Mehwish and Rainer’s Poem

Posted on October 21, 2011 by CIE Oxford

The sky is going to be blue,

despite the fact I’m missing you

and as I’m walking through the park,

my thoughts are with you in the dark.

Every morning I wake up,

the feelings in me, they won’t stop,

and in my head I truly yearn

to see you after my return.

I have to stay here for some nights

but have already booked my flights

and then my dream is coming true,

the reason is that I love you.

When I finally arrived

and had the sh**hole here survived

I have a flower in my heart

and we will never be apart.

Bruna and Davide’s Poem

Posted on October 21, 2011 by CIE Oxford

I got a small flat,

There weren’t any stairs,

Inside I saw a cat,

Lounging on my chairs.

 

With the cat I had to fight,

It stared at me.

It caused a fright

and from the room I had to flee.

 

Once outside I slammed the door,

It made a lot of noise.

I was shaking on the floor,

asking my mummy for my toys.

 

Suddenly I heard a roar,

it was getting worse and worse.

Through the door I saw a paw,

and from my mouth came out a curse.

The best day this summer

Posted on September 2, 2011 by CIE Oxford

The best day this summer for me was a Saturday in July. That day was not very hot. It was sunny.

I got up early in the morning. Then I ate breakfast. I had a toast and some milk. I like drinking milk, because it’s good for my health. After breakfast, I went to the swimming pool with my friend. He is a boy. I call him Tokyo because he is from Tokyo, Japan. He can swim well. We swam together. After swimming, we had lunch together.

We felt very happy that day.

The Magical Tortoise

Posted on August 18, 2011 by CIE Oxford

Tortoises are a very ancient animal. At the time turtles had such a glare as to kill somebody with a look. You could literally feel the tremendous killing intent leaking out of them, but with time this power was fading. This magic power ran also in the blood of their couisins: the terrapins. They found this out in a church which had a dome. This church was made of steel, which gave a harsh feeling, even just to look at.

Then one of the magic tortoises decided to write an article about a weird religion. The tortoises hun the priests of this religion in a nook somewhere. After they hung them they put a magic seal on them to turn them into tortoises. The moment they turned into tortoises they were in such a perfect state of bliss.

Two years later, there were some interesting changes in the biology of the new hatchlings. So, they had to find a new explanation for their magical powers.

In the new religion they had to consume a very weird drink. This experience was really a plight to future hatchlings. The baby turtles had to penetrate their own minds and themselves to learn how to use the magic otherwise they couldn’t sustain their lives because of the drink. The magical drink was kept in a kettle. Notwithstanding the risk of losing their lives, they kept on performing the ritual for years and years.

Part of the ritual was to sign a special wall in the steel church with their own blood, then blot it with a special towel. While intrepid people were watching, they hung themselves from the arches of the church.

The tortoises decided to pierce their ears, but because they were alcoholics because of the ritual drink, they saw this was bad so they went back to the religion and lost all their magical powers.

And that is why nowadays we have normal tortoises, with no magical powers.

A Chinese Legend

Posted on June 27, 2011 by CIE Oxford

Long, long ago, there was a young person named Hou Yi. He was very brave and hard-working. He killed many gods and demons with his friend. There was also a bad god in the sky, who hit the sun and made the sun angry. The sun wanted to fall into the sea. Someone told Hou yi that if he wanted to keep the sun, he had to find Kua Fu. When he found Kua Fu, he saw that Kua Fu was a very huge person. He told Kua Fu what had happened. Kua Fu decided to follow the sun with Hou Yi. In order to follow the sun, Kua Fu drank the whole Huang River and the Chang Jiang. Finally, he told the sun that if the sun fell down, everyone would die. Then the sun rose in the sky again. But, Kua Fu was so tired that he died. Then his hair became the forest and the grass. His face and body became the mountains and hills. His blood became the river. Everybody was sad.

In order to kill the bad god, Hou yi had to get a special arrow. On this journey, he met a lovely girl whose name was Jing Wei, and fell in love with her. After he got the special arrow, he found the bad god and duelled with him. The bad god controlled ten suns which gave him his power. He had also broken a very important mirror, and let millions of ghosts and demons into the world. They had killed a person. There was only one way to solve this problem, which was to put a special Ruby into the sea. Only Jing Wei  had the ability to complete this task. But, everyone was sad because Jing Wei would have to become a bird and wouldn’t be able to change back into a person. She would also lose all of her memory.

Jing Wei became a bird and put the ruby into the sea. At the same time, Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns, leaving only one there. The bad god didn’t have any more energy and died. Although Jing Wei lost her memory, she still remembered that she had to put the ruby into the sea. So, every day, she kept putting stones into the sea. Hou Yi sat on the biggest stone so he could see Jing Wei.
