Tiring, exciting
Running, shooting, scoring,
Excitable, cheering, joyful, fun
Awesome

Do You Really care?

1
by Akifah Abdin aged 9

You said I was your friend
But we both
know you hate me for all you care

It was I who brought us three
together but you don’t care about me,
You just go in twos

School isn’t fun,
Your knew best friend punches and kicks me
but you don’t do anything about it

Your new best friend is
simply mean altogether
She invites me to her house without you even
knowing,
then she is sarcastic and mean

You don’t care do you?
The world is like a cardboard box
With me, an ant inside
left by myself

But you do not care.

Mother Earth

by Harshita Das aged 12

The forests are green and bushy
Trees covered in fruits
Wild flowers at every edge
Growing ferociously
The mountains are steep and rocky
Jagged and uneven
Littered with animals
The river is roaring in its bed
The lake is sparkling calmly
The bright blue sky has no sign of clouds
Everything seems to be lively
And yet sometimes
I imagine our beloved Earth
As a human.

Her eyes are stormy blue
Like the sky
Her temper is like thunder
Always ready to strike
Her lips rosy and beautiful
And the smile on them
Is ever so calm
Like a sparkling lake
Her face marble white
Like the quartz found underneath
Her hair dark as the mud
Long and wavy
As it constantly blows in the breeze
And a tiara
Made of colourful flowers
Shining as brightly as the Sun
A green dress
Of woven grass
Sleeves stripped by vines
Gloves made of leaves
Encrusted with jewels
Diamonds and emeralds
Which are found beneath the Earth
Heeled sandals wooden like a bark
She walks tenderly
For, while she is as soft as a cloud
A small essence of an
Erupting volcano is also within

Nuclear

The thin shroud of toxic lingers in the air
The land lays barren and cold
No sign of the bright, lively city that once existed
But, even if the blast killed tons of metal and buildings
It failed to kill hope

Figure It Out Yourself

by Giovanna aged 9

don’t stand here with nothing to do,
everyone knows there is something to do,
with me by your side it will be alright,
just figure it out yourself

I told you once and I am not telling you twice,
plenty of times, do yo listen? no!,
even if I am a teacher do not worry,
just figure it out yourself

True Love

True
True love
True love is
True love is hard
True love is hard to
True love is hard to find
How do you find where true love is?

Senses

I can hear what many can’t
I can hear the rustle of leaves and the chirp of birds
I can hear the rhythm in the humming of bees
I can hear the heartbeats of those struggling to live
I can hear peace in a meadow where humans don’t exist

I can smell what many can’t
I can smell the heartiness of bread that only the poor can fathom
I can smell the sweet scent of nectar on flowers
I can smell the pureness in the air when the grass is around
I can smell the reek of bitterness from within humans

I can see what many can’t
I can see the beauty in humans that they cannot
I can see the end of the world, burning to ashes
I can see dedication in those who want to prevent it

And although I have gifts
I am merely an observer; observing
A bird easily ignored
But I have senses that many do not

Strange

by Harshita Das aged 12

Strange things happen to the best of us
But, strange is only that which is different from us
Who are we to judge what is strange?
For the so-called strange people
Think us strange
And then maybe, none of us are
We are just unique

Magic

0
by Harshita aged 12

Sorcerers don’t know what true magic is
Although they have had a taste of it
They have no idea what real magic is
For even if there were gods
Or other supernatural beings in this world
They would never know what true magic is
And even when we have all had a taste of it
We still haven’t figured out
That magic lies…
In a slice of pizza

Lifestyles

by Anapayini Nadkarni aged 8

My life is different than yours,
Some have a family of four!
I like to gaze at bright stars,
they live in a land so far!

People sometimes like hip hop,
Some like pop.
Some like to groove on the spot!
Sometimes you end up on a big, big dot!

Some wake up late,
Also forget the date!
Some get grounded,
But love is unbound.

It’s all like a dream in a far, far land!
