Christmas Poetry

Our FCC Key Stage 3 Poetry Club has been creating fantastic Christmas poetry and two of our poets wanted to share their poems with the rest of our community:

Caitlin McIntosh (8E)
Carols and bells fill my ears
Joy, laughs, the sound of cheers
Snow falls all winter long
Dancing along to a beautiful song
Friends and family gather round
Their jubilation shakes the ground
Presents hide underneath the tree
Children question what they could be
A toy? A pen? A book? A ball?
In the tree a bird does call
Beautiful firs draped in lights
Tourists admire glorious sights
Christmas dinner ends off the day
Glimmering lights suddenly fade away…

Rosie Lyne (8G)
Fingers blades of ice
Cutting through the gloves
Who cannot save them now
Help! Help!

My brain a snow mush,
my scarf a shield,
rushing of wind
like arrows in a battle

Blue spreads across my skin
like the sea eating the shore
I shiver violently
From my fingers to my toes

Carols ring long into the night
snow flutters down
like butterflies
The church bells ring for Christmas 

Along with the church bells 
A familiar call, a familiar sleigh
Ho! Ho! Ho!
A once in a lifetime experience

Share!
