First Day Poem by Noorie Ali

On the first day of every beginning
We all “wonder” if we will do ok.
Whether it be the first day at school, exam or whatever the
Catch knows.

We shake like weak limbs.
Furious monkeys, to colourless chased parrots.
To, a moth,
On, light.

Running in multi-directions
To calm snaky, nerves.

A jester. frozen, to mirror.
Piling, the unseen, outlooks,
In, an empty jar.

We scream the “What If”.
In our brainpower that closed doors of, confidence.

Seeing, a glower, from each angle.
As we walk on by holding both hands
Back to back,
On, the first day
Of every,
Beginning.



We fall out of our state.

Clocks chime,
As the noise;
Gathers, loud...
Louder, Then little children crying’

We breathe tons
Heavy, on instrumental, beats.
Screech until we finally
Walk out as dark skies enlighten the ray
To, Shine.
At, midnight.
When all mankind is dead.
