PAINTING
With a slouched back, patched clothes and a worn- out bag,
The Ragman walks on the street.
With his broken slipper and rags,
In the scorching sun he lags.
He calls out to people for rags,
For it is the only way he can earn his meal.
Every time he gets a coin a rush of relief he feels,
Poverty – stricken is all what he reveals.
‘Ragman! Ragman!’ he hears a call,
A little girl waddles up to him for a small request that’s all.
As tall as a shrub she might be,
The goodies in the bag are all that she can see.
‘Ragman! Ragman!’ he hears a call,
‘The doll you are carrying seems mine after all’.
A shabby doll was dropping from the bag is all I could see,
But the little one saw a princess which she wants to be.
‘Ragman! Ragman!’ he hears a call,
‘The book you are carrying seems my favored after all’.
A book with a torn cover and yellow pages is all I could see,
But the little one saw a scholar which she wants to be.
Seeing the heart filled with pureness and fortitude,
The Ragman took the book and doll.
And handed it all,
In the tiny palms which hold a future which is high and tall.
Now the little girl smiles,
At what she possesses.
A princess what she wants to be,
And a scholar that she dreams to be.
I am Anura Parida, a 12-year-old creative writer currently studying in the 7th grade. Ever since I can remember, words have been my closest companions, and poetry has become my heartfelt expression.
Through my writing, I explore the tapestry of emotions that color my world – from the joy of friendship to the contemplation of life's mysteries.
Besides being a writer, I am an avid reader, devouring classics and contemporary literature alike, which helps me expand my creative horizons. Art, in all its forms, holds a special place in my heart, and I enjoy sketching and painting to complement my poetic musings. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing this beautiful world of creative writing with you all!
A new beginning awaits as the minutes pass into hours,
Hours into days, days into months and months to years.
When light meets the darkness, cool breeze blows,
Sun is preparing to set and the moon is trying to glow.
No more the sky remains spotless with twinkling stars,
Without any worry , mother earth goes to a deep slumber.
When day turns into night and two worlds kiss ,
One filled with memories and the other with bliss.
Beginning of warmth of the day (dawn) and coolness of night (dusk),
One is the beginning and the other is the end of graceful sunlight.
Everyone longs for peace whether it's day or night,
"GO TO YOUR FAMILY " you will find peace both in the dark and the light.
