GARSTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND

*
When the dog died
my neighbour felt sad.
I was upset -
brown and soft dog
jumping up me.
I will miss him.
Pepper never barked.
We'll have a kitten
called Wulfi or Midnight.
I'll protect it
from slug poison.

EMILY




*
Spiderboy on top of the Arcade.
A girl called Earthmonster
walks past the shutters.
I play on the Money Machine.
My pockets are bursting with coins.
I'm going to buy a thousand
tedddy bears
and put them in my room

??

*
Skull-shaped island.
Gypsies turn into skeltetons overnight.
Kill visitors on their discovery tour
so they will turn into skeletons
that turn into gypsies
who will kill new visitors.
But if somebody presses the button
in the golden room,
all skeletons will fall to ground
and turn back into humans
while the island will always be
the shape of a skull

*
red stones island
very, very hot
and all silent

square stones
step on them and they will blow up

Mum will wash them
and put them away

we go home to our backgarden

JACK


*
Collette is running
to the lake
on weedy grass
that feels windy.

She will dive
in clean, blue water
and find smooth sand
on the ground

A GARDEN ON THE SUN

Burning bushes.
A swimming pool full of boiling water.
Pots of chilli plants.
A barbeque of peppers on fire.

NICHOLAS LEE BURKE



*
The moon is light in the middle
of the night
in my room
I look out of my window
red rover
there is sugar all over the street

A DOG'S GARDEN

I dig up mud and get my bone.
I find stones
and bits of fences,
rubber balls,
sticks,
broken glass -
but I don't find my bone.

CULLUM BRODIE




ROALD DAHL'S GARDEN

He would have a big garden.
He has a shed at the bottom of the garden.
The shed is in the quiet place
so that he can write his books.
The witch hides behind the shed.
He has a blue and pink swing -
it would be for the children.
He has an apple tree.
He has a water fountain.
It has foam coming out of it.
He has a toy popping up and down
in the pond.
