"The Lion", by Elix

             The Lion

He is the unique king of the jungle

His mane is like an afro, in disguise

His fur ripples like the sea surface

He walks steadily through the open field

Eyes locked on his prey.

"The Dream", by Hector

The Dream

I dreamt of something cool,

I dreamt of a perfect school,

I dreamt of another rhyme,
Rhyming with cool,

I dreamt that the clouds could be eaten like cotton candy,

I dreamt of finally being lucky,

I dreamt of never loosing my pen,

I dreamt of having an army of men,

I dreamt of the science teacher never saying “Forum!”,

I’ve dreamt of finally ending this poem.

Hector Cartier

"Winter Hooves", by Emilio

Winter Hooves.

Like a living legend, 

The majestic creature,

Gallops with the frozen wind.

Curious, he softly  spies

On the marvelous moon.

Like a knight, he fights the dark

Ignoring the shadows.

As darkness spies on him,

The deep forest slowly leaves

As comes the death of Spring.

The white horse ends his quest,

Blowing harmless snow.

Emilio Rossetto

"The Sea", by Maëlle

The Sea

The waves crash on the sandy seashore 

And when a thin layer foam dissolves, there is more.

The blue of the sky and the blue sea meet,

The difference is weak.

The wind on the beach is rising,

My skirt is dancing.

Maëlle Nollet

"The Snake", by Elio

The Snake

He crawls sneakily in the jungle,

Trying to find an insect bundle,

But it is hard to live chased by the eagle.

Everything for him is bigger than a giant,

In the face of danger he is defiant,

He whispers all the time and SSS… he is silent.

Elio Batrouni

"Horses", by Louise

Horses

They run in the blazing sun

They copy the horse in front

They come in millions of sizes and colours

But all of them run when danger comes.

The oldest protects the herd

They eat the fresh grass

They all protect each other's foals

But all of them run when danger comes.

The foals beat the odds.

The water falls.

They roll over and play.

But all of them run when danger comes.

Louise Lemmens

"The Wolf", by Emilio

The Wolf

Peeking through the bushes of the forest,

The beast spots it with beady eyes and pushes through the woods,

The unwarned prey eating eating,

Is struck with such force, it lays bleeding,

And the floor is stained.

Emilio  Donetti Bonneau

"The Law of the Jungle", by Paolo

The Law of the Jungle

When darkness grows light dies

In blackest night

Nothing shall escape its sight

With its rage and hate

It will kill, and that is your fate

With its claws it will tear your flesh

It will rip through meat that is fresh

You won t win the fight

Beware of the black panther's might

Paolo Rossetto

"A Poem about Summer", by Sirine

A Poem About Summer

Summer,Summer

The big ball shining bright

Summer,Summer

Full of freedom and delight

School,

You're done

We have no rules

In summer,

     We can act like little cool fools.

"Valentine's Day", by Alexandre

Valentine's Day

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Jasmines are white

Apples are juicy

Sugar is sweet

But not as sweet as you.

Alexandre Sleiman

"The Titanium Ninja", by Alexander

                    The Titanium Ninja

He is born as a robot but built for justice.

He and his ninja friends never give up

He destroys the dark lord and sacrifices himself

Turning into a titanium bot

He proved today his courage and perseverance 

And is ready for his next menace.

"The Terrors of War", by Abdul

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The Terrors of War

When the war stings

When the fire spreads its wings

Creations travel east to west

With one destiny, death.

Who calls this "art"?

How does this start?

"Little Black Dress", by Gamila

Little Black Dress

Little Black Dress 

Just walked into the room

Making heads turn

They can't stop looking at you

You're not right

You're not light

You're a horrible sight

Little Black Dress 

Came in here alone

It's too late, too late

Too late to go home

You're not right

You're not light

You're a horrible sight

All the white dresses

Disgrace and misplace

Because your type

Isn't allowed in this place

But Little Black Dress

Don't lose your dignity

You are the only one

Who holds the key.

Gamila Fakhr

"The Giraffe", by Karl

The Giraffe

With its tall neck,

It likes to read about Steinbeck,

While going on a trek.

While it is walking,

It always likes talking,

Awakening its feelings.

The Sailing Ship, by Augustin

The Sailing Ship

The magestic boat sails 

Following imaginary trails

On the azure blue crawling sea

No land, nothing that we can see

The wind fills the sail

Dancing like a whale

Already far from the pier

The boat gently disappears 

Shining like a diamond

Below the horizon.

                              Augustin  Hazard

"The Dream", by Ines and Kayan

The Dream

 It is the dream, 

The dream of a lifetime,

Where we fly high and touch the sky

As high as the eye can see 

Where no man would want to be

But in the dream, where the world is free

You can glide infinitely

Just like a bird

Reaching for joy

High up in the mountains of the North

Drifting from the wind 

Towards the end

Suddenly, you wake up 

Thinking about that bird

Who was let free

By the kindness of the dream.

It is the dream

Where freedom is the crime scene.

"Owls of the Night", by Karen

Owls of the Night

Owls of the night

Owls burning bright

With big eyes yet small feet

Searching for something to eat

Peacefully sitting

Calmly dreaming

One finds a little mouse

Next to a haunted house

And like a sneaky tiger,

It attacks it like fire

Karen Farag                                                             

"The Earth", by Luna-Lou

The Earth

People pollute the earth,

They forget what it is worth,

Animals suffer,

They feel anger,

Don't cut a tree,

Let it be,

Don't kill animals,

They are true marvels,

People pollute the earth,

They forget what it is worth,

Animals are living beings,

Care about their feelings,

So let them be.

                                                 Luna-Lou Magnanini 

"King", by Delia

     King

Show your rays

For some praise 

Raise your head 

Because you led

All of the forest

So you need some rest.

Delia Abu Kishek

"The Noble Dragon", by Hamed.

The Noble Dragon.

Mighty beast,

From north, south, west or east,

With claws of iron,

And fangs of crimson,

Breath of fire,

And wings to aim higher,

Shape of lizard or snake,

Wyvern or drake,

More majestic than a stallion,

The noble dragon.

Hamed Al Awa

"The Cheetah", by Karim

The Cheetah.

As the cheetah attacks, the gazelle starts to run

It’s a cruel animal, it’s doing this for fun!

It chases the poor animal.

In a race, it is unbeatable

At the end of the day, 

As the prey is eaten by the beast,

The animal and his friends are having a feast.

Karim Mansour

"The Honey Bunny", by Aya

The Honey Bunny.

He is so funny

Because he is a bunny!

Who loves honey

Just like my mummy!

He just loves the idea of honey jumping and dancing in his tummy

He is such a honey bunny.
