Poets’ Corner
Christmas is a time for love
Christmas is a time for love; a time for joy and peace;
A time to trim the Christmas tree and a time to stuff the geese.
It's a time when we can come together, however far or near;
To shed a little hope into a world of sorrow and fear.
Yet Christmas could be all year 'round, if only we would try
To gently wipe an old man's brow or soothe a baby's cry.
If we could smile throughout the year as we do on Christmas Day;
Just think what happiness we'd shed along life's weary way.
To give a gift of hope to one who otherwise has none;
To be a friend to somebody whom everyone else has shun.
To be forgiving of our faults, and of our sisters and our brothers;
To live in peace and harmony with ourselves and with each other.
Ah, don't you see that Christmas is more than opening up the gifts;
It's more than singing Christmas Carols and rolling in big snow drifts.
It's a feeling that can stay with you throughout each day, all year;
And all it takes is a loving heart.....and a sensitive little tear...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Aiman Irfan
O Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Children singing merry songs;
Birds chirping jolly songs;
Mothers shopping at the mall;
Shows being held in the hall;
Christmas trees all decorated and glowing;
This is the season of snowing;
People wearing warm sweaters;
Giving gifts to each another;
Church bells being rung;
Colourful stockings being hung;
Delicious foods being made;
Glasses and plates being laid;
Houses full of visitors;
Eating packed crispies;
Building shining brightly;
People welcoming each another kindly;
Scent of beautiful flowers being smelt;
Burnt candles beginning to melt;
Children all well dressed;
And looking in their best;
Families enjoying all throughout the day;
All these lines give one message to all of you;
O, Christmas! O, Christmas!
What a joyful day;
This is the song which should be sung in your heart
And all throughout the day;
O, Christmas! Merry, Christmas!

Winter days
In winter days the air is very cold
But people patiently hold
Winter days comes in a year
People want this information to share
In winter the air is biting
But some people want to decorate the house and do lighting
Every where the snow falls
But people do not close the shopping malls.
Weather of winter is very good
There are no trees and no wood.

I love to do... I hate to do
I love to end something but I hate to begin it
I love to win a game but I hate to play it
I love to be an artist but I hate to draw
I love to help the poor but I hate to give away money
I love to make new friends but I hate to be dumped
I love to stand second in the class but I hate rote learning
I love to eat food all the time but I hate to get fat
I love to run and win races but I hate to pull my feet apart
I love to go to schools but I hate to get up early
I love travelling but I hate to get tired
I love to tease my siblings but I hate to see them cry
I love to be appreciated but I hate to do something worth it.

A witch’s daughter
Once there was a witch
She was very old
And was very rich
With a lot of gold
She had a daughter
Who was very good
But the witch wanted her to be slaughtered
In the wood
In the night when she went to bed
Her mother sat beside her
And thought the daughter should be dead
And made plans for it
The next morning when the daughter awoke
She saw fire
And lots of smoke
She became angry and decided to go to Yorkshire.
