1. ‘Hurray! It’s Diwali!’ by Naisha Kumar, Class VI B
Hurray! It’s Diwali!
The festival of lights.
Diyas and rangolis,
Decorate our colourful nights
We worship goddess Laxmi,

To bless us with wealth,
No worries will come to us then,
Neither to our family, nor to our health.
We make rangolis and light diyas,
To decorate our houses.
We go shopping for hours,
To bring things of our choices.
We burn crackers,
But they cause pollution.
We’re creating a great disaster,
Because for it, there’s no solution.
So let’s take a resolve,
To celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali this year.
Let’s burn no crackers
For there are more ways to make folks cheer!
2. ‘Diwali’ by Shubhi Mittal, Class VI A
Diwali is popping,
We all are shopping,
Cleaning the house,
Chasing the mouse.
Cleaning the rooms,
With new brooms.

Rooms were painted red,
But we forgot the bed.
All are in a good mood,
To eat delicious food.
Mom, let me press,
My new dress.
Up went the rocket,
and landed in a boy’s jacket,
He wept and wept,
Till he slept.
But soon he woke,
And started to joke.
We gave him a toy,
And again there was joy.
When he put a rocket on flame,
Back into the house it came.
He was the one who got all the blame,
He promised never again to do the same.
Because crackers are a waste
And we burn ourselves in haste!

There is happiness in the air,
People’s hearts skip a beat.
They are coming home early,
To go shopping which is fair,
And to make their houses neat.
People living left or right,
Will have their homes decorated with lights,
But is it really a must,
For us to buy firecrackers to burst?
We’ll all buy sweets,
And share it with people we meet,
We’ll donate blankets, clothes and food,
In order to change the poor people’s mood.
