This is a poem that I wrote after giving the Pre-Board exam for English. If you want to know what Pre- Boards and the exam pattern are, then read the next paragraphs, or else, jump right into the poem.
Basically, in India, a national level written exam for the students of class 10th and 12th are conducted for various subjects. It is important to clear this exam to be considered 'Pass' from school.
The official name for it is AISSCE or All India Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, commonly called, the 'board examination'. So, schools prepare the students by taking practice tests called 'Pre-boards'.
The test duration is 3 hours and the maximum marks for all the questions together is 80.
So, here is what happened in one such pre-board exam for English.
There stood the warrior
A thin, blue sword in hand
And there stood the dragon
In the kingdom of printed land
She wanted only the eighty scales
That the dragon so very cherished
Alas! One-eighth of a day it lasted
Thereafter, it just perished
The warrior fought on, brave and bold
Displaying immense skill
Little did she know of the peril
That was lurking still
The heavens decided to test her
And hence gave a silent blow
Neither her blood nor her sweat
Was it that began yearning to flow
Nature's call, as some call it
Willed her to leave the battleground
Blinded by Caesarian pride
She refused to go and only frowned
The heavens pushed on
And now that the time was nigh
When the dragon disappeared
She relented with a sigh
The battle was over
Only some scales could she clinch
Caught in foolish bravery
Twelve of them she failed to pinch
But now the warrior analysed
And realised what to do
Stood up again to train well
For the final rendezvous.
