Winter Days




In the morning cold,
I wake up for school in despair,
Shivering in the room and combing my hair.
I look out the window,
nothing I see,
nothing but the faint shadow of the banyan tree.
everything is engulfed in the morning mist,
I pull my sweater upto my fist.
The only warmth I get is from my heart that beats,
constantly, in a rhythm and keeps me adrift.
I walk down the stairs in utter pain,
wondering if the school had gone insane.
Troubling young kids on winter days,
"It's all for own benefit", my mother says.
I keep my head down,
I go to school,
Wondering If I just had been made a fool.
My friends and I, sit in the horrible state.
In pain, sorrow and despair.
Coming to school on winter mornings.
We all completely hate.

A Ray of Hope




In a country laden with poverty, violence and corruption,
people distraught, fighting to survive,
Festivals lighten the mood and help us revive.

When we open our newspapers in the morning,
Scams, murders and what all cover the pages.
People feel the country has no scope,
But we strong Indians live on hope.

We live in a country with a strong heritage,
To be a part of it, is a great privilege and
each festival brings love, prosperity and joy,
People unite to celebrate and enjoy.

Be it Christmas, Diwali or Eid,
The enthusiasm we Indians show is unmatched indeed.
Forever these festivals live,
Warmth to the poor and lonely they give.

They brighten up the world,
make it a happier place,
they help bring back a smile to the face.

2012 : The Beginning of the End


The Mayans predicted the last day of Earth,
It has been 4.5 billion years since its birth.
It has come time for famine to strike,
Prices of food to hike and deaths alike.
Global warming may have played its part,
We had a chance to stop it before it had start.
We had it coming for us,
Destruction will spread like a virus.
Earthquakes and volcanoes will change the shape of the crust,
Tsunami's will rise and all mankind would be swept from the face of the earth.

This is what they "predicted" so let's hope this is not the case,
We should take this as a warning and start from the base.
We should stop the wars for the sake of the future,
Rather than wasting resources,
We should start to nurture.

Expressions Of a Teenager

We learn from our elders,
We follow their path,
They teach us things more important than English, History or Math.
We mean no harm,but only good,
We try to be the best in the neighbourhood.
We develop new ideas and wonderful thoughts,
Because noone wants to live a life full of naughts.
We want to have fun and help each other out,
Work, fun and integrity is what we are all about.
We make new friends,we create new trends.
We wait for our turn,
We all came here to learn.
We want to stand out in the crowd,
As we want our parents to feel proud.
With the right guidance,
We will cover the distance,
And we will make a difference.

story of pandora

It was during the ancient times,
When two brothers committed a crime.
Their names were Epi and Prom,
They were both two ticking bombs.
Prom stole fire from a city in Greece.
The king of gods, Zeus, could'nt sit in peace.
He sent a girl named Pandora down to earth,
where she gave both love and evil birth.
She was sent on earth with a box,
On it was just one lock.
She opened it with a curious mind,
The lid of the box which kept evil bind,
Out came terrible buzzing flies,
She could'nt get rid of them in a thousand tries.
At last they disappeared,
Then came the fly of hope and wiped the tears.

British gypsy

British gypsy

I roam around the world on my feet,
Surviving the nature's cool and heat.
I go around without my British tea,
The forests are full of hopping flea.
There are so many people, I have met,
But the only loyal friend is my pet.
I go around in weather so bad,
But nothing makes me feel sad,
I am happy being a gypsy,
With no mode of transport,
And no place to live.
I have all to take but nothing to give.
Even under the deserts hot sun,
Nothing seems to take away the fun!!!!!

A funny poem on 'friends'

friends

You have friends who are fat,
If you would hit them with your bat,
They would wobble like a jelly,
They cant see their own belly.
They don't feel a thing when hit,
They are always fighting to remain fit.
They don't like playing outside,
But they will be able to withstand a tide.
They don't care what anyone says,
As long as they don't ask them to play
