Bird Poem

birds in the trees 

loving the breeze 

fluffing their feathers

in the beautiful weather 

while the hawk spies at them 

sitting on their nest 

having a rest 

protecting their chicks 

so nothing eats them  

off they fly 

to get some kai 

they have to be quick 

to get back to their chicks

drop in a worm

so their little ones eat

mother bird spreads her wings

she cover her babies

snug safe and sound

Lockdown

There’s a pandemic spreading around the world

People dying, crying, praying

In a craze

In a daze

Staying at home for all the days

Please people don’t eat bats again

Because the world will never be the same 

We can’t go out and do what we normally do

Got away from school

Working from home for me and you

Surrounded by our family

Not as cool 

As being at school

Google Hang Outs

But we’ll be back to normal without a doubt

So keep staying home and saving lives

So we’ll all win the PRIZE!!!

My Birthday

A little girl was born on April the 20th 2010 and that little girl is me!
My birthday is today April 20th 2020. 
I am turning ten today.
Unfortunately I can’t have a birthday party because we are in LOCKDOWN.
So no friends or family can come over.
I can’t go out to lunch, dinner or even a fun park.
I don’t even have a birthday present because my mum couldn’t go shopping.
She let me buy some new shoes online but they can’t come until after the lockdown.

But what I do have is my family.
My mum is making a cake, and we’re having burgers, fries and homemade kimchi for my birthday dinner.
It will be like takeaways because my mum & my sister are so good at cooking.
