SUMMER VACATION

Trishna Sahoo

 

Hardly seven days in the school,

Ghost of Summer made the administrators fool.

 

On line classes started,

The horrible tale of COVID period reminded.

 

Vacation declared,

For outing, I was barred.

Fear of sun stroke injected into my mind.

I was imprisoned, given books of all kind .

 

I changed my hobby as a dancer,

I loved the cool swimming pool and became a swimmer.

 

 COVID had given me a friend, which was out of my mind.

 In the most boring summer it came to my help, it was so kind.

 

For being a friend of it , it was too costly.

 I remained under the vigilance of my parents and grandparents, not left a while.

 

 " What are you doing? What are you watching? How long will you watch ?", were the words of fight.

"You will become an addict and lose your eye sight. "

 

This struggle continued till yesterday. When I got the notice of opening the school, I danced with joy .

 

Trishna  ( Natuni ) , a class VII student of Sai International School, Bhubaneswar, born to engineer parents and doctor grandparents, is a gifted child . A disciplined and dedicated learner, she excels as a student, family member, orator , writer and a swimmer. She is blended with traditional and cultural values,  spirituality, science and arts .A nature loving girl, she has taken reading books and traveling as her hobbies. Her favorite dish is Chicken Biryani prepared by her mother . Her motto of life is , " NEVER BE A DEFAULTER ". May God bless her .

 


 

THE ELFIN HEAVEN

Anura Parida

 

Fear not a thing,

No need to let our hearts ring.

Mother Earth will never hurt us,

She makes us smile with her gifts,

To earn that smile just change the way you think.

Mother Nature looks beautiful when she cries,

You can trust me, I’m not lying.

Every drop of her tear is a blessing to Earth

Each tear gives a new life birth.

Mother Nature looks majestic when she freezes,

Looks like heaven is showering diamonds.

Turning the wind into a cold breeze,

A beautiful bonding of the mountain and onding.

Mother Nature looks passionate while running,

Caring about nothing coming.

Knowing she will break the cage holding her back,

Continuing to flow without breaking track.

Mother Nature’s birth was on a rocky planet called the Earth.

Chunks of it live to this date,

History of the unknown buried deep in its department,

Safely kept in Mother Nature’s chest.

A thousand million places are on the Earth,

Having the blessing of Mother Nature.

But out of all, there is one place that experiences all,

From high mountains covered with snow,

With rivers flowing from high to low.

Drenjong is the place to go,

The land of monasteries and snow.

Home to species you never know,

Amazing as it sounds,

The more stunned you will be when your feet touch its ground.

ONCE

Mrinalini Mallick

 

Once when I was a little girl

I looked up at the moon

It was round, grey and beautiful

And glowed like a big balloon

But now that I'm older

I see beneath it's glow

and if there's one thing life has taught me

Is that you never really know 

You never really know

what's underneath one's skin

what's hidden beneath their scars

what's hidden deep within

And the moon is a good example

of someone hiding behind a mask

because although it shines so brightly,

it keeps us in the dark

so one day I hope it tells me

All the stories of its past
