We went to an event called 'Creative Maths' as part of the Maths dept symposium. They asked us to write a poem related to maths.
Here is what I could come up with in 10 minutes.
Assemble all, from kings to pawns,
Everyone has their pros n cons;
Not a sword that will clatter,
Neither blood that will splatter;
A real world war is a bloody mess;
But, beauty describes best, a game of chess;
Were there a prince, his dad is a dummy,
The real savior is our mummy.
Through plus n cross, her wrath is seen,
All hail the mighty queen;
Oh what would they do without your help?
Be hit n defeated, they'd merely yelp;
Voila, another queen, this one of sciences,
Oh my dear math, what is a world without you?

The Sea Of Silence
Thus I stood, firm on the shore,
Thinking what could I possibly want more?
The water is lively, the sea and its waves,
The sound echoing through caverns and caves;
The waves plunge, drag me down,
In their arms, I'm a puppet clown;
Drowning and frowning, I can't even yell,
The sea of silence can put you through hell!
Now I stand on the shore again,
Lively, they look, these waves of pain,
Splashing at my feet, now will I complain?
It asked, "Did you only suffer?"
I said, "I learnt!" :-)

Early Morning
The calm of the sea disrupted,
Like an underground volcano blown off;
A sudden sound erupted,
My alarm had gone off;
Roll over, fall down, "Ouch!"
Forgot that I was on the couch;
Groping about, I search for my glasses,
"If not for attendance, would I go to classes?"
Like a Jedi I hold the bat,
The bloody mosquitoes are there to swat;
Above was intended a pun,
In an hour I'll be on the run.
Oh, the dreaded exam days;
Alters routines in weird ways;
But, in the end, its always "come-what-may"!
As for now, "Snooze button, you're the best invention ever!" HAHAHA :-D
