
because the world has words galore!
