Student Poetry Competition 2025 Finalist: I am Lucky

I am Lucky

by Atticus Myers, Fitzroy Community School
Finalist, Foundation – Year 2, written poetry

I am lucky
I have a sister
I play card games with her
Like Uno
I win
I am lucky
I have a cat
It’s good patting her
And snuggling with her
In my bed at night
I am lucky
I have a dog
She licks me
All the time
My mum and I
Take her for runs in the park
I am lucky.

‘A lovely reminder of how lucky we are to have love and companionship in our lives.’
