Circus!

I went to the circus

where I had lots of fun!

There were jolly clowns and acrobats,

who made me laugh a ton! 

There were jugglers juggling balls with ease,

acrobats leaping here and there!

Soon elephants came in marching with pride-

there was a jolly atmosphere everywhere!

The clowns started making us laugh,

by doing some short skits.
We even got some free food to eat
like cotton candy and  banana splits!


 A few girls did ballet,

in a graceful way.

 Then monkeys started to ride bicycles,

and  wonderful music started to play.

A magician showed us an astonishing magic trick,

 and there was much more.....

I started to wonder why,

I never went there before!

Mirror

Inside the mirror I can see,
someone who really looks like me.

If my hair are messy,
it shows me how they look.
When I can't decide what to wear,
I looked in the mirror and the decision it took!

If I am eating chocolate
and it smears on my face.
The mirror shows the exact point it is on,
and I can wipe it off that place.

The person inside the mirror I can see,
always seems to be helpful to me!

The Sun

I am bright and round,
golden and I shine bright.
I am the star of the day,
but I am never seen at night.

I have quite a big family,
which are the 9 planets which revolve around me.
Together we are the solar system,
and you study about me in astronomy.

From all these clues you might have guessed,
I am the mighty sun.
I make the day sunny and bright,
so you can have alot of fun.

When the day gets over,
and it is time for me to go.
You can see a beautiful sunset,
which has an extraordinary glow.

It has been a wonderful day,
and now it is time for the night.
But tomorrow when you wake up again,
once more I will be giving you light.

Diwali Fireworks

A sound of crackers fills the air,
and the fireworks glitter bright.
The joyous festival of Diwali is here,
it is really a beautiful sight.


Fireworks spring up like a jet of light,
in the dark, night sky.
They are so colourful and so bright,
they are some things which we cannot deny.

They look like an aerial waterfall.
BOOM! They disappear in a second- and that's all.
Everyone likes fireworks so much,
They are so bright, but impossible to touch.

The sight of a Diwali night,
takes your breath away.
I wish we could see things like this
everyday . . . .

Flower pots, fire crackers, Rangoli's,
are also a beautiful sight.
this is the beauty,
of a Diwali night.

I don't want to have a nap!

My bed is cozy,
my sister is sleeping happily.
The light is dim-
But that won't convince me!


I wonder who,
really wants to sleep during the day.
A day is to laugh, eat, talk,
sing, dance, run and play.


After all I have said,I don't know why,
my eyes start to close and a horn goes BEEP!
I wake up with a start,
And realize I was half asleep!


If you are sleepy,
I guess a nap is not so bad after all-
But you will not see me sleep during the day,
As I will be playing with a frisbee or ball. . . .

A Tree

Pushed underneath the ground,
I slept and slept without a sound.
One day, Mr sun woke me up,
Ms rain visited and I swelled up.

I broke through the seed,
and over me, the refreshing breeze blew.
But, before I could enjoy,
there was alot of work to do.


I had to make my roots strong,
before I could touch the sky.
My leaves had to grow fast-
 as without food I would die.


YEARS LATER. . . . .


Now I'm a big tree,
laden with fruits.
Birds and animals shelter in me,
I am very strong with my big trunk and roots.


My branches spread wide-
my hard work paid off.
 Because I am beautiful and big-
 I just can't resist to show - off!

When  monkeys jump on me
I feel rather glad.
When others are unhappy,
I too feel very bad.


I like to see the children,
sitting under me for shade.
They wave goodbye to me,
after they have played.


The birds, animals and kids,
are my best friends.
I hope our sweet friendship,
never has an end!


It's a pleasure to make others happy,
and see a lovely smile on their face.
You should try it sometimes too,
and if you do, sadness shall never leave any trace.

Autobiography of a coin

I was a piece of metal,

dug deep underground.

Two busy workers found me,

in their factory I was cut round.

I fell asleep for a few hours,

and woke up in a dark place.

Then I was pulled out suddenly,

to see a chubby man's  face.

A lady smiled to see me,

and I was exchanged for a sweet without a word.

You would have known the lady was a shopkeeper,

but to me the whole event was totally absurd.

The lady put me in her pocket which had a rather big hole,

and I rapidly  rolled out.

I spun 2 times and landed in a gutter,

Yuck! I started to shout.

A gush of water came rushing through,

and the fast current lead me away.

I sighed and splashed and spluttered,

oh, when will be the end of this horrible day?

Oops!!! I didn't notice I landed on a dolphin,

Who leaped and I was away.

Where exactly had I landed?

On a warm, sunny, bay!

A boy picked me up,

and took me to his house.

There I saw stuff I never saw before,

a doll, a bangle, a mouse!

There, I saw a pink big thing,

it had a hole on top.

The boy pushed me through,

 and in I went - PLOP!

There were so many other coins,

they were so friendly I was shocked.

Suddenly I looked up,

the small hole was blocked.

Another coin told me,

" Don't worry, your new 'home' is found.

This is a 'piggy bank' meant for coins,

come, I will show you around.''

" My name is Olive."

The little coin said.

 Oh! We have to go now,

it's time for bed!

I stayed in the piggy bank for many months,

until one day disaster struck.

Olive and me were pulled out,

and were taken to an ice cream truck.

Me and Olive were put in a drawer,

and I bet you can't guess what happened next to me!

In the form of taxes, me and Olive were given,

to the president of America . . . . . Yippee!

I understood, that life is a game,

and you just have to learn to live with it.

You may soar high, up in the sky,

Or might end up in a muddy pit!
