Object Poems

I reach out for her,

so squishy and small.

My keeper of secrets,

at nightfall.

I cuddle her close,

as night closes in. 

We are together,

as my dreams begin.

I breathe in her scent,

as thoughts come and go.

Where will my slumber take me? 
I don’t know.

She comforts me,

as my fears fade away,

I let her know I’ve missed her,

today.

My bedtime buddy,

Miffy.

My Blankey

Soft, fluffy, huggable, warm

Even though it’s a little torn

Wrapped around me in the night

My white blankey makes me sleep right

Bun Bun

Soft, Furry

Reminding me of birthdays

Sharing girly gossip

Sleeping without a sound

Camping out in the caravan

Having fun on Fridays

Hilarious times on holidays

Snuggling up in bed

Nearly midnight

Fast asleep

Written by Amy 

My snuggly croc has always kept me ripe.

She has never left my side.

When I have nightmares

she scares them all away.

If someone tries to steal Crocy       

I will keep her safe.

She has never let me down 

and she never will.

Written by Fred

Piano

Tingling keys go up and down

Notes playing fast and slow

Treble and bass using the moves

Pedals going up and down to make the noise

Hop off the piano tuck in the chair 

wait till the next day that is coming near

Written by Georgia

My diary
My dairy is special

Reports about each day

Brings back memories 

when I go out to play

When the pages run out 

it will never be the same

I love my dairy

Written by Georgia

Soft spongy soundless

cuddling up with me.

    Sitting watching me

growing and growing.

       Sharkey, my teddy.

Written by Henry

Coloured pens.

The key to creativity,

The tool of art,

The riot of colour,

With infinite possibilities.

Draw a car,

A tiger, a house.

So many colours and pictures,

To draw or choose!

With YOUR imagination,

With YOUR choice.

It’s impossible,

To run out of ideas,

With coloured pens.

Photo Album

Lots of photos

Looking,laughing,smiling

Memories in your mind

Book

Written by Lillie

When I go to bed

I reach out to him.

We cuddle up close

helping my dreams come in.

When we can’t sleep

we talk and talk

until we sleep.

He watches out for me

while I dream.

My night time hero…

Doo Doo.
