I used to write poems for fun but of late, I find that when I am upset about something, my hand finds a pencil and a poem emerges. Sometimes I write about what’s upsetting me, but other times, I just write down whatever comes into my mind. Below is a sample of what I have written.
When mummy
When mummy is tough
My life becomes rough
I want to be good
Not hide in a hood
When mummy’s not tough
We have a good laugh
I don’t want to stop
I’ll laugh till I drop

My mum
My mum, in a sum
Can be so full of fun
As bright as the sun
With time for everyone
My mum, in a sum
Can so angry become
As loud as a drum
When I’ve done something dumb
My mum, in a sum
Can be so overcome
As sweet as blue gum
There’s really no rule of thumb
