SONOROUS SONGSMITH

Poetry set to music and intended to be performed by a human voice is what we mean when we talk about songs.  Songs can have a profound impact on someone’s life. It stimulates the mind and makes learning more enjoyable.

Songs are a worldwide language using tones and rhythm and have the potential to be utilised just as successfully as any other form of text. They can serve as a source of language for the purpose of presenting and practising grammar and syntax, vocabulary and pronunciation, as well as the abilities of listening, reading, speaking, writing, and translation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) practices benefit India by addressing societal needs in healthcare, education, agriculture, smart cities, infrastructure, mobility, and transportation through dynamic data. AI can add one trillion to India’s economy by 2035. AI in journalism is also making a breakthrough.

It can improve news reporting’s general quality, efficiency, and accuracy. Be it the use of AI in TV viewing experience, radio broadcasting, streaming services, music creation, or the social media industry, it is setting the bar as a game-changer in predicting content preferences, content moderation, and user behaviour analysis.

Poems

Don’t Let Yesterday hold You Back

Published

Song

Sadaf
Class 5
Gitanjali Vedika School, Hyderabad
(Budding Writer attending Takhte’s Creative Writing Sessions-Mentor Ms Goldie)

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 1
Sunlight shines on morning dew,
A fresh day and a hopeful hue.
Let’s leave behind the darkness of night,
And step into the morning bright.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 2
Mistakes are made; Doubts may come up,
But let’s rise above to blow it up.
With every sunrise being a new start,
A fresh beginning with a new heart.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 3
Learn from the lesson and let go of the pain,
Make sure it doesn’t happen again and again.
It’s a fresh day, and a new hope is born,
A brighter tomorrow, in a brand-new morn.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away…
