Just One Earth!!!

By
The moment I step outside my door
I see the rubbish heap has grown a lot more
Holding my nose, I hurry away
Towards the little place where I thought the trees sway
But when I arrive, oh what a shock!
This place is as bare as a rock
There are buildings that seem to scrape the sky
Leaving back all green trees to die
Where all those flowers used to bloom
Are now just stories, full of doom
In not just one country, or a nation
In this century, every generation
Doesn't care about nature's beauties
They seem too busy with their own duties
If only people would realize
That Mother Earth has a definite size
It won't grow with the rubbish you throw
Or the attitude you show
So please, reuse, reduce, recycle
For short distances, use a bicycle
Stop throwing litter everywhere
And make sure people are aware
That saving the Earth is  everyone's job
And if we don't do it, we won't have a log

    It shows your pain for our Earth and also makes us realize our responsibilities.
    I'm sure your effort would change the attitude of people in your circle.

    I love this poem so, so much! You wrote it brilliantly! I really like the rhyming words, rhythm, effective word and especially the message you're trying to give, on how there's only one earth and we must be green (not literally green XD) to save it. In a nutshell, it's amazing! <3

    O.o This is so shocking! It shows us what we are doing to this earth (and there is only one of it!)!

Changes I would like to see in my country five years ahead

By
Hi readers! Here's another one of those essays that I mentioned I'd be sharing in here. This one was written on 12th April, 2016. The topic is mentioned below. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome! :) What changes would you like to see take place in your country in the next five years? Everything has some space for improvement, to strive to make it better, if not perfect. There are many changes that I would like to see take place in my homeland for it to improve. Firstly, I would like to see my country cleaner. The garbage disposal system of many places in Sindh, especially Karachi, which is the provincial capital, needs to be regenerated. The bio-degradable waste needs to be sorted and tackled accordingly, and the recyclable waste recycled. This change would not only be a relief to the common people, but also improve the country’s outlook. Secondly, I would like to see Pakistan greener than it already is. Although the province of Punjab, and Kash...

Short Story~The Storm

By
Here is a story that I wrote recently on a topic of a past O level paper. Please keep in mind while reading it that this is the third draft  of the story. Feedback would be taken seriously and appreciated. An instantaneous splash of water landing on the deck woke up the sailor. He leapt out of bed and hurried up to the deck, hoping that all was well. The situation was worse than he had anticipated. It was raining cats and dogs, accompanied by a very strong gale. The roar of thunder indicated the beginning of a storm. The bottom of the ship was already flooded about six inches deep with water and its level was increasing with the rain. The sailor quickly rang the siren for help and grabbed some buckets. Sleepy-eyed men came out of their cabins to help and he directed them towards the flooded area, where he handed out buckets and yelled out instructions. His voice was barely audible over the heavy rain and thunder, but they seemed to understand. They went to work at once, ...

Short Story: Laughter and Tears

By
Hey everyone! A few days ago I wrote a story, this time too, in response to a topic in an AS level English Language paper. Although the topic asked for a 'descriptive piece', what I wrote is more of a story (despite not following a proper story structure!) than a descriptive writing. Nevertheless, it is better than some of the other stuff that I wrote lately, so I'm posting it here. I would really look forward to any feedback and constructive criticism on it. Write a descriptive piece called Laughter and Tears . In your writing, create a sense of contrasting moods to help your reader imagine the scene. It was a hot afternoon and they were playing hide-and-seek in the house. This time she was “it”, and as she counted to hundred, they rushed into their hiding places, giggling and whispering. The innocent young girl, unaware of what life held in store for her, laughed as she rushed from room to room, spotting each one of her friends. She had been running down the ...
