Julie Anna Douglas
Julie started writing poetry four years ago and she just can't stop!

Her mind is constantly full of Dragons, Space Adventures and Mildly Scary Monsters. Her poems have appeared in some lovely magazines like Spider, Ember Journal and The Caterpillar and in the wonderful Watcher of the Skies, anthology of space poetry by The Emma Press.

She also has great fun writing poetry and articles for Amazing! Magazine for Kids every month on topics ranging from Vikings and Grannies to Pirates and Zombies.

Julie is Resident Poet at Gibshill Children's Centre in Greenock and also visits lots of other schools and nurseries where (to her delight!!!) the children regularly create poetry much better that hers.

She dreams of a world made of cupcakes, marshmallows and candyfloss.
Recipe for Cosmic Cup Cakes

Crumble a cluster of comets and shower of meteorites
Over a supernova, glittering and bright.
Sprinkle on some Pluto particles, using a galactic grater.
Mix together with a solar spoon in the deepest Martian crater.
Into your celestial concoction, pop a star from Orion's Belt.
Choose a layer of ozone. Use a sunbeam to gently melt.
Carefully gather a pinch of gravity and some atmosphere - just a dash.
Under the light of a constellation, select a moon to mash.
Pick the darkest, blackest hole. Chop and finely slice.
Catch a passing asteroid. Peel, quarter and roughly dice.
Add a luminous nebula. Stir in a scoop of Milky Way.
Keep whisking at the speed of light. Bake with a cosmic ray.
Each cup cake needs a topping of moondust. Now they are ready to eat.
Serve on a flying saucer and enjoy the universe's sweetest treat.

If Clouds Were Made of Candyfloss

If clouds were made of candyfloss.
If honey filled the seven seas.
If sand was made of sherbet.
If cup cakes grew on every tree.
If mountains were made of marshmallows.
If fudge flowers grew wild and free.
If all houses were made of chocolate.
What a sweet world it would be.
