A Peek into My Life

by Vir Chawla aged 8

My mother helps her niece bloom like a flower,
She bakes cookies faster than a cheetah!
My dad is as strong as an elephant,
He is a house, keeping us safe in the night!
My friend has pride like a lion,
He is truly as cool as a cucumber.
My choice of food is as unique as a diamond vase..
My favorite color blazes like fire.
Orange keeps smiling at me, like a sloth.
The idea of a metaphor about school sparked nostalgic fire in my head,
Because I feel like I am as young as a baby ever since I joined school.
My family has a population as big as Nepal,
And they all live clustered together, in a medicine chest!
I want to go to America as much as a dog wants a bone,
It is truly an absurd time zone!
