Kudos to the homeschooled boy!
Si eu m-am bucurat grozav cind fata mea, la 16 ani a participat la concursul de poezie pe care librariile din orasul nostru le organizeaza in fiecare an. A cistigat, desi a fost singura reprezentanta a scolilor crestine, toti concurentii ceilalti fiind din liceele publice.
Tema poeziei e chiar pasiunea ei, cititul:
My Friends
By Doris Pop
My room is filled with special friends
More dear to me than gold;
Some young and slender, but some fat
And hundreds of years old!
They sleep lined up on shelves of oak
Or hide under my bed.
They are my books, my special friends,
All waiting to be read.
Like far lands, yet to be explored,
But still within my reach,
Of wonders full are all of them,
A Treasure Island each.
They even can rewind the time
To a forgotten age,
And take me back a thousand years
With one turn of a page.
The brightest minds who ever lived,
The best in thought and skill
Are here to keep me company
And talk to me at will.
With Verne and Swift, I travel far;
With Dickens – shed some tears;
I fight alongside Peter Pan
And the Three Musketeers!
Jane Austen can charm me for days,
And Tolkien can enthrall!
Twain makes me laugh, Poe makes me cry,
And Shakespeare does it all!
I love my books! Each one of them
Space, language, time transcends;
Companions for life they are
Forever-faithful friends!
WOW!! Felicitari!!! Poezia este minunata, m-am regasit si eu in strofele ei.
Sper ca continua sa-si puna gindurile pe hirtie, pentru ca are talent in folosirea cuvintelor. Multumim pentru ca ai impartasit cu noi o parte din coltul vostru de rai.
