Poesy
Song:
Everyone burst out singing
And I felt such a delight
As a caged bird finding freedom and
Flying wildly across the whites.
Oceans and dark green fields
And out of sight
Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted
And beauty shone like the setting sun.
My eyes were filled with tears and horror
All of them drifted away
Everyone was a bird
The singing was worthless.
— Prateek Thapa, Class VIII, Asian Public School, Kathmandu
Books:
I like my book
I will keep my book neat and clean
I will not tear my books
As books are also god
I will cover them neat and clean.
I will keep my book
In my bag or rack
And do my classwork and homework.
— Binu Lama, VS Niketan, Kathmandu
Goodbye:
Believe in yourself
Have faith in you
No matter what you do
I will still be with you.
Keep smiling
Even when you are sad
Remove that unhappy expression
And be happy just like that.
My best wishes
To you my dearest
Pavement of success
Love and happiness.
Saying it aloud
With all my heart
Saying goodbye
Hurts a lot.

Land of Buddha
Gift of the brave Gorkhalis
Zone of peace
Situated between India and China
It is my country Nepal.
Sagarmatha, roof of the world
And the beautiful Himalayas
All are found here
In my motherland Nepal.
Nepal is a wonderful
place
Where Buddha’s birth
took place
Who got knowledge in Gaya
And is known as the Light of Asia.
— Aashma Adhikary, Class VI, GEMS, Lalitpur
Fish:
One, two, three, four, five
Once I tried to catch a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again.
Why did I let it go?
Because it pricked my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
A little finger on my right.
— Shiristi Shrestha, Class IV, Children’s Heaven School, Kathmandu
Preparation:
For your examination
Study with concentration
Study the entire day
And there is no play
Study all day long
Eat to be strong
Never resort to cheating
Or you will get a beating
If you do well
You will get it
Otherwise you will fail.
— Prakrit Manandhar, Class V, Shuvatara School, Kathmandu
