Aaditya Shukla, Class IX E
(Prompt: On the lines of ‘Wind’ by Subramania Bharati, write a poem about a naughty cousin coming to visit you.)
Don’t pull my hair,
Don’t scratch my face,
Don’t throw the food,
Don’t open the case.
Alas! You did all that,
But I know you are good at heart.
You are too cute to dislike,
I love you, you are the dearest.
Your mischiefs make my day,
Though all goes wrong,
I hope you stay for days,
Your vacation is long.
My brother, you are dear to me,
I love you from the core of my heart,
I hope you keep smiling forever,
And grow up to be strong.
Though small, you teach a lot,
To be happy, to be steadfast,
To be secure and firm,
And raise your flag up the mast!
