Desire


I look from afar
unattainable
unavailable
inaccessible

I look in awe
amazement
wonderment
admiration

I imagine
envisage
make believe
fantasize

I wish
yearn
long
crave

I desire
I desire
I desire
I desire

Pirates!


‘Let’s play pirates’ said John to Jack
‘Let’s pretend the garden's an island.
Let’s look for treasure,there’s bound to be some.
Let’s get a spade and a sack’

'Twelve steps forward and two steps right.
Look for a bush and hide'.
‘We have to be quiet,don’t make a noise.
Look out for something that's bright’.

‘Watch out - a tiger’ says Jack to John
Cat stops and stares then walks off‘
I see a parrot there in the hedge’
A gull flapped its wings and was gone.

Crawling round on their hands and their knees
They look for a probable spot
‘This is the placeI know that it is’
Hidden by bushes and trees.

They made a big hole, and burrowed and dug
And pulled out the stuff that they found.
Rusty old nails
A bit of a plate
A handle that fell off a mug.

‘When dad sees this mess he won’t be pleased.
He’ll make us walk the plank.
‘cos yesterday he planted seeds
and now we’ve dug them up!
