Lying in the middle of the bed
waiting for the clock to change
flicking my toes on the sheets
watching a plane cross the window
staring at the glare of the light
smelling the orange on the table
counting the flowerss on the curtain
holding my head with my hand
hearing the steps on the stairs
lying in the middle of the bed
waiting for the clock to change.

POETRY PROJECT - week 2 - Poem - BOD, MY FAT CAT

BOD, MY FAT CAT My name is Bod, He´s really very fat. His stomach´s on the floor, And he can´t get through the door! He eats and eats and eats, He just never seems to stop. And when we fill his bowl, Note even one morsel does he drop! His fur is very black With white bits on his face. But he spends most of the time, Curled up in his favourite place. He never runs around, Or sneak or pounce or jump. My big fat cat called Bod, Really is a lazy big fat lump! https://fizzyfunnyfuzzy.com CHILDREN TO TRY READING THE POEM FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES EACH DAY.

POETRY PROJECT - Week 2 - Poem - MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

My Dog Ate My Homework Ken Nesbitt My dog ate my homework. That mischievous pup. Got hold of my homework and gobbled it up. My dog ate my homework. It’s gonna be late. I guess that the teacher will just have to wait. My dog ate my homework. He swallowed it whole. I shouldn’t have mixed it with food in his bowl. — Kenn Nesbitt www.poetry4kids.com CHILDREN TO TRY READING THE POEM FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES EACH DAY.

A veces la vida nos lleva por un camino inesperado, y muy poco deseado.  Entre la tristeza que nos rodea, se busca la fortaleza y la valentía para poder continuar el camino de nuevo. Aquí os dejo un poema en Castellano de una autora que siempre ha sabido expresar las emociones que sentimos todos/as. De nuevo, os saludo con un enorme abrazo, que pronto quizás, se puede dar en persona.  (¡Ojala!) LO QUE EL CORAZÓN ME DIJO Magdalena Lasala Resiste, Como lo hace la piedra en el arroyo. Déjate llevar en la riada, Si debe arrastrarte el agua, Y deja que se redondeen tus esquinas Poco a poco en la corriente. Resiste el calor de las horas altas Y el frío de las bajas; Sirve de asiento para unos Y sé un tropiezo para otros, Y también un arma, o una joya, O un recuerdo. Tú resiste, como la piedra. Pues resistir no es negarse al propio Cambio, Sino adaptarse a los cambios ajenos.
