Poetry Day
Here comes the spring
Shifting in your sails, face and in your mouth
One sees a delightful and beautiful sight,
You sort of tinting your gesture
Into something beautiful and unique...
A poem by Cláudia Silva
Poetry Day
The winter vacations are over
Spring came
Blooming flowers
Swallows appear
Just waiting time...
A poem by João Pires
The Arbor Day
The Arbor day
A beautiful day
A happy day for everyone
And very important to us.
A poem by Bruna Ferreira
Poetry Day
Swallows are arriving, all the plants are growing, children are playing and the weather is getting warmer.
In the spring flowers are born, nature is wealth…
Spring is beauty.
In The spring the weather begins to warm, the birds never stop singing, beautiful flowers will be harvested, the swallows arrive…
A poem by Edgar

Poetry Day
I only feel
complete
when I'm
near you.
When I say
I love you and
you call me
my love.
And if I'm alone,
I feel your presence,
our souls
one body.
We are halves
indivisible, the
true light
a single being.
The largest faith
life is so transitory,
beginning and end
the reason for living.
Written by: Helena and Catarina

Poetry
A red red rose
A poem by Robert Burns
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Happy St Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, a clover with three leaves.
March 17 was not the day St. Patrick was born but the day he died. Even though we don't know the date of his birth, most scholars believe the year was 385 AD and the year of his death was 461 AD.
St. Patrick was born in Wales, studied religion to become a priest and then went to Ireland to teach the people about God. There are many wonderful stories about St. Patrick, some true and some not true. The most famous legend is that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. This did not happen but the Irish will tell you that you cannot find a snake throughout the whole country of Ireland.
