Pandora’s Box
Sampriti De, Age 13
Why is the world filled
With grief and despair
As though the world’s turned
Into an evil-doer’s lair
Why is there such a thing
As hate in our hearts
I t is out to destroy us
Before realization starts
What is there to protect us
From terrorists and hijackers
With dangerous technology
Such as viruses and hackers
You may think ‘What’s
The mind behind the madness’
It can be anything,
From fate, greed, to self-indulgence
How can this have happened
Could it be a curse
Or is it the box Pandora opened
And saw all ill fate disperse
How can we overcome this
Steeply turning slope
Isn’t there anything in the box,
For something to give us hope
That’s right, you guessed it
It is hope, indeed
Giving us the vigor to cope
With the power which we may need.
Greed may get the best of us
And illness may come our way
But we still have hope, to prepare
Ourselves, come whatever may.
Healthily Falling Asleep
Novonil Banik Dhipro, Age 8
Once upon a time there was a penguin named Dr
I.M.A Penguin, M.D. Dr. I.M.A was a heart doctor.
He always told the animals to gobble less junk food
and more healthy foods. The animals always wolfed
down cheese, yogurt, fish, chicken, bread, pasta,
fruits, and vegetables. Dr. I.M.A Penguin munched
down those foods too.
One day, he marched into the refrigerator, so he could find
something to chomp down. But he was so sleepy that he fell asleep in
the refrigerator. When he woke up he saw a gigantic mess because he
had been sleep-walking.
Then Dr. I.M.A. Penguin cleaned it up. A door bell rang a
frog leaped in ate all the food and leaped right out. Dr. I.M.A. Penguin
was left with nothing to eat.
My Guardian Angel
Elena Dieci, Age 10
I look up in the sky and see a new star,
I know you are up there somewhere,
I know you are protecting and defending me,
You take as your greatest task, taking care of me.
I’m truly thankful to you
Today I know you at last –
For you’re soaking in every word I said,
Now, good night my sweet guardian angel!
I’m going happily off to bed.

Spring
Lydia Rainwater , Age 10
Winter is gone spring has come,
All the beauty around us has sprung.
Flowers bloom in a vase in my room,
And snow is melting away.
I hardly know it, but I can show it
April showers help the flowers,
May’s mosquitoes itch and sting,
But I have to say that’s spring.
March can be handy when it’s dandy,
And those are the months of spring!
