From the First Day of School, through Fall and Winter, to Homework: 5 Short Poems by Aishwarya Subramaniam


First day of school

New schedules 

New school year

New classes

Nervousness and cheer 

It will be the first day of school 



Fall

The leaves are orange 

The weather is cool 

School is in season 

Flannels and jeans 

Boots and sneakers 

Fall is serene 



Thanksgiving 

Give and get, 

Thankful for what you have

You have a nice feast 

Spend time with those closest to you 

Smiles all around the world 

Thanksgiving is a holiday about joy, it's true! 



Snowman

After the snow falls

You can make a new friend

Short or tall

Stacks on stacks of snow 

A carrot nose 

A bucket hat 

And three rocks for a face

A snowman has been made!  



Homework 

A student’s biggest responsibility 

Some students forget their homework at home,

Or it may get eaten by the dog 

Or it might not be done at all

Homework is a chance to get extra practice,

So next time when your teacher asks about your homework,

Don’t turn into an actress!
