A person or a woman
Same thing but different
By their genders
A person can be both
Male and female
A woman is only a female
Well, the human being
I’m talking about was a
A woman born on
August 26, 1918
An American mathematician
Her name was Katherine Johnson
She started from maths
But then geometry in math
Opened her intelligence wider
Making her an enthusiast of
Both science and math
She calculated and analyzed
The flight paths of many spacecrafts
She worked in NASA
She helped NASA
Send astronauts to the moon
And return them back to the Earth
Which is their home sweet home
Katherine overcame
Racial and gender hurdles
That helped make giant hops
For humankind
There is one unique thing about her
She was in when she was 15 only
Think about it!
She graduated with honors
At the age of 18
She taught black students Math
And broke down barriers
In a world where doors were shut
But she knocked and knocked
And then she opened them
For others to follow
Her work was invisible to most
But without her, the stars might not have aligned
For history to shine so bright
She didn’t seek fame,
She sought truth in numbers
Guiding rockets, reaching for the sky
Her legacy is not just in the equations
But in the courage to defy
She proved that a woman, a black woman,
Could write her own future
And chart a path
For generations to come
Her name, Katherine Johnson
Will echo through time forever.

The Perfect Christmas

by Shivansh Bhalla aged 11

Christmas the feast day of Christ
Ringing bells, dancing elves
Reindeer carrying Santa’s sleigh
And Santa making kids’ day
Just beware to not be on the naughty list
Tasty cookies and milk
Wreaths on doors
Snowman with a carrot nose on your lawn
A big cozy jacket on with scarf and hat
Beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky
A delicious family feast
Santa coming out of your chimney
And leaving a present under the big beautiful Christmas tree
Making snow angels in the garden
Stockings on the wall
Getting cozy watching a movie like Home Alone
A decorated house
This is the Perfect Christmas
Have a merry Christmas

What a Bird Sees in a Day

by Veer Sorout aged 10

I am a bird flying sky high
I see helicopters and planes passing by
I swoop down low
And land in a patch of soft white snow
I see cars zooming past me
As far as one can see.
I fly up to a tree with a big log
So I can see through the fog
Now it is time to sleep
I make a small nest and step into a dream.
I wake up early in the morning and look around to see
The sun all lustrous and bright
Making everything look mellow and light
I fly over the streets
And glide over homes
Looking for seeds or water
Which humans leave outside
I finally find my destination,
A place warm and pleasant
Where I can rest,
Until winter ends

Nellie

This is poem about my puppy called Nellie.
She has a toy called Noo Noo. It is stinky and smelly.
Her sharp teeth bite my ankles, so sore!
Her teeth must be very painful I am sure.
Her ears curl over like waves in the sea
And her fur feels like wire wool to me.
She has a tail like a teapot handle, curved like a hook,
There aren’t many that have this look!

Pony I Love You!

Pony, pony, you’re so shiny, like a diamond in the night sky.
Even though you are very small, your eyesight is not there at all.
Maybe you are very spotty and maybe you are always there for me
and I love you more than me!

If I have to leave him…
I WON’T
Instead
I WILL NEVER
I love you Sammy

A Poem About Me

1
by Ivy aged 10

I’m an awfully quiet person,
And I live in a household of 8 (pets included.)
I’ve not been feeling great recently
And it’s putting me in the wrong headspace.
I have horrible thoughts,
I won’t deny,
But I have my friends by my side,
And to me, that is enough,
Because life really is tough.

Because of Her

0
by Shiloh aged 10

When she breathes loudly
When she chews loudly
When she snores loudly
When the noises are too loud
It’s all because of her
I feel angry, I feel like I want to hurt someone
I feel like I want to cry
I run away
And it’s all because of her

Speak up when you know something is not right

The Unforgettable Christmas Mystery

News reporter Morse over here
Twenty five murder cases all over United States
Why all of these murders ?
Why in the US?
Why 25?
Why, why, why?
Is the question spread in the town, Alaska and it people
But it isn’t just them, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, and whatnot!
Although we perch here with one thought in our minds
What happened to our loved ones ?
Well worry no more!
Detective Morse is here! To solve the crime that no one else can
Let’s get freedom today, tonight, any time, but let’s do it
I held my newly decorated candy cane stick and went off unknown
My disguise, huh don’t even talk about it.
Well it was a middle aged man wanting to please his children
So dressed like Santa to get the turkey for dinner
And not to be surprised it worked, partially –
Except for the kids excepting gifts from me as they put their arms spread into the wide open air
But it was now time to figure out the culprits of this year’s Christmas madness
The Grinch was top priority by the town,  although it isn’t up for them to prove or decide
The duty is all on me and only me
Up the hills I went, down the valleys I go
No trace of green fur throughout the borders of Alaska
But little did I know what those long lines meant
I travelled my way to the mountain where Grinch lives
I had to know my guess was a miss
I didn’t though so I went fro
I got to know I was wrong
a question cracked in my head
Is the Krampus the master mind behind the crime?
I was flabbergasted at my foolish mistake
Those long lines were his nails
I scratched my head, pondering how I was going to catch the monster
An evil thought occurred
I was wondering would it be absurd if
I was the new Krampus taking his role?
Furious about who took his job ever so sure
I put on a body suit covered it with black feathers
And the long nails from last Halloween came to work
With a little fixing with my hand I made it go as planned
So I went to St.Nicholas the greatest of all
And I said, “May I be the Krampus of the holiday?”
“I’ll be the best one yet and they will know me as the wicked creature.”
Yes! I got the job and the location of the gruesome Krampus
So I evict him from his job of taking heartfelt humans
It will be better If I go now or the truth may never come out
Hello old Krampus you may leave now no worth of growling
I’m in charge now ha ha
Where are the children? Tell me now or I will kick you out
Not from your job out of the world
Krampus said, “Yes master.”
Perfect as I planned, now just have to take those whimpering kids
And fly away from the North Pole
Mission three hundred and one successful
