2,308,675 books read so far

Hello everyone!
I am pleased to announce I am back, but I also have sad news.
I am no longer in the Old Poetry and Rap Society, due to my busy life (read my blog to find out just how busy!).
This also means there is a spare space in the society. I am pretty sure the manager of the society, brilliant rapper Director Birthday-Cake Pudding-Basin, will write a message about the spare space. If not, you can consult DBCPB in the comments or in your own post.
I hope you’re all well. I missed you all!

A coals dream
By Director Birthday Cake Pudding Basin

I dreamed I could see the endless darkness
Like a wooden blanket wrapping me within
I dreamed I could feel a miners axe
Like a gnat picking my skin

I dreamed I heard the rumble
The growl of the miners creaky cart
I dreamed I felt the love of my brothers
And a spark of fire lit my heart

I dreamed I was carried through market
And taken home to spark a fierce fire
I dreamed it was heat for a loving family
And then all was quiet

Then I was back in the dark
An endless black was all I could see
All I am is a piece of coal
That has dreamed a coals dream

Oh wow, my friend
I have never heard
Something like that
It’s so superb!

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Thanks a lot!
I had to write it in school
Then I thought, let’s post it on here!
To share with you

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

This is full of thought. Totally original. It delves deeper into the realm of poetry and magic.

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Like me…

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Principal Ursula Menace

I tried my best

Good! So did I
Not many people read books
They’re more focused on their hair
Their games and their looks

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

True.

I know, right? It’s weird how
People ignore these books

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

true.

Principal Ursula Menace

Weird , right?
People should be reading these
These great books full of fun
These greats books full of great reads!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

yes!

Principal Ursula Menace

I mean, sure some books
Are quite hard to read
And sure, some books
Can be boring

But there’s always a book
Just waiting to be picked up
And a book isn’t just
Words on a page, nuh uh

It’s about the story inside
The characters feelings
Making a new friend
And then closing it, but not leaving

The smell of the pages
The feel of the cover
The pictures, the drawings!
Each of them put together

The words themselves
Are just a small part
Of what a book really is
Like one egg in Wal-Mart

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I like your poems!

Principal Ursula Menace

Thank you my friend
That’s a nice thing to say
I hope you have
A charming day

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Oh how nice! What did you read?

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

I’m glad!

Books are my favourite things because I can know about the world, history, education, knowledge and many things what we want to know about. This summer reading challenge is beneficial for readers. Reading is also efficient for children. Thanks for making this challenge.

Books truly absorb every inch of magic coming from the time and effort the author put into them. The human reading the book also soaks up all that wonder and mystery. Thank you for taking a moment to help us realise and think about this.

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Yes true.

Who is happy for World Book Day

I am one of the reading ambassadors at school and we are planning the world book day

Anonymous

Reading ambassadors?
What are they, tell me more?
We don’t have them in our school
So, what are they? What do they do?

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

reading ambassadors are people – well in our school it’s children and they:
1)choose books for the school library
2)plan reading events like World Book Day
3)help find and recommend books to their classmates
4) help people in their class if they are struggling with reading( i probably spelt struggling wrong)
and anything to do with books and reading

hope that was helpful

Books are just
Wonderful things
The words can talk

Dear friend DBCPB,

I am here and I have been here over all this time you’ve been looking for me. I have been browsing the messages, but not posting many of my own.
Sadly, there is a reason for this.
I am going to have to leave the Old Poetry and Rap Society. Even though it breaks my heart to do so, I have many things going on in my life. I will try and chat as much as possible now, but I’m afraid I will have to give up my space.
If I am able to rejoin if any spaces come up, I promise to let you know.

Your friend,
EMCC

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Well, the truth is
With this society
Is that the only people posting
Were you and me!

So it’s probably stopped now
So there’s no point you being there anyway
If it’s only you and me
Posting day to day

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

What a wonderful short handful of words,
Merged and mixed into a sculpture of greatness,
It reminded me of a sparkling day,
One I will remember, no less.

A day when we all had a future,
One glorious one, set in stone,
The day books were first written and acknowledged as magic,
Now we read them on our own.

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock
