I Hear Music...All Year 'Round
by Aleisha Elliott
Crafers West, SA

I hear music, I hear sounds,
I see patterns, all year 'round!
I hear music in the rain,
Tip top tip top tip top toe .....
Splash in the puddles, off I go.
Even rainbows have their songs,
Lardy dardy all day long.
And when autumn leaves hit the ground like drums.
songs come out to play,
Sing and dance every day.
When I'm cooking I make music,
Licking, slicking, spooney music.
My puppet's singing in the rain
Cutey cutey feels no pain.
I hear music, I hear sounds,
I see patterns all year 'round!

Second Prize

Journey to Space
by Beatriz Herrera
Sacred Heart School, Booval, Qld

I'm waiting here at a space station,
To board a spaceship called Imagination,
To get there you must close your eyes
For the greatest journey of your lives.

So hold on tight because
We are in outer space now
Our rocket soars, so fast and free,
Right up through the galaxy!

We pass spinning spaceships flown from Mars,
We see black holes and shooting stars!
Look! Asteroids and comets blazing ....
Our universe is so amazing!

Hold on tight as we zoom pass Neptune
And prepare to land on-can you guess?
THE MOON!

I see Aliens when I land
Having fun and shaking hands.
Some begin to sing
While others ride on the swing.

"Welcome earthling!" They smile and say.
"We're pleased to meet you! Can you stay?"
I tell them no, I must go home soon
Because I'm sure I'll come back to the moon!

And so here our journey ends
Open our eyes and savour the dreams
For if we shut them again
I'm sure our journey will never end!

Third Prize

Spring
by Harper Barton
Hilton, WA

The butterflies are flittering
And the grass is soft
The flowers are out
The air is blue
And everywhere you step
You feel as light as a feather.

Highly Commended

Fairybread
by Rachel Ross
Raceview State School, Raceview, Qld

I hear something coming
Little Fairybreads jumping ...
Inside my mouth.
It's party time in my mouth.

They slide down my throat
They think it is fun.

Fairybread soft and yummy
Dancing Fairybread music in my tummy.
Colourful, colourful
Party time in my tummy.
