Rhyming words 
Rhyming words are words that 
have the same ending sounds. 
Examples of rhyming words are 
cat, hat, bat, mat, fat and rat
Word picture 
Word picture a vivid description in 
writing. 
Eg: a broken winged bird 
a barren field with snow
WORD PICTURES IN THE 
POEM DREAM 
 The broken winged bird that cannot fly 
 A barren field frozen with snow
HOLD FAST TO DREAMS 
FOR, IF DREAMS DIE 
LIFE IS A BROKEN-WINGED BIRD 
THAT CANNOT FLY 
The first stanza compares a life without dreams to a 
"broken-winged bird." A broken-winged bird's life has no 
purpose, much in the same way a life without dreams has 
no purpose.
HOLD FAST TO DREAMS 
FOR, WHEN DREAMS GO 
LIFE IS A BARREN FIELD 
FROZEN WITH SNOW 
The second stanza compares a life without dreams 
to a "barren field frozen with snow." A field is 
created for the purpose of providing life. A barren 
field does not fulfill its purpose. A life is created to 
give and provide life to others. A life without 
dreams does nothing.
Barren Land
Frozen land =turned into ice
MY DREAM 
How I wish to be 
A good cricketer ! 
How I wish to be 
A good batsman! 
But my friends. 
Find no batsman 
In a boy like me. 
‘Tom, today you are the opener’ 
Said my teacher gently 
I did open batting 
Smartly did I score a fifty.
Slogan 
There is nothing like a dream to create the 
future 
You have to dream before your dream can 
come true
