Better alone by Atile (the bread queen)
When I’m not alone
All I do is moan
I also groan
My companions say “Oh won’t you stop!”
But my only reply is “I’m going to the shop”
When I’m alone
I can play my trombone
Without somebody screaming “I would rather you moan!”
And I don’t always have to go to the shop
I just always watch TV non-stop
Once I was alone
And I was on my phone
And I was shown
A warning about a...

The masks that we wear by Esther Daphne
The masks that we wear by Esther Daphne
The face that you see
is not truly me
It’s the person you want me to be
I do it to make you happy
My smile hides a thousand tears
And my courage hides my fears
I have hidden my pain for years
So that my misery doesn’t fall on your deaf ears
My body is just a robot that walks
My mouth, a clip that talks
My ...

Winter
By: Domitille MARTIN-DENAVIT
The frozen trees without their mask
The pounds glittering near me
The wind blows, the wolves howls
Drops of freezing water hit my head, snow
My nose felt like food, something grown in land
My coat of snow closed perfectly
And my hand barely moved
And my legs, my legs, nothing
Tomorrow I will see for the first the bright sunshi...

The Serpent and Cleopatra - By Matias Merrifield
The Serpent and Cleopatra
- By Matias Merrifield
The queen of Egypt, in despair
Summoned the cobra from its lair
“Octavian’s armies are at my door
I shall soon feel the legions’ claw”
The Naja answered: “if you are dead
In the afterlife, there is wine and bread”
The female pharaoh pondered and wondered
As tumult from battle boiled and thundered
Cleopatra agreed a...

Siblings By George Baring
Siblings
By George Baring
My sister is a warthog.
My brother is a worm.
The little one is even worse.
I just can’t tell you, think you’ll squirm.
They will not share,
They pull my hair,
And never let me be.
But then at night when I lie down,
And think of all the fun we had,
I know I’m lucky to have them all,
It’s really not that bad

Russia I Miss You By George Baring
Russia I Miss You
By George Baring
I think back to my life in Moscow,
In my mind I see sparkling snow.
I can smell the cold air,
And the frost in my hair,
And it all feels like so long ago.
I think back to our wooden Dacha*,
And my breakfast of delicious Plyshka*.
I can smell the fumes of the old Zhiguli*.
Oh, Russia I miss you truly, truly.
But now, I lo...

I miss you grandfather By Catarina Meireles
Sitting here
Looking at the houses up ahead
Reminds me of going out to the balcony
With my grandfather
Who passed almost 7 years ago
But still keeps a place in my heart
Rembering him telling me one of his jokes
We would stay in the balcony
The sun set for almost half an hour
And my grandfather laughing
With his prec...

Dear grandparents
Your love is like magic
You spent 53 years and counting together
Grandfather you went throught war
You went thrught cancer
She stood beside you whn you really needed her
Grandmother you went through injuries,
Surgery and birth, who was there to
Hold you and love it was grandfather
I love you both ...

A Book by Fatima Diop
A Book.
by Fatima Diop
A book to me is a golden door
A door I have never entered before
It feels like I have just set foot in Neverland
Joylessly I read to many books I got banned
A book to me is a crazy place to be
I can be in the Bikini Bottom under the sea
I have realized that this book is taking me outer space
So I decided to stop reading just in case
My mot...

Sometimes i like to call myself a potato
I don’t really know why
Some people think that i am crazy because
I call myself that but i don’t think it is
I don’t think it’s crazy to be imaginative
It is not crazy to have a good time
Being happy or pretending
I am just waiting for you
To be what you wanna be
Not what everyone wants yo...

Same Difference by Ingara Maidou
Same difference
by Ingara Maidou
We think the same but at the same time differently.
We like the same things, but we usually don’t agree.
We speak the same but describe things differently.
We laugh the same but find different things funny.
It’s like we are the same but not completely,
Because…
You’re still you and I’m still me.

Underneath it all…
by Ingara Maidou
They didn’t see what I saw in you
They saw a confident persona, but they didn’t see the truth.
They didn’t see how hurt you could feel, they didn’t look inside.
They didn’t acknowledge that sometimes you just simply weren’t fine.
They probably thought I would stick to you for attention, but you see,
You meant the whole world to me.
You wo...

Winter
A poem written by Boubaker Naouar
The Queen of cold, is stronger than anything
She kills the trees,
She stops the roads,
She stops the school
And lock us in our houses.
Summer can chase winter,
But that is another story.

Holi by Aryana Issa
Holi by Aryana Issa
In India, Holi is a festival of colours
But not only that it is a day of togetherness
No matter where you are in the world
You should not have a day of togetherness or being thankful to one another… and it goes on…
Everyday should be about that

Missing you by Aryana Issa
Here I am in the middle of school
Sitting on a type of box, watching cars pass by through the fence
Surrounded by silence and people
Wishing my aunt could be here
She could travel six thousand miles in seconds
If she were here we could be reading, calling each other names,
She could be playing the ukulele, I could be singing or even listen...

I found a rock in my shoe
I found a rock on a shrew
I found a rock in my bed
I found a rock on my head
I found a rock with my tutor
I found a rock next to a sharpshooter
I found a rock close to my teacher
I found a rock for the grim reaper
I found a rock in my hair
Try find one if you dare

SNAKES by Luka Nathaniel
If a snake bites you
Beware it will ache
The mistake you made
Was thinking it was fake
If you see a scaled thing
Then a snake it might be
Don’t make a mistake
It might be the last thing you see
Snakes are wonderful
But there not what they seem
They can be pets
They can be clever and clean
Snakes can be red bla...

School's not cool by Selim
School's not cool by Selim
School can be sometimes cool
But not that cool as a pool
It's cooler than a box of tools
Or a sweatshirt made of wool
But if you don't go to school
You will be a fool
You won't know how to refuel your fuel
And you'll have a brain of wool
Even if the school's not as cool as a pool
You have to go to school than a pool
Or you will be a ...

Gardens by Domitile
Gardens
By: Domitille MARTIN-DENAVIT
The busy buzzing bee
Flying in circles around my face
The hot summer sun sucking the scent out of the roses
Sudden gust of wind, whipped round the house,
Foretelling a storm
The first big fat drops of rain started
And were followed by a heavy drumming on the roof
All of a sudden bright sunshine shocked us
And the song of birds...

Life
By: Domitille MARTIN-DENAVIT
Life is a present
Something you should
Never give to someone else
I still remember
When the first time
I opened my eyes
This was the memory of my birth
I have many memories
When I was still a kid
But every day I forget
Of my past
But I will never forget
The situation happening now
The birth of my new baby sister

Homework by Ingara Maidou
Homework by Ingara Maidou
I couldn’t do my homework because,
I was busy doing other stuff
I fought a dragon and bear
And I went to the carnival with my cat
I helped my lizard brush his hair
And bought my cousin big purple hat
I also met my long lost twin sister
Who was raised by wolves in Alaska
Oh and I went to the hospital because I got a blister
But I could on...

The Time of my Life by Joseph Sire
The time of my life by Joseph Sire
For several days I have heard strange sounds
Like ghosts all around
I see the huge Burj Khalifa
And the road sign of Jumeirah
I smell the tasty French cheese
And I breathe the European mountain breeze
I read comics and a short story
Seated on my bed I am a kiddy
I remember when it was raining
It was the time of my...

THE GIANT
By Eloi Chaptal
Mom, mom!
A giant tried to eat me,
He said he was very hungry.
He was as big as a bear
It’s true, I swear!
He had a forest in his nose,
And it was really gross.
Now he is looking at some random paper
But not for long, we are still in danger!
Quick, quick, while we still can,
Let’s run outside and take the van!
“What?” said mom, “Are ...

Friendship by Emma lanier
Friendshipby Emma Lanier
Friendship is a delicate flower
It is enough to feed the entire human race
It is precious even so it seems to be a rush hour
Friendship is a way to take place
In a magical adventure
And fly away with your unicorn
A chance to be a feather
Your dream may end because of a thorn
But if it is true friendship
It will always resist.

Nonsense
Nonsense by Nina Langias
On a sunny day,
I met an ant,
I told her to stay,
But she said that she can't
I asked her why?
She anwsered "because"
She made me cry
She started to applause
I went back home
To the east
Of Rome,
At last,
NINA AND THE BEAST.

What is a Poem ?
A poem can be you,
A poem can be me,
A poem can be anything you wanted it to be
It can be a sentence,
it can be a word,
it can have nonsense,
like me in my world,
A poem is an art,
and for those who don't think so,
that's means you're just at the start of an endless raibow.
Full of colors and mystery,
Horror and fant...

When you look at him.
I would rather rot
Or be stabbed by a knife
Or even brake a limb
Than look at you one last time.

The Crocodile and the Weaver - Esteve Bosc-Perreux
The Crocodile and the Weaver By Estève Bosc-Perreux
In the forest, near a river,
Was placed the home of a weaver.
And in the Egyptian Nile,
There lived a crocodile.
But when he changed habitat,
In the river he sat.
“Hi there, you little bird.”
But that is what the weaver heard:
“Where are you my little baby?”
The weaver responded, “Can I help, maybe.”
“I’m sorry, b...

The Unicorn Song by Rebecca and Tawananyasha
I am a unicorn
With a tiny horn
And I have come to save the day
Hooray!
I like to poo,
Cause I am small as a shrew.
And I like to scream
Cause I am white as cream.
I have a duty to protect Tuty-Fruity
From all the doom
That can come from mushroom
Cause broccoli told it that fruit must die
Cause broccoli sucks like a stinky old fly
And that’s why
I am a un...

Spring and Summer
Spring and summer
Butterflies flutter
Today may be hot
Like boiling water in a pot,
But I will play outside anyway….
….because today is a special day.
The sun rays are glistening beams of light
With beautiful birds in flight
This is the reason,
Why I love the season.
How about spring?
You might never know what it will bring.
Now the winter is over...
