The tsunami
In my first sight,
Thousands of people died.
“Run” was the only call,
Because the waves of thunder were on the fall.
Hustle bustle everywhere,
What to lose and what to dare?
I saw a baby beside a tree,
When I was running alone and free.
When I heard her appealing voice,
I lapped her up with her toy.
As we moved, we saw nothing,
But people lying like pins.
Homes were turned into sticks,
And sand was stuck in the bricks.
Irritating sounds made me cry,
My heart was forcing but what to try?
Oh my god! What a squander,
A hell occurred in the place of buds.
No one can light up the God’s dark.
Who had changed a garden into a graveyard?

Flowers
In the whole Earth, there are many types of flowers such as the lily
flower, the rose and the sunflower.
My best flower is the rose. I like it because it smells good and also
because it is the same as my name. I really like roses. The lily flower,
sunflower and rose all smell good, but I really love roses.
Roses are my best flowers on this earth.
