The Choice of Sight

This thing we call heart,

This thing we call mind,

This thing we call God,

This thing we call love,

This thing we call soul,

This thing we call life,

What are they really?

Is it the same thing we call heart,

That allows us to survive,

And yet,

Is the weakest of all when heartbroken?

Is it the same thing we call mind,

That guides our conscience to do right,

And yet,

Convinces us to do wrong just the same?

Is it the same thing we call God,

Who created all things humane,

And yet,

Gave life to the evil forces which drive His own creation to destruction?

Is it the same thing we call love,

That teaches us to care and preserve,

And yet,

Allows us to kill and plunge to our own deaths?

Is it the same thing we call soul,

That holds on to our will to live,

And yet,

The same soul that lets go of it?

Is it the same thing we call life,

That we call a blessing,

The one we all get,

And yet,

Makes us endure curses in every possible way?

These things we call them,

What are they really?

To one it is easy to let go,

To another just as hard.

It is the choice we make

To see this world,

As we see it.

For every eye sees it,

In its own way.

Just as a smile seen the other way

Shows a frown.

Geronimo Stilton and Friends

A true gentlemouse to reckon,

Whom fun and adventures beckon.

Geronimo Stilton is his name,

Having fun is his game.

His favourite nephew is Benjamin,

Not Franklin if you’re considering him!

His sister is Thea,

Who in the name of adventure says ‘Whoa’!

With Trap in his family as a prankster,

His time is not spent like a cow in quiet pasture.

I love this rodent more than anyone,

‘cause he is real fun!

After a Beautiful Summer Day

After a beautiful, beautiful summer day,

You ought not make a fool of yourself by being sad not gay!

After a beautiful rainy evening,

Nobody should be frowning.

After a clear starry night,

A bad nightmare is not worth a fright.

After a beautiful hot summer day

Everyone should be happy and gay!

Once Upon a Time

Anwesha Ghosh, Class IX B

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time,

She read a book about life,

Seemed pretty good to her –

The princess got her prince,

And they lived happily ever after.

Right?

Once upon a time,

She watched a movie about life,

Seemed pretty good to her –

The heroine found her hero,

And they lived happily ever after.

Right?

Once upon a time,

She grew up to embrace life,

Seemed pretty good to her.

But something went wrong,

The prince never showed up,

And the heroine got lost.

There never was a happily ever after.

Right.

One Day, One Moment

One day you’ll only have one breath left.

One day you’ll take your last step on earth.

One last look at the world.

And everything you wish you had ever said,

Will never be heard.

So here’s an interesting story for you.

When the clouds were grey, and the grass had dew.

An ordinary boy named Charlie Bucket

In the winters wanted to have a crispy nugget.

But something else he had in his mind,

Was a golden ticket so much divine!

Even on his birthday he couldn’t afford much

But a Wonka candy bar would just be enough.

Oh! It was heaven….the special candy bar,

But having The Golden Ticket seemed very very far.

Don’t lose your hopes the boy said to himself,

There must be some success on The Golden Ticket shelf.

Just then he saw some paper, dumped in the snow,

‘I found ten cents!’ he shouted, ‘Wo ho!’

He rushed to the shop where the fat shopkeeper stood,

Laying the damp money on the table,

He spoke as fast as he could.

A Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight

He told the shopkeeper.

Seeing the boy’s restlessness, he told him to lessen his cheer

He picked the delicious treat, and held it in his hand.

Thinking and thinking and on with his dreamland.

He opened the wrapper and looked at the bar,

And when he saw The Golden Ticket, he rushed like a car.

He reached his house in less than half a minute.

He shouted as loud as he could, I’ve got The Golden Ticket!

What?!! The family shouted, ‘What did you say?’

Charlie yelled again, ‘Tomorrow is the day!’

He flew the next day to Wonka’s chocolate factory,

And the birthday and the visit were most satisfactory.

From that day on, people prayed on blissful joy,

So, this was the marvelous wish of an

Ordinary Boy!
