Well, as this week is national anti-bullying week, I thought I would show my support by doing a couple of anti-bullying themed posts!
Today I have two poems for you...
Shame
There's a girl at school
we teased today;
made jokes, called her names.
My friends all laughed,
called it harmless fun,
said it was just a game.
Now I'm at home
feeling horrid inside,
long gone that thoughtless grin.
How will I face her
tomorrow at school?
I wish I hadn't joined in.

This one takes a more light-hearted approach...
Name-calling
They called me frog face with ears like a bat.
I said, "I'm not - I'm worse than that."
They called me rat-nose with a tongue like a shoe.
I said, "Is that the best you can do?"
They called me mouse-eyes, skunk-breath, dog-head.
I said, "I'm worse than all that you've said."
They said, "It's no fun calling you a name."
I called, "That's a pity - I'm enjoying this game."
