HAPPINESS

It tastes like ice-cream, donuts and chocolate.

Happiness sounds like children laughing,
bells ringing
and your boss announcing work is closed for the summer holidays.

It feels like clouds brushing against your cheek,
a ride on a pony, trotting on a summer’s day
and a cuddle with your husband or wife.

Happiness looks like a golden beach,
a vase of lilies
and the flowing stream of a waterfall, crashing down a cliff.

It smells like fresh home bakes, fresh clear air and sticky-toffee pudding!

Happiness is just a BIG CUDDLE!

We hope you will enjoy reading the children’s poems and stories you find here.

If you would like to send us a story or poem to feature here, then please do! You can either email it to us (with a pdf if you have done a picture to accompany it!), or send it to us by snail mail, remembering to include your  name, school and age. If we publish it on-line, we'll send you a book voucher in return!

All the stories and poems we feature will also have the chance to be included in the Funky Cherubs’ Anthology of Poems and Stories, which will be published next year, so if you want the chance to be included get writing!
