This blog is designed for French highschool students -from Louis de Broglie school in Ancemont OR from anywhere else- who want to improve their English.
Here is a new challenge sponsored by Madame MONIN :
As it is "le printemps des poètes" at school at the moment, write your own poem or choose a poem which you like...
Grégory (10C) sent me his poem earlier on by e-mail. Here it is :
"I'm Super!"
I'm excellent, fabulous, great as can be! Astoundingly splendid. Yes, seriously! I'm wickedly wondrous to such a degree, That I'm out of this world. I can see you agree! Breathtakingly super, a sure guarantee, There's no one as peachy or first class as me! Phenomenal homework comes most easily, So why is last week's marked in red with an 'E'?
Locking eyes with the nomadic sun I long to be native again.
Santa Ana winds blowing fire through the palms bringing blue back to sky east of the ocean.
Flat out loitering until the lights come on skateboarding home, ice cream in hand.
Four bands, one warehouse, three dollars, general admission.
My childhood lies buried beneath the city of Progress dormant, in a development seed.
No matter.
One million years from today, settled in fragments of seasalt and dust,
pointing newborn fingers at the sun, I will be there.

My Room!
It's only a room, But it's my room. My space, my base, My place in the world.
Brown bears stare from a ledge up above. I don't play with them now but can't give them the shove. They're stuffed too full of love.
On the floor: a pair and a half of socks, a bundle of keys, without locks, a pair of goggles in a box. It's only a room, but it's my room. Somewhere to go, somewhere to sleep, somewhere to be sent, somewhere to hide, somewhere to cry, somewhere to dress, somewhere to think, somewhere to be. Steve Turner
