Can you solve the riddle in the new personification poem - Nightmare On Toast - @ps4k.com?

Nightmare on Toast - the new riddle and personification poem at ps4k.com

So what's it all about?
What are the sword and 4 daggers metaphors for?
What exactly is that stinking, tummy-rumbling monster coming down the street?
But most importantly, who/what is the poem about?

There are lots of clues, even in the title...

Still stuck?

Click the link to find out. Then read the poem again to see if it makes sense now you know!

Keep Our World Clean!!! by 12 year old Robbie Davidson

I recently received a fantastic email from Robbie. She had been set a school task to write and perform a speech about the "inspiring words of someone else." She had chosen my poem, The Different Path. I was totally bowled over. Even better, she attached one of her own amazing poems about the environment. I especially love the lines, "That leaves just a few, who want to stop the aliens staring." It's a definitely a poem to make you THINK.

Click to read, "Keep Our World Clean!!!"

It might even inspire you to send in one of your own poems. PS4K would love to hear from you!

Sparks - What will you invent with yours?

Kinda cool to think that nearly everything in the world started as a spark in someone's head. What will you create with your sparks?

Tell us about the fantastic-futuristic inventions you're planning to unleash on the world when you get older...

How quickly things change when you're 8!


Becky Bond - A poem about the highs and lows of a brief childhood friendship.

Whether you're 8 or 80 - losing friends is never easy.

Has your friend ever moved away? Did you stay in touch?

Have you ever been chased around the Kissing Tree? Or maybe you've been the chaser!
