POETRY SUBMISSIONS FROM CLASS 10

Accept Reality

In life, it teaches us so,

What happens today, doesn’t tomorrow
But, what you do today, reflects in tomorrow
Why is it so? I quite don’t know
Maybe that’s how life goes
Then what is the way to success?

“There are other ways,”

People might say
But not all is free and fair,
And all I could say,
Is, ‘Experience makes man‘.
So, let’s work it through and see
The beauty in God’s plan!

SAVE GREENERY!!

All we need to live in nature,

So, we should save it for the generations in the future;
It is one of our fundamental duty,
To save the nature’s beauty.

It is our responsibility to save the plants,

Because it is important even for the ants;
Destroying the plants causes Global warming,
Which harms all those who are living.

Please stop Deforestation,

To save the greenery across our nation;
Don’t give the trees a torture,
To fill your house full of wood furniture.

Trees and plants get their requirements from the soil,

It’s better for you us to make it spoil;
Those who want to see a beautiful scenery,
Put your hands together to the Greenery!!!

Life

A baby’s first cry

Is a shout out to freedom.
A rise of hope to live by
Filled with wonder and not boredom.

A world is created that flies by

Experiences, relatives are his kingdom
Love, joy, peace is his family,
Sadness, loneliness could be seldom.

The baby reaches to the hand close by

This grasp, encloses his life, his freedom.

When life gives you lemons, You make some lemonade!

When life gives you lemons,

Make some lemonade.

Make sure you have the right ingredients

Or else your hardworks’ in vain.

Make sure to sell them out

Some will throw it back at you
And some will stay.

To those who stay,

You must repay.

So now you know that

When life gives you lemons
You make some lemonade!

Let the Heart Beat!

What’s the purpose of the Moon in the sky?

What’s the purpose of an Eagle soaring high?
I ponder! I ponder! Earth is a Heaven - An elegant sphere
But, what is the purpose of we being here?

The world wants a light of opulence

Humility is replaced with truculence.
What is the use of Heart in chest?
If we just see the money and ignore the rest!

If you think this is life, thou art in a wrong way,

Life is as beautiful as a darling dream in a day!

The gust of wind, the falling leaves,

The flowing river, the flakes of snow,
All this will let you know
The world is sleeping and my words are alarming
Life is beautiful, life is Charming!

We all are a family, this planet is our home,

Every man is my brother, from Sydney or Rome!
It is yourself, to whom you cheat
So, erase the cynicism and let the heart beat!

Enjoy the beauty of this magnificent land

Help the needy with thy hand
When my neighbour is starving, I too don’t eat
Say the world, ‘Let the Heart Beat!’, Let the Heart Beat!
Let the Heart Beat!

Hiraeth

I stirred from my slumber

At the pitter – patter of the rain
At the sound of my mother
Urging me to go to school again

An ambrosial scent drifted in

It aided my mother in her quest
You’re gonna be late
She warned and left

Some days I’m forced to go to school

Some days I feign sickness
Some days I wake too early –
Too excited to go to school.

Moms Back in the kitchen

Dads engrossed in his newspaper
My sister fast asleep
Her light snores make me envious

Now I’m just a teen-

Like a sortiger I know –
Soon things won’t be too pretty
Soon I will be redolent of this routine
Soon my schedule will be uncanny
I won’t be in my childhood bed
Eager to grow
Eager to spread my wings

Soon enough I’ll notice things

Like how tired my mom is
Their silver lined hair
Light crinkles on their faces

My sister won’t be next door

She will be far from reach
There will be no more fights
My partner – in – crime will leave

There might not be a home

Just an empty house
We can’t meet everyday
I can’t or pout at them

We must grow from afar

We must not grow apart
We will have a reunion
The hearth will still be warm

Dear mom and dad

We will celebrate every grey hair
Our memories are instilled
Deep down in my heart

I can promise you this-

A decade or so from now
You will be sipping tea
Feeling beloved, free and proud

Childhood

Childhood is life’s best phase.

It is joy and laughter’s base
Everything seemed to be so light and mild
When I was a little child.

Tops, guns and marbles,

Cricket, carrom and scrabble.
Jokes, games and loud screams
Claiming them, was my only dream.
There was no difference, all were same.
There was no jealousy and greed for fame.
Innocence and truth were my best friends.
Stock of love and care would never end.

Creating ‘Memories’ is also an Art.

Childhood, now resides in my heart.
If there is something to gain,
It’s the desire to see childhood again.

Purpose of Life

The purpose of life can’t be found

No matter where you search around
In this world you can’t find
Anything that satisfies your soul or mind.
God only can satisfy,
And make the purpose of life High!

God shows the beauty of life

And the purpose of you on Earth
And you will find from all your strife
He has separated you from birth
The purpose of life you live
Is found in God when you give.

PURPOSE FOR EVERY SOUL!

With burning passion

Ignite the fire.
Make faith you foundation
Through life’s distraction.

Sometimes you climb taller

Mountains than the other
But, with every ascent –
We gain new view,
Perspective widened and souls renewed.

Learn from every trail.

Cherish every achievement!
Discover success through valleys.
Embrace the unknown!
And fulfil your purpose!
When life pulls you down,
Let faith and purpose be aligned.
With every hardship,
And constant hardwork,
Life draws a picture of –
Success and purpose for Every Soul!

My favourite Hobby!

Everyone seems to have a hobby,

Including the deficient and the snobby.
My hobby is something I love to do,
It would indeed be something I would pursue.
Well, my favourite hobby turns out to be writing
And I find it extremely delighting.

Whenever I write, I find peace

It feels like giving wings to dreams
Writing widens my imaginations,
Helping me to portray my illustrations.
If you have a hobby too, then make it your goal,
And follow it with all your mind, body and soul!

A Smile

A smile is like a seed,

Which grows everywhere like and oak tree.
It shines wherever we go,
And it embraces our glow.

There is love in every smile

That remains in everyone’s mind.
For there is beauty in every smile,
Which can go up to miles.

A smile brings joy to the sad

And it makes a person happy.
For a smile costs nothing
Its price is worth everything.

A journey called ‘Life’

A wholesome journey that begins with the birth and ends at death,
That’s called life, something becomes beautiful, breath after breath.
It is indeed spectacular but at times it seems stressful,
But dear reader, it’s your choice to turn it into something wonderful.

Some believe that life is a beautiful lie,

That pulls you all the way down, once you reach the sky.
Others believe that life is something inexplainable,
That lets you search for things that are unknown and incredible.

When will this journey come to an end?

Well, that can never be told my friend!
It’s just about having faith and hope,
By trying your best to climb the rope.

Time here just flies, but you create memories that last a lifetime,
Or just recollect the good old days by listening to a grime!
Well, you can live your life the way you like,
But make it worthy enough for someone to live theirs alike.
And that my friend, is a journey for not just the wise.
This is called a journey of life!
