December

Leaving behind the festive November

Comes the happy December

With the tasty cherries in bloom

And some surprises to consume

Here the ringing bells

See how the cake smells

Y eh! arrives Santa Clause

Welcome him with great applause

-Madhini

O Captain! My Captain!

We got an group activity "Poetry to the sound of music" in school. We were given this poem written by Walt Withman to be sung as a song in the class. We were divided into four students in a group. I decided the tune of this poem after listening the song "You may be" from the movie Aladin (hindi movie). We had a lot of fun during the practice. We made sheets to put signs and arrows where the musical notes go up and down. On the day of the activity we were very nervous. We knew it was not so big like any ceremony or competition but still we were a bit nervous. When our teacher called us up we went in front of the whole bunch of eager students with fingers cross. After we sung the teacher also clapped and appreciated us and said that she liked it very much. We were very happy.

O Captain My Captain
a poem by Walt Whitman



O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

My dream/I wish/Girl child

My dreams so great,

what to say?

I sleep so late 

Isn't a good way?

I see movies so scary,

while having a bowl of berry

I have dreams at nights

of soldiers and knights.

I read many stories, 

having many glories 

But I have more fun 

having dreams of buns. 

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x 

I wish to fly up into the sky 

I wish to live just like a bee 

I wish to have an apple pie 

I wish to have it just for free. 

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x 

If I was a girl child 

not so shy or a wild, 

I would have a lots of dolls 

from different types of malls 

I would have many dress 

not like boys so less 

If I was a girl child 

not so shy or wild. 

This poem is just an imagination of being an boy and to think of being a girl.
