"A learner in every step"
This piece was written by Nur Syafiqah Basiran of Pre University 2 '2009
She won 1st place
A caliph I am born to be, an oath I did take
because I live in this world a moment too short
I am a learner, in every step i take..
I have learned that everyday is a new day
and with it comes new challenges and experiences
therefore I am a learner, in every step i take..
I have learned that every little faults are worth making
as much as every mistakes are worth correcting
therefore I am a learner, in every step I take..
I have learned that tears are mostly a sign of hurt
but not all smiles are a sign of happiness
therefore I am a learner, in every step i take..
I have learned that smiling is inexpensive yet is priceless
for with it, the warmth of love and happiness is spread
therefore I am a learner, in every step i take..
I have learned that choosing how i feel is beyond me
but i can choose what i do about it, nevertheless
therefore I am a learner, in every step i take..
I have learned that every beginning has an ending
and the ending of the dark night is the light of breaking dawn
therefore I am a learner, in every step i take..
And a caliph I am born to be, responsible for all my act
an oath to serve my supreme God, Allah, I did take..
Till I breathe my last, I am a learner, in every step I take..
"My private gateway"
This piece was written by Muhammad Abdul Mateen from Secondary 3.2 '2009
He won 2nd place
A private stretch of golden sand,
bordered by palm trees, tall where stand.
A continuos barrage of dark blue waves,
alongside dark and mysterious, pitch-black caves.
A cluster of pure white clouds, floating in the sky,
out of hands' reach, at an altitude so high.
A timeless place where you can mend,
a timeless place where worries end
This last piece, was written by Abdul Muiz.
He won 3rd place
Living in a home very stylish,
sharing it with a tenant,
speaking using good English,
that's very important.
Buying a new bulb,
with the shape of a fish,
S.E.A is a club,
promoting good English
Buying wholemeal bread,
its good to eat,
Don't be afraid,
English, just speak it.
MARHA MARHA! TO ALL OF THEM..
HOPE WE'LL GET TO MEET MORE BUDDING POETS LIKE THEM :)
