- Line 1: One word (the title, usually a noun)
- Line 2: Two words (describing the title, usually adjectives)
- Line 3: Three words (showing action, usually verbs)
- Line 4: Four words (expressing a feeling or a complete thought)

About the young poet:
My name is Aarohi Kabra, I am 10 years old, studying in grade six, at Sanskriti the Gurukul. I live in a state of the seven sisters, Guwahati, Assam, where Bihu is our traditional dance. Guwahati is known for the famous Kamakhya Mandir. I have plenty of hobbies, but my favourite ones are singing 🎶, dancing, writing stories/ poems, and playing sports like cricket 🏏, swimming 🥽, and badminton 🏸. My favourite colour is blue 💙. I write poems in my free time, enjoying every word, writing about the feelings I have for others or myself. My favourite subject is English. I also like knowing people, exploring the whole world 🌍. I have travelled to many places outside India like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Nepal and Bhutan. I am looking forward to exploring places I dreamed of like Paris, Kuala Lumpur, South Korea, Barcelona and Vietnam✈️!!
