Students from North Kelvinside school wrote some beautiful poetry to celebrate the opening of our peace garden last summer. Thank you to all the young poets for their beautiful words and ideas.
Peace poem
by Lucian & Victoria
When the Spring flowers bloom
The calm wind blows
The sun shines down
and I find my peace
Peace haiku

Each a wish for peace
Each one a hope for no war
Peace in every crease
Peace tanka

Lives lost in the storm
Roaming through the fields of death
I think about you
Whenever a flower blooms
May peace be with you, Japan
Peace tanka
by Adam
Peace lightens the heart
It is a symbol of hope
Melting the anger
Happiness begins to grow
Making the world whole again
Peace haiku

Glowing lanterns float
Folding cranes for peace one by one
Close your eyes and pray
Peace tanka

As the wars wither
The ginko buds start to grow
A symbol of hope
One that shall stand forever
In your shad we can find peace
Peace tanka

Peace is a flower
Shining despite the darkness
Delicate but strong
Overcoming the evil
Bringing joy and happiness

My mind will wander
Through the possibilities
Peace is all I want

Silent ocean waves
Reflecting below the sky
Glistening under the sun

Cherry blossoms grow
With love, nurture and hope
Ginkos lovely blow

Wind blows through the trees
Blossoms seen as a sign of peace
Dream of a world that heals
