The Poetry Marathon

The city-a place where young people

bump into each other because of what?

Because of their smartphones, naturally!

God, so much concrete and so many phones!

The phones are smart, but smombies simply are not

since they go out without seeing nature, people.

Their whole life is on that screen and they cannot

disconnect even in traffic, risking their lives any second!

They cross parks without seeing the trees,

they forgot to look around and to smile.

These modern slaves dispel human faces,

doing technology on a regular basis!

Smombies are sad prisoners of their screens

and not at all aware of normal society’s screams.

They can become smart bombs activated by technology,

so they could be named sbombies if nothing at all changes!

Fluffy and caring,

he’s always playing.

He has a happy tail

and wants his own tale.

True love avoided me until now,

I hope this won’t happen in the future.

Shared love is a welcome guest in my house,

I only hope that this guest is punctual!

I am kindness, but I can become fury.

I am a fairy, but also a dragon spitting fire.

I am a mixture of light and shadows

And my heart is so full of rainbows.

Dear Simona,

Please tell me that you changed something,

That you want to fight and overcome any situation,

That you are self-confident and ready for life!

By the way, do you still love classical music?

Your older version

A world full of colours-

that’s where I want to live.

Some grey is unavoidable,

but rainbows appear after rain.

Finding a way to reach you-

that’s what I really wish for.

Don’t avoid my questions,

I know you have answers.

I badly need to read your mind,

stop hiding from me and my heart!

I love your wonderful smile and

I miss holding you in my arms.

It was nothing around me, only a soft breeze

caressing my face and the light playing.

It was a combination of light and shadows,

but light was always more powerful.

A strange music could be heard and I almost

expected gods to show themselves.

I woke up among echos of uplifting sounds,

being eager to repeat my travel in space.

Do you remember Scarlett from Gone with the wind?

Tara was running through her veins and she

never gave up! I’d love to have her strong will

and the unique capacity of reinventing myself!

The call of the land was so powerful,

that it saved her life! That’s why this quote

perfectly applies to her: ”the land

knows you even when you are lost”.

It happens to discover huge things by chance,

it’s possible to know great people by chance

and this is simply due to something called serendipity!
