James & Orlaith's poetry entry

Stars are Cities at night.

Bright lights shining triumphantly.

They are kangaroos, jumping in the sky,

or ballerinas performing a dance.

They are only seen at night but are never shy,

little maps guiding the lost.

They shine eternally giving hope.

With their radiant light that is so strong we are confident,

nothing can go wrong.

By James O’hara

The stars were twinkling oh so high,

Dazzling in the dark night sky.

Oh how I wish I could join them.

I hope I’ll be able to do that soon,

to greet and dance with the children of the moon.
