Dangerous Dancing

By Lillie F – Year 9

 

When will you find something, you can stick with?

A trend that is safe for all

Cus now so many people have no lives to live

So many people - small and tall -

Have nothing left to give

 

All because of your dangerous dancing

 

Prancing around on busy streets

Not caring about your fate

By the time you change it might just be too late

 

All because of the sound of the clock (tic tok)

 

So please let this be a warning

Cus so many people are now in mourning

So now let’s change, what can still be fixed

Before the tick tock of the clock runs out

 

And there will be no more just dancing

Only your dangerous dancing

 

 

Covid by Hattie H Year 8

 

Dark clouds surround the world.

Silently spreading its deadly virus.

The name unknown to the name well known:

Corona virus.

Children sent home, schoolbooks in hand.

Lock down happened.

Toilet paper shortages and panic buying on essential travel trips.

Staying 2 meters apart for our safety.

Hands, face, space.

The words floating in the air, a new language.

Zoom calls to once familiar faces.

Sharing newly found baking skills with strangers on the internet.

Boredom.

Rainbows in the windows for the heroes.

Bubbles formed to help one another.

Lateral flow tests, just in case.

All to help us get out of this place.

Vaccines were developed, boosters came next.

Going down in priorities.

The world breathed a fresh new air.
