C B Ross

Genre: Imaginative

C B Ross is, amazingly, just ten years old. She has one of the most fertile imaginations I have ever come across and she uses it to great effect in her  every day life. Relatively new to writing she is producing work with stunning imagery and I sincerely hope that she continues to write and to share her talent with us.


Below is C B Ross's latest work "HMS Titanic"

HMS Titanic, by CB Ross (age 10)

The people wonder weird things
but pay no notice to the royalty that sits under them.
Atop on the deck was a view no-one could forget
as it was a first -
It would last forever.

Her Highness glided along the blue sea
feeling happy because of her victory:
this prize wasn't much but to her,
it was like golden dust,
the feeling of peoples' safety no longer at mind -
Since she'd been called unsinkable
she was driving blind.

The lonely iceberg took its chance
and slaughtered the Titanic in a glance.
She had bounty that no money could buy
and a gap no repairs could fill
because it was lives of innocent people that were killed.

The passengers make their graves at the dining table,
the gruesome loss
that people perished on that date:
The Titanic's arms don't follow far behind
as she didn't have the time
to think about the tragedy of the depths of the blue sea.
She never meant to take it under her wing!
