Gautam R.AmazingWhen I was young in India, I visited one of the oldest temples in the land. It was filled with vibrant colors that were so bright, it made you dizzy. On the inside, the walls were lined with powerful Hindu gods that were adorned with shiny jewelry.
When I was young in India, I went to a mountain resort that was so high up, I caught the clouds in a jar. I learned how to horseback ride, but I was so eager to start that I couldn’t control my horse for a while. When I was young in India, I dashed through the maze of ramps that held up my grandparents’ retirement home with my sister to see who could make it to the bottom first. I felt exhilarated in the humid air. When I was young in India, I woke up in my other grandparents’ apartment to the sound of honking cars and people screaming for other people to get out of the way. To me, it’s music to my ears. My grandma makes me some milk and breakfast. When I’m in India, I don’t want to go anywhere else, for I was in India, and that was always enough. |
The Homework Monster
The Homework Monster
Is a sight not to see,
With red glowing eyes, and knobbly knees!
It sneaks up in your mind,
And pulls out that thought, that ensures all your homework
Isn’t forgot!
The next day morning,
You get out of bed,
Not knowing that you had something
Taken from your head!
O, beware the Homework Monster,
With its dark red skin,
You’re going to switch
Which bed you sleep in!
O beware the homework monster,
With its stumplike body,
Its triangle head,
You’re going to wish
That you’d protected your bed!
