Very Short Poems

  • by Martina, Elisabetta, Fiorentina, Fabiana, Ilayda, Mervan, Utku and Çağan

    THE CONTINENT OF CONTINENTS

    A wind-blow on the silent dune,
    the freshness of the Nile,
    the stateliness of animals.
    The happiness of children playing football,
    the difficulty of a colorful flower born from a barren soil,
    the condition of hurt people who hope and believe in peace.
    A special place where history and legends are interwoven.

     

    AFRICA

    We should all be brothers
    of this suffering land;
    We should all be custodians
    of these primitive landscapes;
    We should all be poets
    of these deep feelings;
    We should all be lovers of Africa.
     

    SHADES

    Africa the nobody knows
    Pure land, oneness so rare
    I can feel the sunshine
    burning inside me
    Far paradise, you remind me
    a pleasure that makes me glad.
     

    THE EARTH BEAT

    Its spirit wanders free
    beyond the immense sea
    so calm and so wild, side by side
    Africa, the place where our own
    hearts should reside.
     

    HORIZONS

    The rising sun casts its rays upon
    the sparkling sand
    The waves are the beating heart of time
    The wind, the flowery breath of the continent,
    Africa, mother of all
     

    WE THE PEOPLE

    Farming is our source of income
    Usually hit a lot of sun
    Camels are our transportation
    Kilimandjaro is the most gorgeous one

     

    ON FIRE

    Lions are roaring
    Mangos are growing
    This is our Southern culture

    Africa is on fire

     

    HOME

    Everyone knows
    River Nile flows
    Sunshine glows

    Such a good place

    Egypt
