My Beautiful Blue Bay

 I saw a butterfly on a rainy day,

It was flying on its way,

Towards the blue blue bay,

Which reflected the sun's ray.


Its wings were gray,

Merging with the bay,

"Oh lord," I pray,

"What a beautiful sight you showed me today."


The sky was yellow and a startling red,

I thought it was time to go to bed.

I looked at the clock,

But it was still 7 o'clock.


The wind was rushing with lots of might,

I couldn't take my eyes off the sight.

The butterfly was nowhere to be seen in the night,

I guessed it took flight at the wind's might.


It was a very, very dark night,

No stars were shining bright,

The bay was illuminated with bright light,

The only source of light that night.

I love the bay on a rainy night!

Human Robots

Just imagine, somewhere in the middle of California, students just staring into emptiness, but actually seeing a screen that other people can't; people cheating in exams without the examiner noticing a thing, though they were actually seeing a Titanium-coated optical metamaterial screen that others can't see, to look for answers. Dr. Michel Krage was immersed in this  project that had piqued the interest of the CIA. They were aware of his work, but the specifics remained a mystery. "Our children are displaying alarming behavior," Mr. Brindleworth urgently declared in a meeting." We suspect it's the work of a man who goes by the name Dr. Krage. He appears to be implanting something in the kids without their knowledge, but we're at a loss as to how or why." "I've also heard that he is working with an accomplice," the head of the CIA, John L. Ratcliffe, said, "find out more and report in a week. Now, it might only be a handful of kids...

My Wish To Santa

I go to bed, Nice and early, Hoping Santa would come here instead, Of skipping my community entirely. Down below, beneath the tree, I kept mince pie and orange juice for thee, Wishing you wouldn’t prove my biggest fear, Of abandoning the carrots for your reindeer. Up, I wake, On Christmas Day, Sliding down the rail; Dead stop before the tree, The disappointment made my knees go weak. I think back to the many letters I wrote to you, Asking for a yo-yo and not for free. You made my biggest fear come true, Abandoning the food under the tree. Slowly, I start to wonder: What makes you miss my house? Maybe it’s the mess, Or my lift’s access. Maybe it’s the snack. Maybe you don’t like it. So next year, if you come back, I’ll make sure it isn’t it. What do you think of choosing yourself? What do you want for you and your elf? In my gadget, choose what you wish. It’ll be there in an instant, as long as you fulfil my wish.

The What-ifs

"What if I fall off a tree?" "What if I get stung by a bee?" "What if I sink in the pool?" "What if I am made a fool?" These are, for some people, The biggest monsters of their brain. These make their mind cripple, And their daring spirit would drain. For others, these may become their greatest heroes, For these unruly thoughts do not disrupt them. They have the ability to to think past this chaos, And that destroys them.
