Halloween

Dressed as witches,vampires or ghosts,

dozens of children walk down the dimly lit lane.

They knock on doors turn by turn,

waiting eagerly for a bunch of candy corn or maybe a candy cane.

The door creaks and opens as they cry,

Trick, or Treat!

With smiles on their faces they count the candy,

they have gotten to eat.

Their costumes dazzle in the moonlight,

their candy bags are stuffed with treats,

as they walk home, munching and tasting,

one or two of the delicious sweets.

At night,
when the moon is full,
and the stars  are twinkling,
children are asleep,
dreaming.....

Witches fly past their windows,
ghosts appear through the walls,
pixies zoom out of their closets,
scarecrows are playing with their balls...

Screaming, shouting, off they run,
with teddies in their hands,
awake, now, they leave,
all those magical lands.

April Fools!

I can't wait for tomorrow,

it's April Fools Day!

I've thought up a million pranks I'll try,

be prepared, I'm warning you today!

I'll drop a stink-bomb in the swimming pool,

I'll use some paint and 'redecorate' your favourite stool.

I'll juggle with your show-pieces-this is just a start,

I'll eat up your ice-cream and your pop tart.

I'll sneak up behind you,

and turn off the light,

I'll scare you until

you run out of sight.

I'll blame you for throwing

my cat out of the house,

I'll chase you away,

like some teeny-tiny mouse.

I'll draw graffiti on your walls,

I'll spray paint your door.

I'll empty your trash can,

all over the floor.

So now you have an idea,

of how my plans are like.

Don't worry, you have another day,

before I strike.

NO SALARY FOR YOU, SANTA......

Santa lived with his family, his wife,Cream Claus, his son Mint Claus and daughter,Candy Claus.One day, Mint Claus and Candy Claus started to complain. They said,"How come we do not get any pocket money even though we help you all year making and packing gifts?" Santa Claus was angry. He thought," When they were small, they were happy to help me. Now, I don't know what has happened to them!" Mrs Claus could see he was too angry to even speak. She replied instead of him. " Don't you understand? You should be happy to know that others are happy because of you. In giving we receive, remember?" 

Mrs Claus stayed firm, only for a week, though. On her birthday, she didn't receive any gift - she was waiting for her gift all day. By the evening, she was boiling mad.She gave Santa a disgusted look.  But all that Santa said was "You know that it is December...I cannot afford to spend any money at this time of the year."Mint Claus and Candy Claus giggled. 

A week before Christmas, Santa was checking if he had packed all the gifts and he realized that he forgot to make one present- a blackberry mobile. He looked at his own phone- it was the same model. He didn't have time to make a mobile, and he didn't want to give his own phone either. He thought,"It's not fair! I spend all year making and wrapping gifts and I don't even get any money! He called the 'Gifting Authorities' and told them that if they wanted him to work for them, they would have to give him money. The minister sighed. He knew that Santa and his family had forgotten all about the 'pleasure of giving'. 

The minister sent his P.A. to Santa. At first Santa thought that the P.A. had come to give him his salary, but the P.A. said that he had come there to show them something. The P.A. showed them videos of the kids who had gotten the presents last year. The Claus family was delighted to see how many kids they had pleased. By the time the P.A. finished showing them all the videos, Santa and his family were ready to please kids all over the world again, only this time with double energy. 

All Alone

She seemed like an angel when I first saw her,
I thought she was the perfect friend.
I thought the day would never come,
when our friendship would end.

We played together all day long,
we had so much of fun.
We had sleepovers at each other's house,
and played with her dog, Bun.

One day though, she announced,
that she was shifting away.
I gasped in horror as I realised,
we might never again meet or play.

Tears filled my eyes as I said goodbye,
and her car disappeared from view.
I clutched the teddy bear that she had given me as I thought,
"this is too bad to be true."

I don't know why, maybe no one liked me,
I didn't make a single new friend.
I felt very lonely and I felt like crying,
I felt as if in front of me, there was a dead end.

After 2 years, my friend came to visit,
and I was overcome with joy.
To my surprise she treated me,
like an old, forgotten toy.

I tore apart the teddy she had given me,
I clenched my fist as I thought about the attitude she had shown.
Then I strengthened up as I thought that I had to carry on,
even if I was lonely and all alone.

Soccer

I bought a brand-new photo frame,
to put the picture of the time I won the inter school soccer game.
I kicked, I blocked, I was certainly the best.
I made goals, I dribbled the ball and I outdid the rest.

When we won the game, my teammates cheered.
The girls of the other team made rude faces and jeered.
As if I didn't notice them, I smiled wide with pride.
The girls of the other team just stomped and cried.

The audience clapped,
my school flag flapped.
My teammates lifted me onto their shoulders,
when a few teachers came with a few folders.

They gave away the prizes with smiles on their faces,
and, finally, came the trophies in clear glass cases.
When I saw the shiny trophies, I was filled with glee;
to my surprise, there was a trophy, just for me!!!

True Friends

One fine day, I decided I wanted to go for a walk in the park. So I called my friend and asked her if she wanted to come with me. "Sure," she said. So we both headed towards the park. When we reached, we heard many girls giggling together. Then I saw who was making all the noise- Rina and her friends. They were very mean girls who were also very popular at school. They had a particular dislike for me and my friend. As soon as Rina saw us, her happy expression turned into an expression of pure hatred. All her friends started to whisper in each other's ears. My friend (whose name was Aditi) said, "Let's go from here. With Rina and her clique in the park we won't have any fun." Though I thought the same, I said, "No, let's stay here. Don't worry, she won't be able to spoil our fun." So we both ran towards the swings. "Oh, what luck! Today both the swings are free. We can swing together!" exclaimed Aditi. It was one of the rare occasions when both the swings in the park were free. Usually they were occupied and we had to take turns to swing. We both sat on the swings and had just started swinging when Rina came towards us. She said, " Hey , get off that swing. I want it. " "No, we got the swings first. You will have to wait for your turn," I said. " Don't mess with me. My father owns the company your parents work in. I can get them fired," said Rina, with a triumphant tone in her voice. " Well, your father doesn't own these swings. So we won't get off until we feel like it," said Aditi." I see. I shall see to it that your parents lose their jobs," said Rina and then went back to her friends. "What will I do, Aditi? Now my parents will lose their jobs!" I said. "Don't worry, we'll think of something," said Aditi, calmly. Just then we heard someone saying"Oh no!". It was Rina. We ran towards her. She was covered in mud! None of her friends dared to come near her. They were saying that she was stinking and they would get dirty too if they went near her. "Though Aditi and I did not like her, we were felt sorry for her.Rina, did you slip in that puddle?" I asked. "If you want some spare clothes you can get some at my house," Aditi said. " Thank you. Today I realised that you are my true friends. I am sorry about being so mean to you both," said Rina, looking at me and Aditi. " I guess that means we are friends now," said Aditi.Aditi and I took Rina to my house and helped her clean her dress. We also gave her spare clothes to wear. "Now that we are not enemies, let's celebrate by having a sleepover!" I said- and that's exactly what we did!

A Day Passing By

When the sun starts to give us light,

after the dark and gloomy previous night,
you can see clear, tiny dew drops,
on flowers, trees, grass and crops.

Soon the animals come out to hop and play,
giving the signal that it is day,
birds start chirping and start singing,
to wake us like an alarm ringing.

Newspapers then drop at our doorsteps,
and at this time you can hear many footsteps,
the traffic then starts increasing,
not showing any sign of easing.

Everyone then goes to office or school,
and starts to obey the discipline rule,
till it is time to go back,
with our heavy, backpack.

The light then becomes less and less,
and then its time to say goodbye to the day, I guess,
and when I see the stars in the sky,
I know that another day has gone by. . . .

A funny little furry ball

A funny little furry ball,
came up to me and said:
"For just one night can you give me
shelter, food and a bed?"

There was no harm in what it said,
so I went ahead and said 'yes'.
But I had made a big mistake,
because it made my house a great big mess!

I showed it a corner in my bedroom,
where it could easily sleep.
But instead of being thankful,
it had started to weep.

So I ended up giving it my own bed,
while I had to sleep on the floor.
I wondered why it only had to,
knock on MY home's door?


It ate, and ate, and ate,
and finished all the food I had got!
"For it's little, tiny size,
it eats way TOO much," I thought.

And, to keep it in my house all night,
what reward do I get?
a bathroom, kitchen, bed and wall,
all very, very wet.....

I was relieved when it left,
and locked the door as soon as it was gone.
After an hour I went back outside, and, hey,
it turned out that it had accidently toppled paint all over my lawn!

 

2012 Has Sprung Up!

2012 has finally approached!
And that means new fun for everyone!
A fresh new start to everything,
after important work in 2011 has been done.

It will be a great year,
you and me already know.
But one thing to keep in mind this year,
is to forget every foe and woe.

Now my birthday will come again!
All the festivals will come again too!
There will be new movies and songs,
and more theories shall be proven true!


Some people believe,
that this year the world ends.
But for now I will just celebrate new year,
with my best friends!
