The sun is still snoring
The seagulls are on their way
To find their daily prey.
A thousand seashells lie on the shore
Some are multihued and some are white and strewn ashore.
Finally, the sun rose on the horizon
Its glow meant to enlighten
Now the fishermen rush out, trap the fishes
To cover many plates with delicious dishes.

I’ll make a vehicle that
can go through
Land and water;
One, which gets wheels
on land,
The same, which gets
fatter and fatter on water;
Floating through a
river, passing by icy mountains and a dense forest;
I reach my destination
and then rest;
The next day, I take a
lens;
I search for the rare
emerald.
My mind gets puzzled,
but soon everything comes to sense.
I found the emerald in a
chest;
I thought I was done
with the quest;
A dragon woke up from
the emerald
I thought I was in
trouble;
But the dragon trapped
me in a bubble.
After years and years, I
popped the bubble,
And heard someone call
my name
I heard my mom scream
And realized all of this
was a dream.

Teachers Teachers my dear teachers
Sometime you scold
Sometime you advice
So that we shine in the crowd.
Teachers Teachers my dear teachers
You teach us to respect
You teach us to be strong
So that we become good citizens
Teachers Teachers my dear teachers
You teach us art
You teach us craft
So that we become creative
Teachers Teachers my dear teachers
Sometime you ask us to do
Sometime you help us to do
So that we become independent
Teachers Teachers my dear teachers
You develop our knowledge
You develop our confidence
So that we are courageous.

Corona the virus
Came to Cyrus
Gave him Sinus
Cyrus was smart
had taken covishield
which acted as a protective shield
He told everyone
Don’t be scared
Solutions are rare
But all the Saviors are there !
We will overcome
This is just a Phase
God and Hope are at the pace…
~Nayana P Rao, 6MS
Some choose the crowd
Some choose the heart
Some choose to be proud
Some choose knowledge to impart
It's not enough to be friendly
you have to be a friend
Words can be deadly
It is easy to offend
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”
Why do we believe
That words don't hurt
People can be naive
We need to be alert
When you're offered
Being right or being kind
Kindness is only chosen by a small herd
The ones who choose being right are blinded by words
Life is unfair
Yes it's very true
But let's make it fair
For the ones who are feeling blue
Kindness is not child's play,
It is a feeling
To make someone’s sadness go away
A simple smile can be healing
It’s nice to be nice
Don't waste your time
You won’t pay a hefty price
Kindness isn't a crime
To stand up for others is being bold
But it will teach you
Kindness won't give you any medals of Gold
Empathy is only chosen by a few
It's not hard
Do it from the heart
Kindness isn't measured in yards
C’mon let's do our part!
I wrote this Poem because I got inspired by a single book. The book is known as Wonder, written by R. J. Palacio. For those who have not read it, it's really inspiring. (won't give away any spoilers!) Kindness is not something where you just say be nice. It's about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. To feel how they are feeling. I think a little dose of kindness can go a long way. Just like the story “a glass of milk”, kindness is like food, it's necessary for someone, so you can push them to reach their goals, and encourage them to do their best. I got encouraged, because people get bullied, and get harsh responses, so if we try to have empathy for others, the world will definitely be a better place.

The five elements are the reason we live.
If one of them is missing, we would not survive.
The fire ignites emotions within,
The sacred water washes away our sins.
The sky holds us all together
Like a baby held by its mother.
The air blows without any rest all the time
Like our heart beats all our lifetime.
The earth bears our weight without any complaint,
Yet we take advantage and give it more pain.
I ask you therefore,
Please, nurture them,
Lest we all become flowers without stems.

On
the cracked pavement,
A
flower grows,
It’s
almost like a sign from god…
It’s
reaching out to me,
Telling
me to not lose hope,
To
be brave, to be strong…
It’s
telling me, that if a flower
Can
grow on a cracked pavement,
In
a lifeless world,
It’s
born to be strong,
It
born to spread hope,
Even
on a cracked pavement,
A flower blooms…

Deeper than all the bones
More painful than any wound
A cut that cannot be closed
A scar that has reached my soul
The light begins to fade
The darkness begins to raid
Sadness wherever I go
Happiness, it ain’t coming close
I walk through these lonely shadows
Memories of you hit me like arrows
No, I didn’t ask for this
Devil has given me his evil kiss
Now I’m mourning for your loss
Tears that will never pause
I still love you in my heart
But it’s causing heartbreak to start
I need a little joy on my way
God, let the rest I love please stay
Your death was a huge price to pay
But you will never leave my heart any day
~Akash Kempwodeyar - 9 IGCSE.
My mind is flooded
With a thousand
thoughts,
Thoughts that aren’t
blessed,
They’re splattered with
blood-red spots…
I try to latch on,
To those bloodied
thoughts,
But time fleets on,
My fears rage on,
Until all I can do is
To steel myself,
And listen to those
Calming taps on my head,
And slowly, the world
darkens,
The night sinks into me,
As those spots of blood,
Become one with me…
~Ananya Rao - AS Level
Memories are heartbeats
Sounding through the
years...
Echoes Never fading
Of our smiles and our
tears...
Moments that are
captured
Sometimes Unaware…
Pictured in a album
Or a lock of hair…
Images that linger deep
within the mind
Bit of verse we
cherished...
Once upon a time
Through the musty
hallways
Of the day we knew…
Ever comes the vision
beautiful and true…
Memories are roses
Blooming evermore…
Memories are lights that
burn
Keeping our heart alive…
~ Pradheesh M.V.R - 9IG
As small as I am, I
still float
No matter how the tide
turns,
I must if it is today,
Sink or float
I am but a paper boat,
I float in small
streams.
Following the twists and
turns,
Of the dancing stream.
I don’t see a sudden
drop,
I don’t see an
unexpected change in my course,
But then again I think,
nor do I see a steady path.
It is all in that
moment,
Where you don’t see
anything,
If it’s a sudden drop,
or an unexpected change in the tide,
Because no matter how
hard you try, how prepared you are,
A stream always finds a
way, and it’s not always on your side.
But it’s just a matter
of hope,
And if you have hope,
Then even in a puddle,
A paper boat will float.
And as of now,when
nothing is clear,
And the future is as
unpredictable as the sea,
All I can do now is to
hold on to what I hold dear,
To live in this
moment,and dream about
what my future
holds for me…
