Shades of Poetry                        By students of C Class

                            

Green

Green is life

Green is trees.

But I can’t buy

A cup of tea

In this world.

So is it of any worth

Having such a

Favourite colour?

Green is worth

In this world

‘Cause it makes you feel

So young.

Maria Ioanna Mega

                           Red

A friend of mine

Is obsessed

With red.

He says

It’s a lovely colour,

Just right for lovely people.

                                        Aggeliki Galinou

Blue

When the sky is blue,

I like doing

Lots of wonderful things

Like swimming in the sea.

                                        Lydia Davala 
Skypeia Land

The sky is blue

The grass is green

And the angels

Are flying above

In the world of Skypeia

Where everything is fantastic

But when the king

Of Skypeia is murdered

Nobody can secure the borders

‘Cause Skypeia has become

a land of the evil, the insecure,

a land of black.

Irene Antipa

What happened to you?

Roses are red,

Violets are blue

Your brother is lovely

What happened to you?

You are always angry

And you often go red,

Just calm down

Like everybody else.

                        Lina Vastardi

Snow-white

Your hair is black

Your face is white

You live in the forest

They call you

Snow-white.

Lefki Karastatira

Orange

My favourite colour is orange

Because it is really like orange.

It is not just a colour for me

It is the meaning of all my life.

The majority of girls usually

Prefer pink

But I may be an exception.

And I’m glad for that

‘Cause I want to be different.

Marina Mavrofridi

Blue

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

The sea is blue,

The sky, too.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

I love your eyes

I love you, too.

                                     Chara Zoulinou.

Blue

The colour of the sea and sky

Always lit up, always bright.

Blue takes off all worries,

Makes you calm, fall in love.

Blue will take you away

In a world without hate.

                                  John Vlachopoulos

Blue

Blue is calmness.

Blue is peace.

Blue is the colour of the sea.

Blue is the colour of the sky.

Blue, the colour of all hopes

I had as a child.

                      George Lembidakis  

                      Blue

Blue is peace

Blue is love

Blue is calmness

Blue is the sky

Blue is a smile

With a lover tonight.

                                      Helen Kotsifaki

Blue

If you want to find

Something really nice

You’d better not look here,

‘Cause you’ll soon realize

That there is only grey.

But go away, disappear,

Disappear behind a tree

And walk,

Walk until

You see the sea.

What a wonderful sight!

Oh, it’s full of blue.

It’s fantastic with the light

Shining from the stars above.

And now come back again.

Look at the blue flowers,

Look at the blue moon

With the yellow brush strokes.

                                    Konstadina Latsi
Black

Black is white

Black is the moon

Black is something

Black is nothing

Black must die.

                                     Dimitris Zournatzis

Red

Red is fire,

Red is power,

Red is love,

And desire.

Red means passion

And devotion-

To long for love

And strong emotion.

                                         Eleni Anastasopoulou

Foes

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

If you kill your friend,

Kill your foes too.

Dark Park

George is fading into black

But he is not afraid

Of the dark

And goes to the park.

                              

                                     Karabasis

Love

Love is in the air

Where blue

Loves to be.

                                                Maria Kanali

Red                                         Death, blood, fire, destruction.

Red.

Everywhere red, red, red.

Nothing left alive.

Everything has been destroyed.

Nothing left for a living.

You are walking half dead in the rain.

Your eyes are red.

Your heart is full of red.

You are walking through the streets,

Looking around.

All you see is

death,

blood,

fire, fire, fire.

                                        Michael Gialousis

A sip of red wine

I hate blue

Because it reminds me of you.

I miss your green eyes

And that makes me cry.

I see a black cloud around me

And wonder

Where have you been?

Have a sip of red wine

Because one day

You will be mine.
