POESIES PER A TOTHOM

A căzut o frunză-n calea ta
A căzut o frunză-n calea ta
Rătăcind pe-a vântului aripă.
Ai zărit-o şi-n aceeasi clipă
Ai strivit-o călcând peste ea.
N-avea grai să strige în urma ta,
Nici puteri să spună cât o doare
Şi-a rămas pierdută în cărare,
Ploi şi vânturi trecut-au peste ea.
Stătea lipită de pământ şi se întreba
Ce ar face dacă vântul ar lua-o
Şi-o clipă în palma ta ar aşeza-o
Dar a rămas acolo undeva.
A căzut o frunză-n calea ta
Şi cine ştie câte or să mai cadă
Dar n-ai să ştii nicicând
Şi nu-ţi va da prin gând
Că prima frunză ce-a căzut în drumul tău
Am fost eu.




Halloween
Bats fly into the sky.
Flip flying into the clouded black eye.
Cats tip toeing across my toes.
Into the witches hands they go.
Ghosts say boo
haunting kids and scaring adults.
Vampires fangs suck blood
turns the victim into what it was.
Say goodbye to what you heard
Goodbye to cats, ghosts, bats, and witches.
Goodbye to you and good luck on halloween night.
Ha Ha Ha (Rachel Anne Lippard)


Bonne année à toutes les choses :
Au monde! à la mer! aux forêts!
Bonne année à toutes les roses,
Que l'hiver prépare en secret.
Bonne année à tous ceux qui m'aiment
Et qui m'entendent ici bas...
Et bonne année,aussi, quand même
A tous ceux qui ne m'aiment pas!

Filastrocca di primavera(Gianni Rodari)
Filastrocca di primavera
Più lungo è il giorno,più dolce la sera.
Domani forse tra l'erbetta
spunterà qualche violetta.
Oh prima viola fresca e nuova
beato il primo che ti trova,
il tuo profumo gli dirà,
la primavera è giunta, è qua.
Gli altri signori non lo sanno
e ancora in inverno si crederanno,
magari persone di riguardo,
ma il loro calendario va in ritardo.
