Opening Day

   Opening Day! 

      Up with the sun
      I'm on my way,     
      Rushing to my school, 
      It's the opening day !
        
      Holidays are over 
      But I'm not at all sad. 
      Would you like to know 
       What makes me so glad ?

        New shoes,  new bag,
        My uniform is new; 
        New books, new class, 
        A new class-teacher too! 

        So everything is new 
        And that is really fine. 
        Yet, What's old, and goods as gold
         Are the good old friends of mine!

The Voice of The Rain

                                                                - by.   Walt Whitman  And who are thou? Said I to soft-falling  shower,  Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer,  as here translated: I am the poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain,  Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea,   Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely  from 'd,  altogether changed, and yet the same, I descend to lave the droughts,  atomies, dust-layers of the globe,  And all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn;                                    And forever, by day and night, I give back life to my own origin, ...

A Tiger in The Zoo

                        Poem of the day.                                                    by-  Leslie Norris                       He stalks in his vivid stripes      The few steps of his cage,        On pads of velvet quite,         In his quite rage,             He should be lurking in shadow,      Sliding through long grass      Near the water hole       Where plump deer pass.       He should be snarling around houses      At the jungle's edge,       Baring his white fangs, his claws,    ...
