In my Street

My life is a street

There you can find everything, nothing, something

I've seen a man asking for food

Another one who needed company.

Now, you can travel around the world

Looking for a solution

But it has always been with you!

Come to my street,

I'll show you

How difficult it is to be lonely!

Give me an example

I'll present you millions

I will tell you the past, prove the present

And, in the future, we'll live together.

Tiago Carneiro, year 12, class E

This Sun

This sun cuts veins

Deep with freedom

oozing flowers with emotion,

crying feelings

in a dream that always flies

(Year 10, class D)

Manifesto

Poets, come out of your closets

and shout out loud

to burn the silence.

Open the windows

to scan the world outside.

Leave your doors wide open

then choose the words that travel far

Don't be so naive:

it's time to reach the summit of soul

and plunge into the unknown

with sharp senses,

defying gravity.

Year 12, class E (on the poem Populist Manifesto n0.1 by Laurence Ferlinghetti)
