The Sky is God’s House
I could see the curly white clouds
in the sky that is so high.
The clouds are proud, as they
can wander all over the sky. Far
below the sky, several tall trees
are standing on earth. The trees
are swaying beautifully, when
breeze is flowing.
When the sun rises behind the hill,
it looks beautiful in the sky. And
the visions of northern sky gives
brilliant lights on high. The birds
are flying and they move freely
around the sky. As the clouds
nestled in the sky, they always try
to hide the sun. The cloud which
moves around the sky, changes
and it shines. My heart leaps up
when I see a rainbow in the high
of sky. The beauteous shades of
colours paint a picture in canvas
of sky. The gentle moon appears
silently around the sky at night.
We can see thousands of stars
are looking down on earth.
And they are twinkling always
in the sky at clear night.
The sky is God’s house whose
ceiling is blue and is uncurbed.
The Scenery of a Valley
In the early morning, I went to visit
a valley in autumn season.
This is the season to enjoy, after
summer and before winter. I
saw some restless birds moving
all over in search of food.
It was a foggy atmosphere with
dew settling on my thin skin.
The stars looked like pieces of
orange coating the entire sky.
The sun rays and the gentle
winds make the valley bright.
The forest of valley glows in
autumn, spreading its colours.
I was walking while listening to
the melodious voice of birds. I
climbed to the top of the hill to
see the glimpse of beautiful view.
I could see valley is surrounded
by mountainous landscape.
While walking, I could hear
murmuring sound of the trees.
The green field of low land below
the hill was looking bright. I
could see corn fields and green
grasses covered with dew.
I could see many marvellous
sights of that beautiful place.
Activities of Birds
Birds live on trees, in nest,
in the house, in cages.
Birds are blue, yellow,
red, white, black, etc.
Birds came to the ground
to hop and walk happily.
Birds drink dew from
the abundant grass.
Bird search for worms
in muddy grounds.
Birds hopped from one
place to another place.
Birds flap their wings
and they fly away.
Bird feeder sprinkles seeds
to them on the ground.
Birds find it hard when
days are dark and cold.
Birds fly, spreading their
wings across the sky.
Birds fly the whole day and
then go to the nest.
Birds take rest in their
nest comfortably.
Birds are flying without
a care through the air.
Birds fly quite unsteadily
when winds blow.
