Power of the pen

Almost all Hull school children write poems as part of their education – and here are a few samples ahead of World Poetry day on March 21

Eyes are for granted,
by Jake Kemp, year 8

Colours I can think of but not to that I see.
The white to me is like the wind blowing in my face.
Purple is the sweet ripple of water.
Green is the roughness of the bark on a tree.
Brown is for my dog its fur soft and warm.
Orange is for love; the love within me but that is what no one can see.
Funny isn't it because I'm blind.

What is Love?
by Matthew Satchell, age 14

What on earth is love?

Why do we love each other so?
It cannot be helped
Some say love is beauty
Some say love is in the mind
Others say love is from space
But most say love is as grand as life
So could it be love is life?
What can this feeling be?
It is indescribable
What is this feeling?
It is love
I have felt it before
I have a feeling I will feel it evermore
But nothing hurts like love that will fail
It hurts like death in the form of hail
So in the end love is a mystery
But can it be solved by me?

Life
– by Scott Holiday, year 9

Little boys become men
In the years ahead,
Forgetting about
Everything they have learnt.
