Summer

The warmth on my skin,

The heat on my face,

Humidity in the air,

The sweat after a race.

Longer days with fun and joy,

Is what summer brings.

The sky in a brilliant shade of blue,

And so many more things.

The cold, tingling feeling of the pool,

As our skin gives a sigh of relief.

Our minds thinking of the lazy days,

When nobody is in grief.

The sun shines merrily above the horizon,

Sharing its heat and light.

A smile on everybody’s face,

As our hearts are filled with delight!

Rainbow Family Pleasantness

One day came a long, serene rain,

Saplings, plants, farmers, reservoirs smiled again.

Others gave a frown of pain,

Due to foresight, there was no stink or overflowing drains.

Then arose the shining sun,

It was curtains up for a boon.

I looked up with elegant smile,

Sweet rainbow appeared within a mile.

I met the rainbow at the horizon,

It was a joyful, lovely reunion.

The Ocean

As I look from the edge of the ocean,

Glimmering golden, for it’s almost dawn,

So many waves coming towards me,

And yet I know, there’s a lot more going on.

The ocean stretches for miles around,

So many creatures with fins and gills,

So many miles below the ground.

The waves are splashing closer and closer,

As I realise the world is bigger than it seems,

As I stare into the ocean,

In golden light, it gleams.

TRY, TRY AND TRY

Once there was a boy

And everyone thought,

He was a useless guy.

He always Failed,

In every exam

Be it First second or third,

Or the last, Final term.

Once he saw an art,

Who was trying to climb a wall.

Fell down, but tried again,

And then it did not

This lit up his inner soul,

He worked harder to achieve his goals.

And one day he went up so high,

That he Finally touched the sky!

IF you too want achievements,

Never, ever cry.

Just set your goals and aims,

And try try and try.

-Adya Tripathi

Our Motherland

The land of diversity,

Where people live in harmony.

Different cultures and customs,

And different castes and religions

Our history today tells us all,

About great leaders and freedom fighters’ sacrifice,

Who all were very wise.

Our country was protected,

Because they protested.

The Himalayas have worn a crown,

Giving birth to some of the greatest rivers,

The atmosphere here is filled with serenity,

Creating a nature that is very pretty!

One Moment

One moment I was in the air,

Above the clouds, nowhere to be found.

One moment I was below the Earth,

In its core I was bound.

One moment I was in a palace,

And the other in a cottage so small.

One moment I was happy with a stick

And the other, I hated my expensive ball.

Time changes as we go,

We can’t follow it; it just goes,

Time is precious

So this is what we learnt folks!
