Pure Nature by Hanna Bonnard and Solène Orliange
From all the windows, nature you can see,
On the top of the mountains in the fresh air,
With the company of him and she,
In the nature where flowers seem so rare.
The moon glowing in the dark dim night,
The sun shining so bright in the blue sky,
Those elements of nature are like a light,
Guiding us through our amazing lives, but why?
While the fishes dive in the clear water,
When you arrive on a magical land,
When the time grows faster and faster,
While the birds pose on a beach of white sand.
Open your eyes, this is not a picture.
Just realize this is pure nature.
The Trio of Life by Jonathan Surridge and Silène Dewaest
The moon is beautiful and so light,
But nothing compares to the sun’s might.
When the sun finishes its long day,
He goes down and lets the stars have it their way.
The stars amazingly shine in the dark night sky,
They play hide and seek in the clouds that fly,
They slowly fade into the early dawn,
The early sun rays light the people’s lawn.
Artemis by Zoé Drwila and Elisa Jacquet
There was once in the forest a goddess,
Who was beautiful and loved liberty.
In all the forest she was a highness,
Can you guess who is this grand majesty?
When she was born, the moon started shining,
When she was happy the stars came out,
When the moon was crying, she was weeping,
When the clouds arrived she was ready to shout.
Niobe boasted her superiority,
Artemis and her brother were angry,
So they killed her children, some are still weeping,
The river Achelous they are still forming.
However she lives on the Olympus Mount
I think you guessed that she is Artemis.
A Dream? by Alice Gouwy
On a nice June day, on a little farm in the countryside of England, a young man named James was planting potatoes for his father. A few months earlier, James’s father, Mike, had just been saved from a heart attack. While James was digging, he suddenly heard a bang. He put his hand through the hole, and took out a beautiful red diamond. It was enormous. He kept digging where he had found the diamond and a few minutes later, he found himself in an underground tunnel. James picked up a stick and lit a fire. He cautiously stepped further. It seemed like the tunnel would never end. After a long walk in this black tunnel, James arrived to some stairs. He could either go up or carry on through the tunnel. But which was which? James finally decided to climb the stairs. It was the same. The dangerous stairs seemed like they would never end. Then, the stair stopped. In front of the little boy was a door. There was something written with blood: Do not enter.
That frightened James a lot. He took all his courage and opened the wooden door and took a step. James screamed a scream of horror. It was midnight, the moon was shining bright and there on the soil, were lying four skeletons shining in the moonlight.
Again in blood was written: They entered.
James stood there, mouth opened, petrified. Would this happen to him? James did not know if he could go any further. But he did. He entered a big house. Only one room was lit. In that room was a bed, and in that bed was a man sleeping.
Suddenly, James could feel a knife on his throat.
“You entered,” one of the men said.
“I’m only a child,” said James.
“We know but you deserve this,” another man said.
“Oh please! I’ll do anything!” cried James.
“Anything?” the third man asked.
“Yes,” replied James calmly, “Anything.”
“Then give us the diamond,” said the second man.
_“No!”
“You said anything,” reminded the first one.
“Anything except this!” shouted James and then he ran off as fast as his legs would carry him.
As James had slid away from the knife, it cut his throat badly. He was bleeding a lot, but he didn’t care. He kept on running. The top of his shirt was red now. James suddenly stopped as he realised the skeletons had disappeared and there was no longer the wooden door. James was standing nowhere by himself, bleeding.
“Boo!” he heard from behind him. He turned around and found himself facing the four skeletons.
“Aaaagh!” shouted James.
“Shh,” said the skeleton putting his hand on James’s mouth.
“We’re with you,” said another one. The three strong men were no longer far from James and his team.
“Run!” the skeletons cried to James,” Leave them to us.”
To his surprise, the skeletons ha a lot of strength and were very fast running.
“There, we’re done,” said a skeleton.
“Aaagh!” James suddenly woke up. Was this a dream? James turned his head every side and there on the shelf, spotted the red diamond. His throat hurt but there was no scar.
“We could sell this,” thought James.
And that was what James and his father did. They had a happy life from that day and were very rich. But one question always haunted James until his death: Was this true, or was it only a dream?
