Home

De Ishu Gupta, edad: 8 años, de La India (primer premio)

My sweet home! My sweet home!
I love my home! I love my home!

If wind comes who will protect me?
If winter comes who will protect me?

My home, my home nice for me.
My home, my home a temple for me.

If summer comes who will protect me?
If rain comes who will protect me?

My home, my home best for me.
My home, my home a mosque for me.

If night comes who will shelter me?
If storm comes who will shelter me?

My home, my home is good for me.
A majestic creation of Thee.

There is no place like house, home

De Melanie Duarte Sanchez, edad: 8 años, de Méjico (segundo premio)

There are many things we call a house,
Like small dark holes in the walls for the noisy mouse.

Tall windy nests in the trees are what flying birds like the most,
But dirty deep holes in the ground are cosy for rabbits and moles.

Dogs and kittens sleep in soft pillows,
And little spiders make webs in the corners of some windows.

Crocodiles and snakes enjoy muddy swamps,
But beavers prefer to build their own dams.

Fish and whales live in the wet blue sea,
And wood or brick buildings are houses for you and me.
But what really matters is:
To have a home where you can feel safe and free.

Different Home

De Tong Ho Kan Kenny, edad: 8 años, de Hong Kong (tercer premio)

One man,
he has a home.
It is a bus,
because he is a bus driver.

One old man,
He has no home,
because he is a ghost.

One super man,
he has a home.
It is the space!

My Darling Home

De Ada Ciontu, edad: 7 años, de Romania (altamente recomendado)

When I go home,
I eat, I sleep,
I colour, I bother
And no-one minds.

I watch TV
And get a treat,
Even I trick.

I take a shower,
Put on a flower,
Pull out my baby teeth
And smile a bit.

When I feel blue,
Mom and Dad “moo”,
And you can see my smile,
Out from a mile.

Oh, I love my darling home,
Where everybody loves me
Just the way I am.

Home for Everyone

De Bohdan Meleshko, edad: 7 años, de Ucrania (altamente recomendado)

My home’s a country house,
my teacher’s home’s a flat
a hole’s a home for a mouse,
a snail’s home’s on its back.
All beings have their own homes.
Homes can be big or small.
I am so sorry for all those
who have no home at all.
The world will be more fun
if there’s a home for everyone!

A house we built together

De Cristina Vrincianu, edad: 11 años, de Romania (primer premio)

Our house is a house.
We built it together.
We have laid every brick one by one.
We have nailed every board, one blow at a time.
Our house is a house.
We built it together.

Not every board is perfect, some are not even straight.
Some walls are built in the wrong place.
We must carefully remove those boards
We must carefully remove those walls.

We must rebuild them in the right place.
We must replace each board one by one
Until the holes are all filled
Until all the walls are in the right place.

When we have finished
We can stand back and say
“This is our house,
A house we built together!” 

“Home – my friend”

De Mikolaj Marsy, edad: 11 años, de Polonia (segundo premio)

My walls are yellow like sunrays in the morning
My roof is red like maple leaves in Autumn
My door is brown like sweet chocolate boiling
My windows – limping like lakes in the mountains.

I’m as old as your grandpa who’s collecting stamps
I’m as safe as the money in Swiss banks
I’m as happy as your best friends
I’m as warm as flames in the fireplace.

I don’t want to leave you
I like when you are in
I hate when you go out
I love when we are near.

Home?

De Anastasi Panagiotopoulou, edad: 9 años, de Grecia (tercer premio) 

For a fox, it’s its den,
For a snail, it’s its shell,
For a bird, it’s the sky,
For me, it’s my school.
You’re probably wondering why.
Am I a fool?
I come from a broken family.
My school makes me feel like a baby kangaroo
in its pouch.
Safe, warm and wanted.
School, sweet school...

Moon in the Sky

De Pablo Vincent, edad: 11 años, de Francia (altamente recomendado) 

Flowers in the sitting room,
Rain in the garden
lights off
I’m in bed

 I dream a house

De Lorenzo Di Biagio y Luca Oleari, edad: 10 años, de Italia

I go to the supermarket and I write a list.
I buy a golden wall,
an ice door
and seven floors.
A diamond chair,
a collection of Montblanc pens.
A fire disc,
a metal chimney
a silver roof.
An orange fridge
an LED 4D TV.
A rock window.
A chocolate table,
a water armchair, a pair of pears
A crystal bed and a good dad.
