First Story’s annual celebration of creative writing is on 23 June, 2021.
Grandma
I miss the way you
let me style your hair,
even though it
would look awful.
I miss the way you
shouted at me for
making patterns on
the stairs with cupcake cases
or when I would
make a mess in the kitchen
whilst ‘helping’
you bake something sweet.
I miss when my
parents would be annoyed with you
for spoiling me
with random things
I never needed.
Connection keeps you in contact.
Open your heart
Never be afraid,
Near me.
Enough is enough!
Can we refresh?
Time to connect.
By Imogen
Locked inside,
feeling like I’m trapped in a cage.
Connecting with
friends online wondering when I’ll see them again.
Talking to
teachers behind a screen thinking ‘When will I be free?’
Seeing my friends
from a distance again was the reason I smiled again.
Connecting with
others online was never the same.

Come to them to
have fun
Online or face to
face stuff
Never do the wrong
Never doubt yourself
Every day is fun
with you
Cool things we do together
Time flies by with
you.
By Xander
No matter where
you are, be connected
No matter who you
are, be connected
No matter what is happening,
be connected
No matter:
Be connected.
