Poem Marathon, Poem 5

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me
as good belongs to you.

Poem Marathon, Poem 4

Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.

 

Anaika's Kitchen Set

        It was Anaika's birthday. It was a bright and sunny day. thankfully her parents had decided to have her birthday party at the

pool. She had invited only three of her friends. Ananya, Sharanya and Ashlin. Her parents were obviously there. They enjoyed in the pool for some time

and then went to a restaraunt. They enjoyed, and then headed to Anaika's house. While playing in the room, her friends came up with an idea. " Hey Anaika,

We're sure that you want to open your gifts. Why don't you open your gifts?" said her friends. "Sure, why not? Let's have a gift ceremony!" she exclaimed.

So they sat in her room and opened all the gifts that she had got.

       

        Ananya had given her a book called 'Dragon's Tale', Sharanya had given her a set of make up and her best friend, Ashlin gave her a human

sized kitchen set! "I love it!" exclaimed Anaika. Ashlin was happy and content. Then, everyday after school, she would play with the kitchen set. When she grew old

and had her own kids, she gave the kitchen set to her daughter. As for her daughter, she thought it was very old school and dumped it in a local dustbin. When Anaika

was passing that bin, she saw it. Not only her heart was broken, but also Ashlin's.

Should she, should she not?

This question had been bothering her for the past few days.

Would he decline or accept?

More questions aroused in her mind…

Who would she become?

How would they be together,

Without them knowing?

What would they do?

What would her friends think?

As she was reflecting these thoughts,

By the pond,

He arrived.

Will you…

The petals showered into the lake,

And filled it with fluorescent colors,

The fish from under wondered what was wrong,

For their curiosity  could kill.

The stared at the animal,

Wondering whether the animal reflected her emotions,

But no, then by now he would have run away.

She glared at the tiger’s eyes with anger,

Then, he stared innocently.

Proving to her that they had a mind,

Of their own.

We Unite

Once in a place called Lagoore, there lived a sweet 12- year old girl called Banga, who used to go to a school named Pragreis School.

Although this girl was 12 years old, she was in grade 6. In sixth grade, most of the kids choose to be in two different groups. As it may seem, it IS girls and boys.

But this girl wanted everyone to be together. The other section of the sixth grade was exactly like what she wanted her class to be like.

Although she hated to compare her class with the other, she really wanted it. The other class was happier when all of them were together.

In her class, if a girl was with a boy, then everyone would laugh at them for the rest of the month, probably. ‘Anushka and Karthik sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-N-G’ is what they would say.

She shared her thoughts and views with her teachers and they thought that it was time that the class got together and did everything together.

 Very soon all the girls and boys had no barriers between them. They played together, and best of all they taught each other different games! Life was perfect for Banga and her friends.

Once she grew up and if she’d ever have kids, she would be proud to tell them about her childhood.
