The Purple One

Necessary as water for the human body

Expensive like a diamond

Useful to keep things but

Also beautiful and fashionable

Hard to separate from you

Your heart contains all the good things

And they're all my things

You are my favourite one

You are my purple one!

What Time Is It?

I'm a black handwatch with big gold numbers.
I live in a little white box and I show the time
to different people with different hands and
different reactions. I am made of steel and
I am resistant to water. I feel like man because
I make my owners excited, anxious, afraid, angry, disappointed.
I am full of stripes and holes and although they do not care about me
I embrace them with loyalty.


I am an old watch but beautiful, big, heavy and costly.
People usually admire me while they say in a humorous way:
“Time is money”

The lilac notebook

My secret chamber
is the lilac notebook.
Its hard cover
like a sleepless guardian
keeps the well-locked remains
of a childhood drifted with the wind,
an adolescence like a curt lightning.
Its soft pages
with their nostalgic lavender scent
unfold the untold stories
of a girl too fragile
for the cruel world.
A girl whose shelter
will always be
the lilac notebook.

The Scarf

Hidden in a drawer

when the sun disappears

it again appears

with its designs

to make me shine

like a diamond in the night

and with only one goal in mind

to keep me warm

and beautiful

~Xenitidou Panagiota

A brush

This brush of mine

its wood so sweet

like candy found

on children’s teeth.

Its colour red and black

like a gift given, then taken back.

This brush of mine-

its teeth so sharp,

like the strings

of my old golden harp.

This brush of mine it combs my hair

so tightly that it doesn’t spare

a life or two to spread some joy

to the skull it will so ruthlessly destroy.

The Daydreamer

Four Seasons

It’s wooden or it’s plastic

It’s square or it’s rectangular

It’s organized yet messy

It’s overflowing yet lacking

It’s like a runaway or a cupboard under the stairs

It’s plain yet daring

It’s a true 50’s party and a rainbow feast

It’s private yet shared with sizes ranging from 6 to 14

Hiding all your secrets and your junk,

smelling of mothballs and lilac.

Ιt stands on the wall

my house's round clock

it is running after time

counting every second which drops by

my clock is ticking

louder every day

like it is striving

something to say.

It breaks the silence

it is beating like a human heart

now the hour hand is pointing up

it is screaming <<hurry up>>

and then <<tick,tack,tick,tack>>

Wake me up

I bought you on my trip to Prague,

You caught my eye with your faded pink colour,

You served me well all these months,

Countless refills of coffee and tea,

My one and only morning companion,

The only way to start the day.

But yesterday I was in a rush,

And I tripped over and broke you into a million pieces.

It was as if I lost a friend.

You will be missed my favourite mug.

My toothbrush

Standing there

sullen, sad, sympathetic

to her friends:

the toothpaste and the floss.

She's lonely in her cup

Tall and blue

Completely still

Waiting for me to use her.

My toothbrush is thinking of placing an ad

Like lonely people do, in need of a friend.

My musical treatment

I really love it, you know!
It makes my day when I feel blue.
All I need to do 
is to turn it on and
let the music come out of it.
The songs are like my medication
when a day of mine is pretty awful.
And its speakers are like
the doctor who is saving my day
by giving me the songs.
When I am all alone in the house
I turn the music on too loud 
and my room becomes a concert hall
thanks to it
It really makes my day, you know!

My winter's company

You are always with me when days get cold,

I feel you all over me like the sweetest hug.

You offer me protection all day long

And your fur is all I want.

I once forgot you at a club

It was only for some minutes, so please don’t get mad!

In your pockets you carry my stuff

And when I put your hood on I look tough.

You also match with everything I wear

Even with the t-shirt that’s from Clare!

An unusual doll

Round face

Decorated by curly, red hair

 And blue eyes as bright as pearls

Soft hands

 Tightly embrace you

 And make you feel wonderfully

 What is she looking for?

 Stars or moon?

 None of them!

She is looking for her charming prince

 Where is his kingdom?

 She is running faster and faster

 All of a sudden she disappeared...

 Where has she been?

 I woke up and i searched for her...

 Fortunately, it was a nightmare!

-Mary Magra

Her Best Friend

I am blue. Although the most usual colour,

I am her favourite.

She holds me tight

and I am like her best friend.

At first she presses me

in order to wake me up

and then she does not stop writing.

I have written projects, essays, poems.

In the summer I am on vacation,

as she does not need me so much.

But when the school starts,

I am here again fighting with the blanco!
