I'm hot stuff and I know it
AP: Honorable Mention 2026, Honorable Mention 2026
Walk with me holding hands in forest green
Breathing in the jasmine wind
Like blue jay’s song soul sings
Psalm that lift hearts to heaven where love mends
Curing cabin fever mountain a fountain free
Flowing glowing where love and nature blend
Together united so peacefully
Butterflies dotting blue sky
Living fulfilling wildest dreams gleefully
Making memories to treasure for life
Keeping us warm even when cold
On one knee asking to be my wife
For you complete my longing soul
Anywhere you are I want to go
I need this kind of peace
Where the light clouds
Is above the black clouds
Not too hot, but temperate
Feeling, touching cool wind
Touch my tan skin and brush my hair
I stand in a place where I am level
My eyes to see below my gaze
The green mountain far across wide
The sea is at left below my eyes
And the houses so tiny scatter at the right
Leading to the long highway side the beach
Here at this balcony of a resort view
All the nature and human life is in my gaze
It's nice to be on the top of the world
It's a good freedom and a quite liberal in thinking.
Oh how it feels to be on top of the world
Unstoppable energy, immovable joy
To feel that nothing could take you down
Unbreakable confidence, starlit dreams
To being taken down by the woes of depression
Just a few thoughts, just a few cuts
Back to the bottom of the ladder you go
Destroying everything, confidence shattered
Oh how it felt to be on top of the world
Climbing back up again, rebuilding the stairs
Is there a more powerful force than the claws of depression?
Sinking into me, never letting go

On top of the world, I stand so tall,
Feeling the wind and hearing the call,
A sense of freedom, a rush of joy,
As if I can conquer all and be coy.
The view from here is panoramic,
The clouds above, looking dramatic,
The Sun bright and shining so bright,
I feel like I'm in an alternate sight.
From up here, everything seems so small,
The problems, the issues, fixable all,
I feel like I can reach for the stars,
Embracing the world with open arms.
The mountains bow down in reverence,
As I revel in this magnificent ambiance,
I am the king of this world, this land,
And nothing can ever diminish my stand.
On top of the world, I dance with glee,
Floating with happiness, wild and free,
This feeling of euphoria, hard to restrain,
As I blissfully scream out my name.
This moment, so perfect, so surreal,
A life-altering experience, one to feel,
On top of the world, I found my place,
And nothing can ever replace that grace.
Armed with the strongest wings flying
until I can look down from the top
at a flame as it ignites a better world;
A blazing change transforming our world
human innovation leaves hope flying;
Smoke so dense you cannot see the top ;
New era, changing the view of the top;
Unity, a vision for a better world;
Reality changed by dreams flying
I will be flying on top of the world.

on top of the world
down next moment flat out
~ peaks and valleys
I built a house On Top of The World
Standing on the Earth
With the world beneath my feet
The stars were playing about me
No cheating, no deceit.
Health hazards were not dreamt of
No fighting nor disease
Everywhere i looked about
Was blue and green and peace.
No Russians, no Americans, no Indians or no race
The feeling of humanity has no such ugly face
There wont be any terror strikes nor will i see no wars
Moneys never needed here so i take a breath and pause.
Was I Gods chosen angel
Or just a lucky girl
With foundation deep in human soil
I built a house on Top of The World.
Poem by: Farrah Veronica Sinha
I am on my way to happiness today
I am on my way to what I wanted from this world, dear
I took a right,a right turning for the best, yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your hometown.
I took the bus,to streets that I could walk down,
I walked those streets to find what I've looked for,
And climbed the stairs that led me to your front door,
And I'll do my best,I'll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet,from jumping up and down from the ground,
To keep my heart,from jumping through my mouth, my dear,
And now,that I don't want for anything anymore,
I'd have Al Joison,sing,"I am on top to the world"
And it's all because of you,because now,I do have you,
In my life forever and ever, my sweet Dear.

I'm sitting on top of the world
You've certainly heard this before
But in my case it ain't just a happy old song
It's about love and so much more
Bout friendships and family and happiness
Bout the simple joys that abound
Think about all the good things you have
Be happy you're still above ground
Happiness is really easy to attain
It depends on what's up in your noggin
Think negative and life will always be negative
Thinking happy is like riding a toboggan
You'll have a blast and not only that
You won't feel the cold weather outside
It could even be minus twenty-five degrees
You'll be warm and cozy inside
Okay this is my own philosophy on living
A happy and joyful existence
Whatever you give, you get back in spades
It makes for a joyful existence

Maybe I've said some things
I shouldn't have
Maybe I've done some things
That weren't very "Young lady like"
But I'm not a young lady
I'm just a girl
I'm a teenager
I want to just live life for now
I have my best friends behind me
And the one I love next to me
Just let me be me
Let me be
On top of the world
one more sunless day. . . .
snow-white furry creatures are
on top of the world!

TOP OF THE WORLD ~ HAIKU~ Poetry Contest
He wants you to be on top of the world,
Not of it.
He wants you to know His Word,
So chose to study it.
He wants to be your guide,
When you travel the world’s pit.
He wants you to be strong ,
So that you won’t fall in it.
He wants you to know right from wrong,
So that you can teach it.
He wants you to be on top of the world,
Not of it.
