Student Perspective

From a spine-chilling sea monster to a magical tempest on a mystical island, these student poems bring thrilling tales and classic stories to vivid life.

THE SPINE-CHILLY WARNING 

I once sat in an ecstatic seashore,
And never returned home anymore.
I picked up a flashing opal,
And eyed a jelly propel.
Suddenly I noticed an unearthly sound,
Which was the rustle of a scroll which was bound.
I then opened the scroll with all my might,
Tirelessly until the last second of the night.
The bound scroll read,
“Look above your head!”,
I then twisted my head up like a cheetah,
And then became I, who was filled with anti-euphoria.
A ripple of water splattered on my head,
“AAARGH!” I said,
A grey spine-chilling figure emerged,
The blues and blacks of the sky merged.
It’s hairs were swooping in the spooky air,
That was the moment I went agitated and blare.
It groaned like a valiant beast,
And then did my bones went greased.
The valiant beast had a tentacle,
Which was ultra-larger than a spectacle,
The tentacle crept closer to my nose,
Which seemed like my foe.
It rotated its eye suspiciously,
And I escaped curiously,
A whirl of a thunder was heard,
which was a raindrop herd.
I then thought to myself,
That this is a sceptical time to wander,
The seashore is very perilous
And an ominous storm is creeping near me. 

Tempest in a Poem

 In an Island far away,
Where magical creatures stray.
Lived Miranda and Prospero,
With magic, peace and sorrow. 

Prospero's nemesis arrives-
A grand big ship he drives  
Prospero is filled with rage,
He summons Ariel- a spirit so strange.

A disastrous storm hits
Caused by peculiar spirits  
Pitiful Miranda snapped  
Her father makes her understand  

Prospero reveals pasts of his kingdom.
Ariel wants freedom.
Ferdinand enchanted by magical music,
Miranda and him fall in love -how romantic

Meanwhile, the loss of his son- Alonso’s grieving.
“Cheer up” the other’s pleading.
Mischievous Ariel brings slumber to Alonso,
Antonio prompts Sebastian to murder his own bro.

They raise their swords all ready to kill, 
And vengeance is in the air still.
But Ariel ruins the mid snooze assassination,
He makes the two realise their sins. 

Trinculo- the jester, searching for land.
Stephano- the butler, washed up drunk on the sand.
Stephano pours into Caliban’s mouth- wine.
The booze acts up, about prospero he whines. 

Caliban praises Stephano calling him god,
Trinculo for one is quite shocked.
Caliban wants stephano to rule the island,
So he can be free of prospero - the tyrant. 

Somewhere else, Miranda sneaks out.
To meet her beloved, that’s no doubt.
Ferdinand seems to be noble.
Prospero doubts him because he’s royal. 

 Ariel warns Prospero of Caliban.
To stop him, they think of a plan.
Ariel lures them to a trap with new clothes.
None would’ve thought of that as a coax. 

Miranda and Ferdinand approach Prospero,
To talk their true love through .
For their marriage he agrees,
And arranges an event for them with glee. 

 In the meantime, Alonso and others face the blue.
Ariel gives them a talking to-
Disguised as a perilous harpy,
He makes them all feel guilty. 

 Alonso and Antonio finally find Prospero.
They apologise and express their sorrow.
Prospero’s grudges are finally gone,
Alonso’s happy to see his son.

Ariel finally gets his freedom, 
All of them go back to their kingdom.
Antonio, who was once a villain 
Now rules with Prospero - Milan.
