Take care!!!
what beautiful poems!! you are poets!! =) congratulations!!
I love your poems guys! I'm surprised.I didn't know you could write such beautiful things.Gr8!:)
HELLO!!! =) THIS IS MY LAST TIME WITH YOU ='(
ANYWAY... THE COMMENTS WERE FUNNY.... =)
HOWEVER IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TRY TO INVENT SOME OF THEM... MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE POVED IT IN THE LAST LANGUAGE'S LESSON...
FOR EXAMPLE =)... TO START WITH...
IF I WERE ME (IN THE LAST YEAR), I WOULD HAVE DONE ALL THE BEST OF ME IN ORDER TO PASS LANGUAGE QUIETLY...
MY CREATIVITY IS DYING SLOWLY BECAUSE OF MY LOW STIMULATION... SO...
IF I WERE MYSELF AS I'M REALLY BE, I WOULD BE EXTREMELY CRAZY OR MAD, TALKATIVE AND JOKING.
IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT I'VE PUT ALL MY EFFORT TO OVERCOME SOME COMPLICATED SITUATIONS, I CONSIDER THIS YEAR AS LOST ONE. THEREFORE...
IF I WERE THE PASSED LIVED TIME, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN TO MYSELF ANOTHER CHANSE TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS PROPERLY.
AS I AM NOT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE IN THIS INSTITUTE DUE TO ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, I WOULD LIKE HAVING ENOUGH MONEY IN ORDER TO CAN AFFORD THE MONTHLY FEE ADEQUATELY. =)
ALL IN ALL... I AM GOING TO MISS MY BEST FRINDS WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME IN WHATEVER MOMENTS...
SO.. IF I WERE MYSELF AGAIN =), I WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MAKE NEW FRIENDS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY... OF COURSE PEOPLE WHO WORTHWHILE LIKE MY LITTLE GIRLS... SUCH AS... YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WHAT I MEAN...
THANK U!!! =)
HAPPY LIFE AND HAPPY COURSE =)
p/d:
THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT WITH BAD INTENTIONS... THEY ARE JUST SOMETHING THAT COMES TO MY MIND... =)
****THE END****
Hello, I`ve read some comments that were really interesting and creative, I liked lorena´s poem very much, it´s like very sweet, and jose don´t feel bad man, life can be hard, but we have to go on.
Well, this is what I wrote, tell me what you think of this:
If I were…
If I were a good person I wouldn´t be here saying to you this…
If I were young i would be doing so many things
If I weren´t a drunk I wouldn´t be dying here
If I weren´t a gambler I would have a home
If I were a good father my children wouldn´t hate me so much
If I had a family I wouldn´t be this alone…
If I were a good man my wife would be here now
If I could move I wouldn´t be lying on the ground
If I weren´t so sick I would like to visit my old mother
And say I´m sorry I wasn´t a good son
If I were dead now I wouldn´t be suffering no more…
Ok, so this is about an old guy who is very sick dying on the streets, well, take care of yourselves, bye.
Hi guys!! a love reading their poems,you are very imaginative. I want to comment sth specific for joseph... I think sometimes life is not how we hope ... and when happen things like that we think that all is lost...but is not true, it depend on how you face its obstacles, I know is not easy and I understand that it is a very difficult situacion... you must fight for whatever you want and if you think in positive and try to go on, you can change all that until today seem to be bad or difficult!money go and back I know is necessary but is not all in life if you have an aim!! good luck!! you aren´t alone in the life!..
Wow!!what wonderful poems I've read..!
I've really liked all of them! Each of one wrote and put something special and personal from each one!!
Well now It's my turn,it's a short one.I hope you like it...
"IF I WERE THE TIME"
If I were the time, I would stop it every time I do something wrong, would return time and would do the best.
If I were the time, I would stop it every unforgettable moment.
If I were the time, I would return it to not allow all the people I love suffer.
If I were the time, I would return it and I would say goodbye to the people who wouldn't be in the future.
By Gise
(I think that if all the people were the time,they would like do things like this. I don't Know if you agree with me...)
Love your poems.So many beautiful ideas and thoughts!
I have to admit that when I read Joseph's comment I felt sad.
Dear José:You still have 6 months ahead, so you haven't lost anything yet.You don't need to be crazy, outgoing or talkative to succeed in life. Everybody is special and perfect in the way they are.
I've known you since last year and I know you are a great person and student and I know it has been hard for you, but remember:everything is up to you. Be positive. You can get whatever you want and be whoever you want.If it is not to be here at Franklin ,it will be somewhere else. You have to find your way.
When I scolded you(only twice), it wasn't to make you feel bad but to wake you up because I know you can give much more, but as you said you have to find your motivation.It's inside you.
I'll miss you "perfect English":)
I'll miss your smile and your funny comments.
Make your dreams come true!Don't let anyone or anything stop you.
You're invited to post comments everytime you want.
Don't give Up!
Your Dreams May Be Closer
Than You Think!
"There may be times when you feel
as if you have taken a million steps towards
your dreams, and acted on your plans, only to find
yourself in the same place that you began from.
At times like this, you must not give up.
You must continue on. Though you may feel
lost, bewildered, and alone, continue to believe
in yourself. Do not allow discouragement and
doubt to blur your vision and wash away
your dreams. Visualize your way beyond the
detours, standstills, and obstacles.
You will realize your dreams. You have
worked hard and taken so many productive
steps in a positive direction that you are bound
to succeed. Whatever the hurt of the moment
may be, it will pass. Tomorrow is always a
new dawn. Today, you must pause, rest, catch
your breath, and then look ahead. Each step
will bring you closer to your dreams. The
rainbows and the love that you deserve are in
sight. Happiness is just around the next turn."

IF I WERE A POET....
if i were a poet, i would live near a beatiful landscape so i could describe it through wonderful words.
if i were a poet, i would say everything i don't say.
if i were a poet, i would make people feel hapiness and pleasure through my words.
if i were a poet, i would be free as i've always wanted.
if i were a poet, i'd express my feelings in a beatiful manner, creating an emotional effect.
if i were a poet, i would describe life to make it appear different. i'd show life as different as it's now....
well that's my poem ...
Hello guys I've read some comments that were really creative... well I'm going to post my own poem .. I'm not a good writer but I did my best possible... I hope you like it..
If I were a butterfly I'd thank you lord for giving me wings.
If I were a fish I'd thank you lord for wiggle my tail and can cross the sea.
If I were a elephant I'd thank you lord by raising my trunk
If I were you I'd thank you lord for the life that he gave you......
Well.. that’s my poem .. I think that we always have value and be thankful everything we have…
bye bye..
hello miss here I leave my poem.. I hope you like it..
If I were a butterfly , I would learn how to be as free as can be.
If I were a butterfly, I would have vibrant wings of dilicate lace to fly away.
If I were a butterfly, I might fly so high but I'd hope to catch your eyes. I would be such a gazee and i'd die just like that.
bye bye I hope you enjoy it.
HELLO EVERYBODY!
It just a little paragraph that came to my mind.
I am not the best writing something, but anyway, here I go!!!
If I were a fish, I would swim in your fishbowl.
If I were a fish, I would do bubbles of love where you want.
If I were a fish, I would leave not even an instant.
If I were a fish, I would like one night be able to submerge up to the end, and to live forever wetted in you.
ok Miss Yesica, This is everything what I could do! I tried not to ruin it. n.n
hope you like it!!! Bye!!

Hello Everybody....
There are thinking about love...I hope that you like it...
Maybe it is a madness but...
If i were the air i would like to be your breathing.....
If i were your angel i could take care all your life...
If i were your memory i could cross our sad moments and remind you the best.....
If i were a seeing i would like to guess your feeling for me.....
But if you don´t believe me....
If you were here i could show the meaning of love.......
That´s all....see you soon....
Hiya!!!as far I have read your poems I quite like them but now but now you should have a look to mine and it and tell me if you happen to like it..
If I were rain, I might fall over you daintily drop by drop in that way, I would take a softly-softly approach with you. Were you a sponge you‘d suck me up. And you would become spongy foam. Earth would be happy. And we’d be on top of the world as well.
Hi everybody!!!!!!
I´ve read your poems and I like each of them.well done guys!!!
Well it´s mine,I hope that like you.
Ok, CU soon
If I wre a pet,I could play everytime.
If I were a pet,Everybody could caress me.
If I were a pet, I wouldn´t worry about doing my homework.
If I were a pet, I could sleep all the time.
Hello everybody! how r u? hope u r fine :).
Well, at last I decided to write on the blog.xD
First of all, I really liked all your poems, from my point of view they are very creative! I believe writing them reflects some aspects of your personalities, thoughts as well as ideologies... good to start getting to know you!Thumbs up 4 each of u!
I have to say that sometimes it's a bit difficult to express my feelings, that's why I like writing as u feel free to write whatever u want!
I didn't know what to choose to write about, so much to say!.. all in all, here I leave u 2 of my most important wishes! Hope u'll enjoy them as I did with yours! :)
This is the one I've read in class :)
"If i were rich, I would help people who live in extremely poverty by providing them some different sources (like food), but only if I see they really need it (for instance if there is a an ill parent, i wouldn't like to promove lazyness).
Also, I'd help old people to buy their medicines, as I know how expensive and difficult is to take care of your health, especially when you don't have a social insurance.
What is more, I'd create an organisation to help teens and young people to control their emotional problems (because I've seen many cases of suicide).:(
On the other hand, if I were rich I'd buy a new house for all the members of my family (I know how it feels when you have to pay the rent and you don't have enough money)
Finally, if I were rich I'd buy a radio station and all the necessary things I must have in order to become in a famous producer dj..in a good one!... just I ♥ MUSIC :)
:S the previous comment of the one that is above this is also mine! just i've edit my profile again! :)... here I leave u a poem that i've written!
IF I WERE MUSIC ♫
If I were music, I would fill your heart
with the most beautiful feelings that
a common person could ever feel
If I were music, I would find the correct and
the unique words to make you express what
you really feel
If I were music, I wouldn't leave you alone
I would be there as the best friend you
could ever have.
If I were music, I would rock your
world everytime, I would help you
to forget, to remember and to guide!
Stop saying what I would do if I were music,
it's just a dream!
Once you woke up, one you noticed....
you would realised that
MUSIC IS LIFE ♥
Hello!!! How are you?? I hope you will be very well!!
Your poems are really nice!! You are very imaginative people!!
I was thinking about being an angel and what I would do if I were one of them.
These are my ideas…I hope you like them…Bye!!
IF I WERE AN ANGEL…
If I were an angel, I wouldn´t live on earth. I would live with God. So, I could see every human problem and I had the power enough to solve them…
If I were an angel, I would fight against poverty, injustice, suffering and death. I would enter into every human leader heart to put “love“ into them…
If I were an angel, there would be peace because every person would love his/her partner. Nobody would die because I would finish with death. Nobody would cry, nobody would kill his partner…
If I were an angel, I would try to change the world. I would finish with suffering tears. I would finish with wars. I would draw a smile in every human face. Everybody would live in peace. Everybody would be fair. Everybody could walk alone along the streets without fear…
If I were an angel, everybody would be happy and, of course, I would be the happiest being in the entire universe.
