Gatha Akashkamini - the poet!

Got our school magazines last week and just discovered that one of my articles is also printed......

My Best Friends, Books!

Reading books is a good habit,

They increase our vocabulary.

And if you try to run away,

You’ll never get helped in glossary.

I started reading at the age of five,

My favourite books are many,

And my favourite writers, you can say,

Can be any!

I like reading books of Roald Dahl,

And Ruskin Bond too,

From short stories to novels,

All contained in a book or two. 

Enid Blyton is a great favourite,

Where naughty Amelia Jane and Famous Five,

With the Secret Seven,

Help the children to be full of life.

Matilda and BFG teach us good habits,

BFG, the sweetest giant you would ever see,

And Matilda has supernatural powers,

She could open a door without using a key!

If you are fond of chocolates,

You can go for some chocolaty books,

Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,

Where Mr. Wonka shows us his weird looks.

You can go back to the ‘Monsoon Time’,

With Ruskin Bond and his Potpourri,

Where you can go fishing with Robert Astley,

And listen to Binya and Rusty’s love story!

You can visit the fairies on the fairy hill,

And dig the garden with ‘Dukhi’, the gardener

And read how, Susanna,

Who killed her 7 husbands, became a murderer!

You can go to Hogwarts for some magic,

With Harry Potter and his friends.

J.K. Rowling makes the magic come alive,

With some magic tricks following the trend.

So friends, you’ve got a lot to choose from,

Just tell your parents to buy a book for you.

It is better than a movie ticket,

For which you have to stand in a long queue.
