Pretty Diyas light up the place,
Rockets vanish without a trace,
Be it night or be it day,
It's crackers, sparkles all the way!

Filled with fun and happy sights,

We visit both far and near,
Wearing all our grandest clothes,
Diwali must come twice a year.

Lit are the tiny lamps
Lighting up all the camps
White-washed beautifully
House look too nice truly
Crackers of many kind
At shops do we find
Variety of food prepared
With the guests is too shared
At Diwali, shunning anger
All do hug one another

11. English Poems On Diwali For Kids
It's the occasion to throng the temples,
Pray to the Gods and give them offerings
It's an opportunity to entreat the deities
To bless us all and rid us of sufferings.
It's the day to light the divas,
Ignite the rockets and burst crackers,
But it's also the time to be safe,
From the fireworks and all the sparklers.

As echelons of zillion lights adorn,
And echoes of triumph and thunder swarm,
Watching even a tiny gleam perform,
Devoring ill,
Sparkling joy despite forlorn,
Exhorts a hearty & happy year merely born

Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That grand festival of Lights
That ends evil after a protracted fight
When good with all its might
Leads us from darkness to Light.
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That great festival of sound
When crackers and laughter abound
When crackers and sparklers light up the sky
When delighted children jump with joy.
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That gorgeous festival of snacks and sweets
Where everyone enjoys a royal feast
When old and young with delight meet
With love and affection all hearts beat.
Diwali is here, Diwali is here
That gracious festival which celebrates victory
The ancient festival of myth and mystery
That is mentioned in both mythology and history
The festival that signals Triumph over Tragedy.

14. Beautiful Happy Diwali Poetry
Today's the Festival of Lights' all o'er
A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls
And people throng the Temples to offer,
Prayers, resolving to take better roles.
And most of them are richly clad and clean,
And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on Earth!
But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?
Denied of laughter, smiles for days;
Today's the triumph of Good over bad;
But what about the wastage in much ways?
True joy is when you see someone else smile!
True charity gives joy in Heavenly style.

15. Diwali Short Poems For Kids
Denied of laughter and smiles for days,
They know not what it is to enjoy,
Can you not share something you have,
Can you not bring them a little joy?
When you can make someone else smile
When you can be someone's ally
That's when you can yourself be glad
That's when you'll have a HAPPY DIWALI.
