A calm poem about the night sky. We only name the poem — every example here is our own — and use it to learn how poets paint with words: making word-pictures, using opposites (antonyms) like day and night, and choosing sense and describing words for a quiet scene. Tap each idea to begin.
Play with it
A poet can show the night using just words. Tap each idea to see how.
Learn
Give the opposite. bright → ? loud → ? awake → ?
bright → dark; loud → quiet; awake → asleep. These are antonyms.
Where you'll meet it
Looking up at night, you can describe what you see — the moon, the stars — with colour, sense and describing words.
Antonyms help you explain things clearly — “It was not loud, it was quiet.” You use them all the time.
Pick the night sky, add two quiet describing words and one word-picture, and you have begun your own calm little poem.
Check yourself
Eight quick questions that check the skill — word-pictures, opposites and sense words — not just remembering the poem.
Skill practice with our own original examples. The poem “Night” (NCERT Santoor, Class 3) is referenced by name only, never reproduced.
