Poetry by 10ºA... Feel inspired

Wishes of a girl

I opened the dream door
The wish door
And the innocence of a girl.

I opened something that invited my thinking
Those fairytales
That I wish in my life
I'm not that innocent girl
I'm a dreamer
But what does that woman think
I'm the one who doesn't believe in princes anymore
I believe there aren’t fairytales
But fight and more fight.

If you see my door
You'll see that I'm much more
Than words and photos
I'm that you know
When you look at me in my eyes
or better
when you look at me inside myself

I Dream I fight
Don't try to understand!
Ana Raquel Lopes da Silva 10ºA- nº5

Imagine if …
I build a new world
where there’s no place for lies
where only happiness exist
without sadness

In my world
you might want to cry
but you won’t
because that felling doesn’t exist

It’s a gorgeous place
with happy colours, sun and snow
beautiful gardens, rainbows
and everything else that I love

However, that isn’t my reality
I live in other world
with sadness and darkness
where imagination it’s almost forbidden

But this world has something special
something that makes me smile
Something that keeps me alive
Something called hope.
Ana Maria Babo 10ºA


MOONLIGHT
To feel like to dance
To the sound of moonlight
-that violin
The others don’t listen
Listen to Mozart…
Listen to Beethoven…

But, today I am
listening in the sky
And dancing in land
With satin foot,
outside…

It’s me, in the air…
It’s me, the moonlight…

Phases
I have phases like the moon
Phases of being a lost woman,
The phase where I am
I have phases to be yours
I need to be alone…

Phases that go and come
The secret timetable,
That is my heart…
Patrícia lopes 10ºA
The body more slim,
The skin more gentle,
The face more beautiful,
The eyes more brilliant,
The dream more prefect,
Is you...
It is not an illusion,
Because it is you,
The one who takes up
My heart.
Vânia Fernandes 10ºA

Forever...
After the storm,
Ahead by periods,
Calm and even some
Joy...
But never forget
Who was always on
My side...
It is with you I want
to live...
It is with you I want
to stay...
It is with you I want
I want to be happy...
And there will be always something
that will prevent me from continuing to be
Happy...
André Duarte 10ºA

The life

The life is made of moments,
Some always Know what to do
But try struggling against problems
Because we can always think how good is living
Because the good moments of life
Are those when we feel fulfilled
Who can arrive at definite limits?
We can always dream
And never leave the struggle.
Octávia Soraia


Princess

To a beautiful girl:
Dance, laugh, play and jump
Go searching for love
Nothing more is missing
Small child who likes to dream
It is all a mother wants to see
The girl a mother wants to have!

Ana Patrícia Cardoso Carneiro Nº4 10ºA

MY PLACE
Maybe there is a place
For each of us.
Maybe everyone
Feels complete in that place.

Even alone, maybe,
But just maybe,
We feel proud of ourselves.

But I know…
That when I am in that place,
The world disappears
And I feel happy and proud.
Tânia Sofia Carvalho Ferreira Nº 27 10ª A

Die
Life is unfair to those who fight
Even more unfair is to die
After fighting and winning
Thinking about death is necessary
Thinking about death is essential
It is unfair not living
It is unfair living and not performing
There is life after death
I do not want just to hope
I want comfort to my heart
Joaquim Pinto
Nº 15

Union

Today is another day
And distance means strength,
Strength that we can share
And use ...

Sitting in a chair I am,
Remembering the salty sea
Contrast of your sweet lips,
The raw sound of water hitting the rocks,
Incomparable to your loving words.
Pedro Cunha 10ºA

Remember talking about Lou Reed and his connection to Andy Warhol? Well guys, here is a piece of information about this artist. He is best known for his exploration of Pop Art, mass producing images of mass produced objects.

Last Great American Whale

The hunting of whales has almost led to the extinction of these mammals.
In this song Lou Reed uses them as a symbol of the American people's
cruelty towards the environment.
This is a great video to watch. Pay attention to the lyrics.
