The Jasmine flower

The Jasmine Flower

In a midst of spring leaves

a fragile bud awaits

for the sun's bright light

to let it open its ways

This delicate flower of white and gold

grows slowly and carefully

strong and bold

This jasmine is powerful

This jasmine is free

I smell its aroma all around me

From the first crisp spring day

to the icy cold of a winter wing

This flower stays open
from dusk to dawn

With its silky petals
it stays open all along

This gentle spray
of
cream and yellow

Makes me feel
calm
and
mellow

The Beautiful Tree's 

As a little weed it used to grow

one by one the leaves started 

to show

later the bark made it's way

now we see it everyday

How beautiful, how strong

it's trunk is so long

It had been around for several years

now we see it 

crystal clear

It gives a feeling of peace 

it also lets us breathe 

with ease

What would I do if it wasn't there

That is a fear I cannot bear 

-Husna Farukhi

Butterfly, Oh Butterfly

Butterfly, Oh Butterfly

Who flies in the sky

Spreading it's colorful wings 

So beautiful, it could make you sing

Butterfly, Oh Butterfly 

I can never get close to you,

No matter how hard I try

The beauty in you

Makes me want the things you have too

Like your excellent colors and amazing spots

You are smaller than a bag of Motts

But you are a rainbow, I must say so

Butterfly, a Oh Butterfly

You are my majestic bird

If someone says otherwise,

They are obsurd!

If I compare you to a flower, 

It is a wonderful tie

You are my butterfly 

Butterfly, Oh Butterfly

Poem Of the Gate By Sophia Baqal

The gate has closed
Now all I see is broken glass
Shattered on the grass
And kept itself a secret
Before the beauty
had unfolded 
I kept my knowledge unspoken
I was as free as a bird
And as light as a feather
Until the gates had closed...
I stopped
And went upside down
I then stood up
and..
Now the chapter reopened
And I climbed the top of
a mountain
And gave my kindness of knowledge
All you need is a little bit love
Now the gate has opened 


-Sophia Baqal

A Simple Tree

     A Simple Tree

A Tree

A peaceful soul

Never bothered anyone

Not even a mole

A important part of our lives

We don't even notice why

Giving us natural life support 

Then we cut down trees and then export

We are never thankful
Nothing is ever suffice

We are too full of pride

We don't even see

How we effect theses trees
We are so blinded and lame

Now ask yourself this question 

And answer truthfully

Have you ever cared about a single tree

And give them a helping hand

Be planting seedlings
Handful by hand

 Make the trees happy

C'mon share and care

Make the earth a better place

For you and the human race

- Sarah Khalid

Jasmine flowers

Jasmines are rare
You can find them anywhere
But as you can see
Jasmines grow on a tree
They're green
They're white
They're radiant tonight
When you stare at the tree so long
You'll notice the Jasmine sprouts on the tree, which is where they belong
They smell so amazing
They often leave me gazing
I see jasmines everywhere
wherever I go
Here or there
They often get more beautiful
The longer I stare.

An Empty Court

An Empty Court                                                                                                    By: Yasmeen Serhal

tn empty court in the breeze
the ball is bouncing without a soul
an empty net against a pole
the ball on his knees
with nothing aloft
and no one outside
the empty court
with no one aboard
but wait!
its no too late
when the bell rings
and the birds sing
the people pour out
the kids start to play
they play all day
the empty court
is not empty anymore
