A Tent of Birds

As ma thoughts scowpall ben ma brain
ah sit in silence an wunner
o fit have faad inta this blunder
o fit it aa gid wrang

Sat in a tent
nae a soond tae be heard
Until the rustling yokit
The words ach nae ran aa ben ma heid

Squawking and squeaking,
an jumping an skirling jis like little birds
ah tried tae droon tham oot
Yet they were aa ah cwid hear

In the morn ah wis telt
The stories o the nicht
The story o a tent
Ma tent

A Tent fu o Birds

My Ballad
I toasted ma bread and then I turned red as I burnt it.
Sae, I Haen a bourie bar and then I went in the caur towards rugby in inverness.
I’m feeling yaldi I got to the pitch I warmed up and trained
The game ended 14-39. I was braw then we got back in the changing rooms and the coach announced MOTM for the game and I was runner up for it.
I got back hame and played with my kittlen
And then I went in the Shour.
For bealin I had spag bol.
I then went to wabbit after watching a movie.

Ballad

I dae a sport,
It’s caad judo,
I go every Freyday night,
At quarter past eight,
Till 10 O’clock.
We start wi a warmup,
Then we stretch,
After that we split into oor groups,
We practice for gradings.
Once we’re dane practicing,
We start doing randori,
Randori is friendly fighting.

At the end we putten the mats away,
Max and I get picked up,
I then get dropped aff,
My dad waits up to let me in,
I go to my room and wait till noon.

School – Ballad

I don’t know whether I hate school or not,
I sit in the classroom without a thought.

As the teacher rambles on,
I just wish the day had gone.

School is what I imagine prison is like,
Long hours and big fights.

Getting up at 7 in the morning,
Just to sit there and do work.

I hate school!

I enjoy seeing my friends,
Laughing until break ends.

Maybe schoolisn’t that bad after all.

I still don’t know whether I hate school or not,
I just wish the day would bef over a lot.

Feeling alane
Guitar strings moving

Ballad
The things that bring me joy is meeting with my pals. When ur inside everything’s dull and boring. Since you dinna ken fit ti do.
But as soon as you step foot outside you get a feel of joy as you start heading to your pals.
Once your with them you can hae fun and make memories. But whilst your indoor you ken that you winna do anything big that You’ll remember

Ballad- my phone
My phone is very dear to me
And is a bonnie artifact
because it holds lots of stuff
that I have done.
The photos that I have taken
hold so mony memories from being out with
friends and doing fun things.
I can keep them until they
are worth nothing to me.
My phone brings me joy when
I am feeling down,
my phone gives me something to do
when I have hee haw to do.

Camping in winter

Fireplace crackling, kettle brewing, these are the things I call soothing
Dew glazed across the grass ready to creep up the glass
Birds chirping in the winter sna, singing gracefully whilst daffodils dance in the meadow

A cosy little hoose upon a hill, fit reminds of the one in Jack and Jill.
A small well covered in leaves, climbing trees filled with children, with muddy knees

When the sun goes doon, the moon appears with subtle tar thon shed some tears
Owls glide across the sky, with delicate glimpses inside their eyes

They has now come to an end
No more fires and bug bites
Oh I miss the bonnie campsite

MY BALLAD

Once when I made me porridge in ma kitchen I left the pan handle over the counter “by accident” and me dug jumped up on the counter and hit the handle causing it to fall to the floor and spill everywhere which sucks because me porridge was almost done but what sucks more is that I had to clean it up and make it again.

The day I got sand in me eye and I had to go to haspital and get me eye rinsed oot with water and then they put blue and yellow dye aroond me eye and then they said I was good to ga and I got a certificate for being good because I was only a sma loon at the time at happened

One time I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and I was really scared because there was a sma creaking noise that soonded far awa but close enough for me to hear and then there was a weird clapping soond ootside which really creeped me oot and I couldn’t go back to sleep even after the noises stopped.


‘I hate school,’ I say it without a second thought. Every time I arrive it just makes me want to go back home.
‘I love being home though,’ I can say it with a smile on my face. Every time I stay home, I feel relaxed.
School fills me with worries and stress while being at home lets me feel warm and happy.
Being at home gives me endless entertainment while school gets me bored and tired.
I see my friends at school and get to talk with them, but I much rather talk to them through the phone.
Don’t get me wrong, I know I need my education. But I can’t help to hate learning.


I am a musician
I saoil what its like to be famous sometimes
I hear the sound of rock n roll ceol

I see hundreds of guitars
I want to spel guitar all day
I am a musician

I pretend to spelif front of people some day
I feel yaldi
I touch my guitar and all my feelings and wores go away
I worry iwont be able to spel
I cry when im away from my guitar
I am a musician

I understand the musical ways
I say iwont stop playing
i dream about playing
I try to spel drums but its not as fun
I hope it never breaks
I am a musician
