My Pride

The Patriotic Indian Soldier

They work day and night for the country
and protect the nation bravely
Their aim is to keep people safe,
these recruits should really be praised.
They feel proud to be an Indian Soldier,
to protect the nation
They are too clever,
they can live in the cold but not shiver
because they are born to guard others forever.
They can die for the country but would not fear,
they can fight for the country but would not give up
and work for the country and labour,
because they are born to be valour.
We Indians rely on them,
they are worth a precious gem,
These reputable soldiers let us thrive,
they fight for the country to keep us alive.
These soldiers are worthy of respect
as they are our life’s aspect
They are like our brothers who are trustworthy,
they are really praiseworthy.

Waiting for Rain

by Aditi Vishwanath

Seeing black clouds appear, makes me feel happier,
I start waiting for rain, forgetting all my pain.
When a drop of water falls on me, I feel joyous and very free,
I run away for getting wet, along with my cute little pet.
But, Alas! Clouds disappear, and the sizzling sun reappears,
Me and my pet feel disappointed, desperate and disheartened.
We dreamt to dance in the rain,
we dreamt to jiggle in the rain, we dreamt to sing in the rain,
but it didn’t rain; all in vain.
We waited for rain, again and again,
I say, “Almighty! Please shower us with rain”, and again dream of jiggling, dancing, singing, yet it isn’t raining.

Writer’s Block

by Harshita Das aged 12

I watch the blinking line in front of me
My mind is as blank as the screen
I pound my head, I slam the keys
I try to think, my brain says no; adamantly
Nothing gives me inspirition, nothing I do, nothing I read
Nothing I hear, nothing I smell, nothing I see

I want to write, but what? I don’t know
Ideas just refuse to flow
Now, tired of thinking, I am in woe
This void in my head is my biggest foe
Then my friend said to me so
I should never try to fight the writer’s block alone

Bath Time for Puppies

What all dogs dread after a long day of play
In the thick mushy mud
Getting covered in the smelly stuff,
The thing they dread the most
Of which the humans host,
is  nice clean bath!
When you scrub in the soap,
Rinse out then dry,
Their fur ‘POOFS’ out!

My Friends Gave Me a Setting, Characters and the Weather…

It was snowing in Canada,
A rhino was having fun.
The rhino was holding a spanner,
Trying to fix a snowman.
His nose was bitten off by a reindeer.
The reindeer’s nose was red,
His coat soft,
The reindeer’s bells jingled as he trotted off.

Nature

I went to the park
and saw a bird a bee
and a ladybug
They was flying high
in the sky
so I called out, Why
are you flying so high
in the sky?
I hope you like it!

Milly, My Friend

I once new a girl called Milly
She always acted silly
She was my friend
And she liked to bend
And she said, Are you my friend? I said, Really!

Change

by Harshita Das aged 12

It is exhilarating and risky
I fear it yet take delight in it
It opens up new possibilities

Yet it hurts
To see everything you understood,
Twisted

Everyone fears change
I chose to embrace it
But, as they say,
Some people, never change

What Runs You?

by Harshita Das aged 12

“Pens run on ink
Cars run on fuel
Battery powers electronics
Water fills the pool
Will pushes a soldier
Pencils draw with lead
So, if I may ask
What runs you?” I said

And she whispered in my ear
“Your love, my dear”
