Poetry

Childhood is waking up in the morning and watching Hi5

Childhood is cuddling your blanket at night and watching a glitter lamp. Childhood is imagining that the backyard is a big jungle and playing kittens.

Childhood is putting training wheels on your brand new bike and making sand castles with your friends.

Childhood is thinking that sea anemones are going to bite your finger and watching Shortland Street with your Mum.

Childhood is having tea parties with your stuffed animals and going to sleep in the car.

Childhood finally ends when you start to grow up and when you no longer need a car seat.

By Holly

Childhood is waking up on early on Christmas day to open presents and crying over a scraped knee.

Childhood is dreaming of being an adult when you can finally beat-up your big brother.

Childhood is watching ‘Bob the Builder’ and punching your little brother over the TV remote.

Childhood is spelling words rong and fighting for no reason.

Childhood is dreaming of being an able to drive to drive and purposely chewing on family members.

Childhood finally ends, when you stop watching Telly Tubbies.

_{Child hood is soft toys and blankets you can’t part with.}

_{Childhood is getting everything you want and playing games.}

_{Childhood is not wanting to go to bed and imaginary friends.}

_{Childhood is sticking your fingers into sea anemones and trying to pull your finger out again.}

_{Childhood is needing a night light and thinking there is monsters under your bed.}

_{Childhood is licking the bowl after Grandma does the baking and play dough.}

_{Childhood finally ends when you no longer need a night light.}
