After some of her work was missed in a couple of recent blogs, I have been promising Pearl a little post to celebrate her lost (and now found) creative writing. There is also a joint poem by pearl and Safir from our Easter session. Enjoy!
Flash Fiction - by Pearl
The clockwork figure got closer. The ticking and whirring noises grew louder. An elaborately designed, serrated dagger, with the initials KL on it, pierced through Ingrid’s book. She recoiled in horror; it was too late - the machinery had cornered her. Covered in glistening red, the sword withdrew. Everything went silent…
Easter Bunny Poem - by Pearl and Safir
The devilish bush stood in the dark corner
Its leaves were grey and silver
It's gnarly branches twisted and turned
ready to pound with its arrow like leaves
Each one poisonous to the touch
And sharper than a knife's blade
The leaves can be ground to make easter egg packaging
which is why the Bunny craves it so much
containing the chocolate like twigs
It stands big and tall
standing in stealth
Standing in death
The Sky
-By Pearl
The sky
Is where birds fly
Big and blue
Looking down at you
Caressing the world
Whilst the clouds are being twirled
The creator of lightning and thunder
A terrifying wonder
Able to create storms
That can take several shapes and forms
Yet beautiful on a hot summer’s day
Encouraging children to come outside and play
And ever so bright
Like an everlasting light
And not to forget
It's home to the sunrise and sunset
The sky
Is where birds fly
Shaping our landscape
Acting as a big blue drape
