This is Our World, by David Dale

Below is an extract from one of David Dales children's poems, This is Our World. It's about a group of garden insects that encounter - and fear - a visiting spider. The accompanying illustrations are also by David.

Illustration from This is Our World

This is our world we call the garden
It sits behind the high wooden shed
Amid the leaf covered ground, this is our bed
We live out our lives, a life nobody sees
We are happy and jolly, and we do what we please

Illustration from This is Our World

Piao and Liang are two of a kind
One walked in front and the other behind
Piao flew up in the sunny blue sky with fiery red wings
With Liang by her side, these ladies in red
Flew over the garden and over the high wooden shed

Illustration from This is Our World

Ru chang had a body that was both long and round
He spent most of the day playing deep underground
He enjoyed a good wiggle amongst the dry leaves
But when the sun sank slowly behind the high wooden shed
Ru chang and his friends knew is was soon time for bed

Illustration from This is Our World

Pangzi walked past a pipe that was all dark and hollow
Pangzi took a quick look, then all shocked and surprised
Shining out of the darkness, he saw two glowing green eyes
It was like a monster creeping out of the night
Pangzi couldn't more, he just froze there in fright
