Mr. Byrne’s Class recently had a poetry competition for Anti-Bulling Week. There were some fantastic poems and here are a few samples:
The Bully!
You’re the only one that does by bullying me,
But let me tell you something, you can test my
resistance
You won’t break my barriers,
I’m way to persistentMy demon, your glass like eyes hunt me day and night
You’re a long sharp shadow that dwells in my brain
You’re never out of the picture,
You’re always in my sight
Your taunts are like spears that pierce my heart.
Dear bully, now let’s discuss your behaviour,
I’ll never let you win
I’m my own fighter and my own saviour.
So dear bully for your own good, you better STOP.
Poem by Siri
I stand in the playground all on my own
That’s when the bully comes and he’s not alone
Him and his friends their faces with glee
For they love creating nightmares for me
They kick, tease, hit and sneer
After that they just laugh and jeer
They don’t know how horrible I feel
But I know that my pain is real
Just then another boy came and rescued me
Now from the bullies I’ am free
The other boy stood up and put the bullying to an end
And now he is my very best friend
