This is my friend Stormy,s son and his wonderful poetry


This is my friend Stormy,s son and his wonderful poetry :::





I wanted to share my eldest son's poetry (he is 12 years old now) because I really think he is talented at it... they are all different types of poems that he has learnt to write at school and influenced by other peoples styles of writing although they are in his own words...

A nonsense monster poem (influenced by the Chickamungus poem):

Pea-a wea
by Lewis
In the shire of Keya-dear,
Lives the unknown Pea-a wea.
It sleeps on sticks and stones,
In his cave with bones.
He also lives with a bongorongo,
A common sight in koodongo.
He flies in special wingaraang shapes,
And can only be stopped with sticky tape.
His best friend is Bill Odie,
Unfortunately, the Pea-a-wea is too big to see the whole of Bill’s body
During ring-a ranga moment, he goes to eat some berries,
Bungarung berries, which make him very merry.
It smells like a pungydunger,
Which smells so bad you will want to go down under.
He is as tall as a skyscraper,
He also likes the game Snake-a-Taper.
It’s young are pea weas but can be mistaken,
For young boddy-kistakens.
It makes a sound like a mellow bellow,
During that time it turns slightly yellow.
It tastes like your dad’s pants,
Yes the one with ants!
Many people have seen it and made a claim,
But never rose to fame.
Now we must leave the pea-a-wea,
Sleeping in his cave, in keya-dear.                        

A sound and movement poem:

Earth
 By Lewis
 The Earth very strong,
Rotates around the sun all day long.
Spinning and circling,
Orbiting and working.
It’s axis and equator headstrong.
Rising and hiding,
Sliding and riding,
Spewing and viewing,
Running across the stars.

Moaning of the aching land,
Can be soothed by a gentle hand.
The land dividing,
Birds gliding.
All on gentle Earth.

The Earth rushing and brushing,
Darting and parting,
It awakes and sleeps,
It cries and weeps.
As the Earth spins around the sun, the planets, sun, asteroids belts, and stars make our galaxy one.


The Element of Earth
By Lewis
The element of earth is a powerful element, controlling the ground of our planet.
It gives us rock, stone, leaves and twigs, the materials of earth helping us make hats and wigs.
It gives us something to stand on, something to feel beneath our feet.
Something living,
Something growing.
If there was no earth, we would be pulled to the flaming core.
Falling,
Falling far.
This is the only planet supporting life so far, us human beings can build houses and cars.
Earth forms cliffs, mountains and canyons, earth can also form landscapes, hills and valleys.
We roam the lands of earth, of earth we have received,
There are many things on earth that we can achieve.
To form a living planet you only need four elements.
Fire, Water, Air and don’t forget Earth.


A hiding poem:

The Screeching, Stalling Spaceship
By Lewis
Up in a screeching, stalling spaceship,
Deep in space looking at the pretty, peering planets,
Deep in space looking at the shining, showing stars,
Deep in space riding on a rocking, rolling rocket,
Deep in space looking at the sucking, silent space,
Deep in space looking at the cooling, crumbling comets,
Deep in space looking at the massive, moribund meteors,
Deep in space looking at the neglected, natural nebulas,
Deep in space looking at the curving, conspicuous, constellations.
Deep in space looking at the gangling, gigantic, galaxies.
I lay here in the storage compartment,
What a wonderful sight it is!


What is Black?
by Lewis
Black is a crow,
Looking down below.
And the root of poison,
Slipping down the alley.
It is the night of the new moon,
It is the empty space of the universe.
Black is a consuming, corrupted soul,
Of those who are black hearted in their veins.
The stench of death is black,
But then death is black.
Black is unseen as camouflage colour,
But can be seen as another.
Black is the sound of a dead man coughing.
Black is Nothing,
Nothing is Black.
You can smell the rotting of black,
In the alley, at the back.

Andy the Daft Hermit lives 45 minutes outside Inverness with his wife Mel in an old bus parked in a layby. This current home of theirs is the longest they have ever stayed in one spot. “I’ve been travelling now 25 years,” said Andy Lowe. “Mel’s been travelling 15. One of the reasons we’ve come and stayed up here is because of Mel’s health. I wanted to bring her to the mountains for fresh air and clean water and just a slower pace of life.” Mel has had breast cancer twice, skin cancer once, and for three years believed she had bone cancer after being wrongly diagnosed. Andy’s belief in the restorative powers of the north made them pack up ‘The Black Bus’ that they live in and cross the border into Scotland. New Highland home for hermit couple Andy and Mel “I think we both believe in trying to get to a more simple way of life,” said Andy, “but it’s strange for us because we are sort of hermits, or we like to live separate, but it’s not being anti-social… it’s just the way we are that allows us to be creative.” Andy first began travelling when he left the army. Fed up with bureaucracy he packed a rucksack and left for France and has been travelling ever since. By investing any money the couple have earned into solar panels and wind generators they now live a self-sustaining existence, without electric bills, and collect rain water “straight from Heaven”. “It’s not easy,” said Mel. “There might be time when there might not be enough facilities around, but you always find a way, you know?” Rather than rejecting technology, Andy blogs about his travels online and collaborates with artists from around the world via his ‘Scratchy Heid Film Studio’, which he runs from a static trailer next to the couple’s bus. He explained his philosophy: “My belief is that if you can go through life and you drop dead and you’ve got a balance there that slightly outweighs the good than the bad, you’ve done alright. “Yesterday, with what Mel’s been through with the cancer and all that, I had a woman on one of my sites there that thanked me for the writing, for the positive things, and to me that’s worth everything. You can keep your millions, we’re not interested. That is what we do.” To check out Andy’s artwork and video projects check out his website. MORE FROM THE NORTH
