Written By Nayan Hazra (Grade 11)
In realms where satire gently weaves its tale,
A love unfolds, a passion without veil.
Beneath the moon’s soft, luminescent dance,
Two hearts entwined, a sweet, serenading trance.
In elegance adorned, your grace sublime,
A symphony of love, an endless rhyme.
Through satire’s lens, we find delight,
A laughter shared, a bond so infinite.
Your eyes, the stars that grace the night,
Reflect the warmth, an eternal light.
With every glance, a satire spun,
Yet in your arms, a love just begun.
Elegance, a cloak of silk you wear,
Each step a dance, a rhythm rare.
In nature’s embrace, our spirits twine,
An eloquent waltz, a love so fine.
So let our hearts, with satire’s art,
Paint a canvas of love, a work of heart.
In elegance, we find our sacred place,
A love that time can never efface.

This is very good Nayan! You have natural talent. If you want to get even more poetic power out of the English language, try to pay a little more attention to metre – you should choose whether to have 4 or 5 beats per line, and once you’ve made the choice, keep it consistent through the whole poem. A regular beat is what makes the music, the magic of a poem.
If you would like to read a beautiful and famous classic poem, which has a very similar message to yours, please search for “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, by John Keats. It is one of my absolute favourites, and surely among the best poems ever written.
Your phrases are very beautiful. Keep writing!
