POEMS

IF YOU LIKE THE POETRY, HERE YOU CAN READ SOME POEMS.

Hero in the Moon

By Leticia Hernández Navarro, aged 8, from Spain (first prize)

The sky is blue, the breeze off the sea
Is fresh. The cars pass in all colours
And in the moon there is you
With all my hopes.

Sweeping Sound

By Maria Jelenska, aged 11, from Poland (first prize)

Sweep, sweep, sweeping sound,
On the floor by the door.
Winter comes.
I come home to eat hot soup
And he, without lunch,
In the winter that gleams
The snow he cleans.
It’s summer.
It is hot like in a pot.
Vacation time starts now,
But how he Mr Sweeper sweeps!
All days, throughout long holidays,
Every day he says to me,
“Hello, great day I say.”
He is a hero and no-one sees
That he is one.
