Dear Currambena
We tried to write a collaborative poem called “We are” inspired by our
buddies’ beautiful poems. It was tricky! Here is preschool’s version
of “I am”
We are
We are all of us, hello
We wonder if sometimes there will be an earthquake
We hear cars zooming by, the sound of shouting kids
We want the treehouse we’re building to have a slide to slide down
We are all of us, hello
We pretend we can be princesses and cats
We feel lonely for a cuddle from our mums
We touch our mum’s hands when we say goodbye
We cry when our mums won’t do what we want them to
We are all of us, hello
We understand when people yell at us, but we don’t feel very welcome
in this world
We say we want to have a go
We dream of monster trucks and Barbies
We try to climb the cubby house roof, but we can’t
We hope…
We are all of us, hello
Charlie, Alex, Grace, Joe O’ Shea, Poppy, Sienna, Honey, Xanthe (and a
few more)
