I’m Rocky. It’s hard to feel sad when everyone else is happy around you? Even if you are me. My life wasn’t the easiest it had ups and downs – more downs than ups -but I got here in the end. On my unicycle. I always wanted to be an entertainer. Everyone else told me I wouldn’t do it, I was useless. But I did.
It all started when I was 10. When my Maths teacher told me I was rubbish. Never liked her! From then on I knew I wanted to make other people happy, because I was sad, and now I’m living the dream. With content, laughing children surrounding me like the sea surrounds an island. I can believe that I make a difference. I’m not rubbish or useless and I CAN DO IT, no matter what anyone says – teacher or not.
I now live for the joy on children’s faces, their happy smiles and charming ways. And all because I am only happy when those around me are.

Tall ships galore in the port of Falmouth,
people climbing up and up
the salty rigging,
hanging from the sails.
And cheering people standing at the quay,
waving flags as the soft breeze blows in their faces.
Purple boats that are the Tall ships,
sprays the boat with salty water.
Just as the clock strikes 12 the fireworks explode,
the accordion player starts to join in,
the vibration of the accordion I’ve never seen that before.
I think the Accordion just gives it that one bit more.
It wakes the cats the dogs and birds,
sniffing and looking for left over crumbs,
pasties, sandwiches what ever is around.
Little children wondering,
thinking what it must be like,
standing on the masts singing songs
and where will the wind take them ?
What will it bring?
