Lonely Toys

By Ngoi Yong Guo, 2M2

The night before

We were still playing

The night after

We become strangers

But memories are vivid

And we grow lonely

Swallowed by the darkness

There is no need for us to be here

Just a toy - I could not cry

I was his best friend

but now - where am I

Books are his best friends

We will sink into the recesses

Of his memory and be locked away

when the time... he passes by...

Freedom

By Hafizul, 2M3

I am a toy

I do not understand the meaning of joy

I am locked inside a cage

I want to break out in rage

Lonely without friends

Kept in the far end

Blue as a shadow

No one wants to follow

I long for freedom

But the key is out of my reach

I tried, but still I can't

I began to startle

Chocolates

By Alifah Hassenah Binte Amin (2M3)

We're on a mission,

I need 100% devotion,

Making people happy is our vision,

And Cadbury's our inspiration.

We'll make them run to the kitchen,

We assure full satisfaction.

Listen, we'll make Wonka proud of us with our vision,

He'll show us some appreciation.

As sharp as a needle,

We'll pierce through any obstacle.

As smooth as butter,

We'll improve the flavour.

Hazelnut, caramel, peppermint,

All coated with sweet cream.

It doesn't matter if they eat us shirtless or in a gown,

Because chocolates makes the world go round.

Ekphrastic poem inspired by "Sweet Delights" by Noriyah 2007
