Holiday Is Here

Holiday is here
Holiday is here
Now let little genius jump and express his felicity
As he feel the breeze outside boarding school blow merrily
Oh! How long was spent in that chrysalis?
Rapped up with books and walls of the classes
Plethora instructions and some castigations
Now currently evanescent, gone are rhythmic exhaustions
A gemic position, such innocent treasure like a crown laden with sapphires
And the result, oh the talisman with remarks that shields stern scold of Father's
Jump! Jump! Be idyllic 
No more canes, bye to the bully
Now dream of Mother's dulcet songs and pets
(Dream of) the rhapsodic hugs, favorite foods and glee in the nest
(Dream of) the radiant flowers, fun with siblings and free Mondays
(Dream of) the lovely expectations and plays




Ten word challenge:  A poem using the following words:
plethora, evanescent, felicity, rhapsodic, idyllic, dulcet, chrysalis, radiant, sapphire, and talisman.

Dah I tink boarding school life is very tough n hard without family to turn to. I don't think I could send my kid to boarding school ever. Better hone school or day school in which u get to spend tine with the kid every day ah. Your poem was very awesome in diction n meaningful pietry which always impresses me. Esp liked the chrysallis metaphor. Great freeverse style too. Kudos. Pks do review my latest poem too.
