Belonging - Bilston Market - a collective poem by Bilston children

                         

Bilston market, bustling and busy,

You’ll find what you want, don’t get in a tizzy!

Shoes, cool trainers, slippers and socks,

Phone cases, headphones and merch for your X-box.

Scissors, nuts, bolts and hammers,

Wrenches, hooks, screw drivers and spanners.

Smell the pizzas, waffles, burgers and fries,

Steaming teas and coffees, hot dogs and meat pies.

Bananas, apples, oranges and lemons,

Pears, grapes, plums and melons.

Spring greens, cabbages, broccoli and potatoes,

Carrots, peas and bright red tomatoes.

Cereals, cans of coke, tins of beans piled high,

Crisps, jars of sweets and chocolate bars in abundant supply.

From batteries to bird seed,

There is everything you might need,

That’s why we love Bilston Market!

Observant! Great to see children lifting their eyes from their screens !
