Dazzling Dances and Dolphins
By: Sona Shah
Jumping, laughing, smiling,
As the graceful bodies move swiftly
The dazzling bodies shimmer through the water.
The dancers glitter on the stage,
The choreographer smiling joyously,
At the sight of the wonderful performance.
The calls for help
When a shark is about to attack
Penetrate throughout the water,
As other dolphins gather around
And save the poor dolphin.
The jingling of the jewelry
From jump to jump,
The shouts of happiness
With each step taken.
As the dolphins do magnificent jumps and stunts,
As dolphins glide above the water,
You hear the beautiful dives
Going back under the water.
Gladly playing with the others,
Curving your lips upwards
Smiling only through the performance,
But having endless fun.
A Joyous Time
By: Sona Shah
Six-o-clock am
And I am awake
Down the stairs,
Something awaits me
The shiny wrapping paper
Glittering with the lights
Like a star in the night
Waiting to tear the paper
And look to see
What has been hiding under it.
The smell of fresh baked cookies
Fills the air,
So I grab one.
The softness and warmth
Finds its way into my stomach.
And to top it off,
The apple cider trickles
Down my throat, and
Fills my body with warmth.
The happy and cheerful noise
Of my family laughing and playing,
With the music softly playing:
“I’m Dreaming of a white Christmas”
You run to the fireplace,
Where your stocking hangs.
A small, brown and furry object
Sticks slightly out of the top
Trying to guess what it is.
Never stopping for a moment:
Only eating
And unwrapping presents
And laughing
While my mind fills
with cheerful thoughts.
