Book preview

Shells

Speaks like the sea and shines like stars.

Sleeps on yellow landing.

Sandcastle decorations.

Beautiful reflections.

Taken away by children t

To discover striking

appearances and desires of colours.

Some are having the biggest bath

in the world along with pebbles.

Through the Seasons

Spring is here: it's far too warm.

I've got petals in my hair.

The flowers are coming, and I need some roses.

I'll eat fresh salads and drink cool beer.

A little rain is fine with me!

––––––––

Summer is here: it's far too hot.

My skin is redder than strawberries.

The sea is coming, and I need some beaches.

I'll eat ice cream and drink cold wine.

Some rain would be nice, but not on me!

––––––––

Autumn is here: it's far too dull.

Leaves are dancing everywhere.

Halloween is coming, and I need some pumpkins.

I'll eat lots of candy and drink a warm tea.

I don't want any more rain please!

Winter is here: it's way too cold.

My skin is too cold to touch.

Christmas is coming, and I need some snow.

I'll eat a turkey roast and drink hot coffee.

I hope it doesn't rain: the weather is bad enough!

Yours Truly, The Mirror

Oh, for goodness sake, 

Stop looking at me with that disgruntled face. 

You're not a supermodel, 

But you're not a grizzly ogre. 

The word ugly is banned in my presence. Hey! 

Oi! I see what you're doing. 

I know what you're planning to do. 

Don't even think about it. 

Put the razor down! 

Step away from those pills 

They're a load of rubbish.
