Best Junior Poems

Fred The Hawk and his wife were most frightening to behold.
No one got away from them; they were in a class so very bold.
They had Fred Junior, most frightening, first time he was around.
But he was something quite unique, it was soon abruptly found.

With one...

Junior school

Years gone by and we are all still fools 
For the silly things we laughed at school
Farting and burping and breaking the rules
Making large bubble gum circles whilst swimming in the local pool
Playing tennis in the summer because Wimbledon was cool
Weekends on muddy pitches...

Morning assembly
Classroom hell
Couldn't count couldn't spel
School books and fountain pens
Playing in the playground with all my friends
Gobstoppers and chewing gum
Plastic sandals boys shorts to hide your bum
Wax crayons and powder paint
Rembrandt I never was and still an't
Sweets and comics hidden in desk
Pulling the girls pigtails
Playing...

Doctor Martin Luther King Junior
a black man from Atlanta, Georgia.
An activist and visionary 
he spoke against racial injustice.

This Nobel Prize-winning man of peace
preached tolerance and non-violence.
Challenging bigotries and hatred
he marched against discrimination.

He struck a match against ignorance,
lighting liberty's torch for freedom.
And boldly opposed segregation,
standing up...

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When innocent dies,
Whole universe cries,
Even of dear earth,
We can hear, outcries,
But selfish human being,
Never even sighs.

Jeez - how much mess can a
jovial toddler make!
Jello is smeared on his
jubilant face, and grape
juice drips from the highchair!
Just like his daddy, his
jaded granny recalls!

Harry Connick, Junior

Should have been there sooner

American Idol’s ratings had been tanking

But now on his humor they’re banking

Junior Jungle

Today! At South Bank!
My girl is dancing!
Her arms; tentacles of an octopus.
To the tunes of my youth:
Jungle music.
At the background men and
Women in animal costumes:
Still young at heart.
So I waited eighteen years
For my first jungle gig.
Drenched in sweat
Energised by the thrill of the raw...

Here in far off Borneo, junior squash players are gathered in numbers...
Young and energetic, these are Malaysia's young hopefuls and contenders...

In the numbing heat within this immense hall, the muted thuds of hard hit balls...
Interrupt the cacophony of low conversations permeating through this hall...

Spectators, mostly...

Beautiful dreamer come to me
With your eyes help me to see

Take my world and turn it 'round
Speak to me without a sound

Soul to soul we find such bliss
I'll drink the nectar of your kiss

The pain I feel's when we're apart
It wrenches me deep in my...

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - I)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting bougainvillea background.

Civil, clever clover chomping, cheap
chipper cool cutthroat clueless clodhopper,
chafed...

Beautiful baby boy.
They were welcomed home by
Damian's friends Sébastien 
Shakespeare Malcolm Justin 
And Shannon.  Delilah came
down stairs to Present Damian 
Junior.  As Damian took him
From Delilah arms, 
His...

The swinging sixties never swung
As much as people said
But for me, the bands
And the songs they sung
Linger on inside my head

I rocked and rolled to Morningtown
On a wagon with one wheel
And followed tracks 
That took me down 
To fields that felt surreal

A jungle snake both...
