I

FREAKY WORLD

I am a human bean,

What does this mean?

It means war,

It means death,

It means music

and the breath.

That's strange,

but arranged.

And to that

I have to say:

Who is normal

in this world?

Are we different at all?

All in all I'm just an-

other freak in the world.

CHRISTIAN SEGURA RODRÍGUEZ, 4ºA

1st Prize

II

GREEN WORLD

Little mother Earth

sadly feeling blue,

she has a hole in her heart

and all because of you.

This is breaking her down in parts,

I wish it wasn't true.

PRADO HERRERA BERMÚDEZ, 2º Bach. C 

2nd Prize

I WISH I WERE A PIRATE 

I wish I were a pirate, 

not for gold, not for silver, 

but for loving the sea 

and for hating the word "love". 

I wish I were a pirate, 

with a heart made of tinplate, 

that seems not to feel anything. 

I wish I were a pirate 

to defend your liberty, 

to defend your hate 

to the word "love".

GUILLERMO MANUEL DELLEPIANE, 1º Bach. B, 

3rd Prize

ANTONIO RUIZ GORDILLO, 1º Bach. A

DIARY OF A BEAST  

Day 1: Mum is not, 

I'm alone. 

She isn't going to care for me any more. 

Day 16: I see someone like me, 

I think I've found love here. 

Day 192: He is my cub. 

Today is the first day he hunts. 

Day 200: There are a lot of strange animals 

with two legs and malicious faces. 

They run towards me 

and say: here is the beast. 

Day 0: I'm not a beast,

I feel I'm not wild.

Goodbye my child.  

CYNTHIA PENAGOS MORALES, 1º Bach.B

MADRID 

Making all the way 

to that well-known place 

brings, as memories to my mind, 

your familiar face. 

Armed just with a smile, 

carried in my suitcase, 

desires, nervousness. 

Unwilling my heart breaks 

at the moment I leave once again.

ELIA ESCASANY MARTÍNEZ, 2º Bach. A

INSANE 

I'm gonna settle it. 

Please, close your eyes. 

Feel for a moment 

all the people laughing, crying, 

shouting, dying... 

Do you think it is sick? 

Who is crazy now?

DANIEL ZAMPAÑA RODRÍGUEZ, 1º Bach. B

 

MÉLODIE

Mélodie, I see in your eyes 

the lies 

that you told me. 

They are blue like the sky 

so shi- 

ny in the morning. 

I can see a rusty ship 

that sails across the sea 

when they tell me 

your story. 

Mélodie, let wet rain 

arrive 

to her pale face 

She walks down a green long way 

between 

red strawberries. 

Will she leave behind her life 

chasing the moon at cloudless nights? 

Will I forget 

our memories?

FRANCISCO JÁCOME MAURA, 4º ESO B

ONCE AGAIN 


To live in suffer, sick over my word, 
mockingbirds flying into my soul, 
a stormy mind in anger, darkness, 
a faceless judgement out of control. 
A sea of shouts in my heart I have, 
a mother crying under the grave of a son, 
a daughter lost in her chains, 
a wife looking at the sky, a bit sad, 
believing in thoughts, empty walls, 
walking to the hole, to say and to be wrong. 
Death and tears, the never-ending song. 
Could something be right...? 
Try to escape your fears, 
a winter night waits for you. 
A child who doesn't want to smile. 
A light which pretends his love. 
Death and tears, the never-ending son. 
Answers that always lie, 
a knife that forgets hurting. 
All far away from the real world. 
A prisoner without faults, 
a cry... has already begun... 
Death and tears, the never-ending song.

OSCAR M. GALLEGO, 2º Bach. D
