I found this book at a second hand book stall - it is a book of poetry by young children who go to school in the East of England. All of it is good, very accessible and great to read but some of it just 'blows me away'. This one is just amazing:
THE DOOR
I crept into my secret door and saw
A promise of a rainbow with lots of different choices.
I wandered into my secret door and saw
A field spread out with a stretch of grass
And a piece of paper, a sign for paradise.
I jumped into my secret door and saw
A bowl full of overflowing food, no one would go
Hungry and a room full of yellow happiness.
I strolled into my secret door and saw
A sharp rosebush with 1000 roses that
Would bloom in two days and a day full of white fragrance.

What can I say but WOW - I hope this girl is still writing - this book was published in 1992 so she will be 26 years old now but this type of use of words can never be lost - surely?
