Juan Lenju
I am Juan Lenju, brother of Julian Lenju. I am in the fourth grade at Dawn International School. I am nine years old, kind and friendly, and looking out for adventures. I like making new friends, swimming, playing football and drawing. I sketch very fast and most of my drawings end up like cartoons. That is what my grandma says. I am happy helping others and animals and even insects. I like learning new things and even languages. I communicate in Hindi with my sibling, which only we understand. Sometimes, I create on-the-spot short stories and recite them to the amazement of my granny, who says it is spoken word poetry. My aim, now is to become a footballer. I also like to make people around me laugh and smile. I like being called Dany, which is my pet name.

Anura Parida
The hill looks greener,
The once barren autumn branch,
Now pink lover like the dreamer.
Like scattered pieces of love on a green patch,
Eyes half open I scramble onto a crooked path.
The rays of sun haze my eyes.
My feet slipping and moist from the river side sand.
I heard a very cheery cry,
The voice I heard very similar to mine.
Though I know not if it is mine this time.
It seemed to come from far away,
It came out happy as if she was twirling with joy,
The birds chirp along her laugh with such coy.
Her smile brighter then the sun, done by many few.
The softness of her eyes like that of honey dew.
All of a sudden I feel very still,
I wonder what happened until,
My eyes flew open.
The scene in front of me not very new,
But I feel something role down my cheek, something like honey dew.
I am Anura Parida, a 12-year-old creative writer currently studying in the 8th 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!
