Form Two

Poets

From the Teacher … Writing poetry is a fascinating task. You need to say so much and express yourself in so few words, therefore, you must choose your words wisely. Besides expanding your horizons and developing your vocabulary, writing poetry is a great destressing activity. It is therapeutic to have the freedom to express your emotions and freedom on paper in a magical and mystical way.

Through our commitment to the NSS Curriculum, St. Mary’s has offered all Form 2 students this year, a chance to learn more about poetry and lyrics in a specially designed learning module. Besides learning poetic devices and being exposed to and studying a cross section of poetry, students produced a wealth of their own touching and inspiring poems.

In this little book, we are showcasing a sampling of some of the impressive poems that our Form 2 girls wrote. It has been an extremely rewarding teaching experience for me to witness the little caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies. Congratulations to all of the student contributors and please enjoy reading our, Form Two Poetry Collection. I would also like to extend a very sincere thank you to Ms. Maggie Wong, who compiled this book for us.

My Missing Darling

You are the apple of my eye. You are the one and only.

You are the one who makes me smile when I cry. You are the one standing by my side when I am in need

But now I can't find you. Where are you?

I miss you Where are you?

Every time we meet, I feel satisfied. One look, I know what you are thinking. You are playful, prudent, and perfect. Every time you smile, my heart melts

I know we can't go back to the past I know we can't let the time restart,

I know I can't live without you. And I know I really miss you.

The days when you were here, were really sweet.

I beg you Cupid, just once, Let me see him again please……

I really miss you. I know that it is useless to say this to you,

Because you are not by my side anymore……

St. Mary’s

Following the summer breeze,

I stepped into St. Mary’s.

The sunlight, the blue skies, the trees

And the bees all impressed me.

Standing amongst the fall leaves,

I smiled at ST Mary’s.

The buildings, the statues, the lessons

And the clouds comforted me.

Touching the winter’s lips

I dreamt of St. Mary’s.

The warmth, the softness, the wind

And the blue skies that hugged me.

Smelling the spring’s fresh breath

I danced wildly and freely at ST. Mary’s.

The passion from my teachers, my friends

Awakened the sleeping girl inside of me.

For seasons, I will sit in these seats,

And at St. Mary’s I will live.

She is my dear, loving mother

Into my heart she kissed.

St Mary’s

Surrounded by nature, giggles, chattering and laughter,

St Mary’s is my learning paradise.

With terrific teaching, patient caring, a great learning

atmosphere and friendly peers,

I learn plenty throughout my school years.

I love St Mary’s with all my might.

It is my favorite place and all my happy memories lie

within its sight.

I think I was very lucky to be

Accepted into the prestigious St Mary’s College,

And I hope that many others will have the chance

To be educated and blessed at St Mary’s.

The Beloved Star

The little baby blue bird

Falls in love with the tiny twinkling tender star,

High up the sky.

He tells the star how he loves her every night

Although the star seems like never to listen to him.

But this hardly hurts his heart,

Because there is faith,

Because there is hope,

Because there is love.

He will never give up

Until the time he can spread his wings and fly,

Far away to the twinkling star,

To give his message love to the star.

Nothing is Going to Change my Love for You

If I have to live my life without you, The days would all be empty,

The nights would seem so long. I can’t live without you.

My love for you is higher than the mountain, My love for you is a river, flowing into your heart.

If you find yourself lost in the dark, I am the light to guide you.

Remember the first time that we met,You stole my heart, with just one look.

Now, when I go back there, I just wish you were there.

No matter how long I need to wait, No matter how much you have hurt me

No matter how much you disappointed me. I will always love you,

Like an idiot, waiting in the same place.

Listen boy, I just wanna let you know,

There is nobody in the world, That could ever take your place.

St. Mary’s is a united family.

Full of love and joy,

St. Mary’s is just like my mother,

who cares for me and protects me.

Because there is HOPE,

Because there is LOVE,

Because there is JOY,

All of us feel warm and sweet just like sitting by a

warm cozy fire eating honey

St. Mary’s you must go on forever!

I feel like I’m a caged bird. People whispering behind my back, Tears stream down my face, Frustration and anger wells up inside me. No one understands me. No one sees the real me. I’m tired of wearing a mask. It feels like there is a wall separating me with the rest of the world. I really want to break through and fly away, But I just don’t know how. I feel like I have been pierced. And that my heart is being torn apart. When will this ever stop? I keep on faking my smile. Counting my footsteps ‘til I reach home. No one understands me. No one sees the real me. I’m tired of wearing a mask. It feels like there is a wall separating me with the rest of the world. I really want to break through and fly away. But I just don’t know how. When can the little girl fly? Fly so high that she can reach the sky. When can she do everything, be everything she wants to? She doesn’t know either. She is still counting the time, the time for her to shine, And feel free from the chains that keep her captive.

St. Mary's Canossian College Sits quietly beside the noisy road just like a girl sitting on a park bench silently Girls play happily during recess Girls sit on the big steps and have a well-deserved rest Girls chat noisily and form groups 'Ding Dong!' Everything turns quiet again as the girls rush back to class. Our school, my school, my family and my paradise finding joy in the deepest part of my heart making memories for my life's album Birds come and invite flowers to grow. Birds sing and look at the most beautiful flowers. Birds rest and mourn the dead flowers. Birds fly and leave us alone, but our school, our buildings. accompany us from spring to winter. I love my school, my adorable school, you are a peaceful, quiet place, and the place for me to look at the sunset and the sunset of life.

Standing proudly here for a hundred years.

She was here when people traveled by horses.

A witness to the chapters that have been written.

Originally five buildings stately stood,

But now only three buildings stand.

These beautiful buildings bear bountiful, brilliant,

Leaders of the future!

Don’t You Remember?

We were once like sweet candies,always sticking together.We were once like sweet candies, giving each other sweet memories.

But, how could you betray me? Don’t you remember those days, that we sat and chatted under the tree And swam in the sea?

Don’t you remember when we shared our teddy bears And played with them beside the rocking chair?Don’t you remember we had the same dreamTo be on the same singing team?

I bet you have forgotten, right?I really treasure this friendship.But, you have ruined it And smashed it into pieces!

Never mind, I am strong enough to overcome this betrayal.I am so much better than you.And, from this second onwards,You are nothing to me anymore! By: Vanessa Yang 2A

My school campus is beautiful,

Teachers and students here are joyful. Although the traffic around us is dreadful,

The sound of the the birds' singing above us is blissful.

The school is always full of excitement,

Houses and clubs provide us a lot of fun. Swimming Gala, Sports Meet and drama,

these are part of St. Mary’s mania.

St Mary’s

Once a St Marian, forever a St Marian. Never forget the smiles, the laughter, and the love we share. Every St Marian grows here, and changes from a caterpillar into a beautiful, brilliant, butterfly.

Here we shine and show our spirit. Every time when I am sad, teachers always take my hand and comfort me. Always encouraging me to do my best, Realizing that we are all made the same but each one of us is unique. Time marches on and before we know it, our studies will be complete.

Once a St Marian, forever a St Marian. Never forget the smiles, the laughter, and the love we share. Every St Marian grows here, and changes from a caterpillar into a beautiful, brilliant, butterfly.

We love St Mary’s.A place where we grow, Yellow, Red, White, Blue, these colours keep us so true.

Five Senses Poem - Hong Kong

Hong Kong looks like fireworks, colourful and attractive.

Hong Kong smells like a field of flowers,

Some smell good, some smell bad.

Hong Kong tastes like a box of chocolates,

Some taste sweet, some taste bitter.

Hong Kong sounds like a trumpet, loud and clear.

Hong Kong feels like rocks, tough and strong.

Hong Kong is my home.

I love Hong Kong.

The first day that I first saw you, It felt like you were the angel from the golden sky, And you just smiled with your beautiful eyes. You said hi, and happiness struck. I knew immediately that you would be mine, Like forever and always I knew that we would meet again sometime soon. Nothing could stop us from falling in love. And all the gods were jealous of us You’re the biggest gift that I’ve ever wanted. I feel guilty for having you. I don’t feel I deserve you. I’m sorry, so sorry, that I love you. We walked everywhere. You told me you’d never ever hurt me. I asked myself secretly, Do you know you are my fantasy?

My Dear Friend

I miss you, it’s true.

When I’m alone, you phone.

When I’m desperate, you’re considerate.

When I say I’m okay, you know it’s my gloomy day.

I want to stay but I don’t dare say.

Because time will soon fly away,

In a blink of an eye, all will disappear,

And I won’t be able to see you anymore…

The end of the world!

I’ll not be afraid,

As long as you’re not frustrated,

I’ll miss you, it’s true.

♥ PLEASE LOVE ME MORE THAN I DO ♥

I love myself, Especially, when I am with you. I am stronger than you. I am prettier than you. I love myself more, Especially, when I am in school. Compared to me, you're just a fool, or something worse than a fool. I love myself more, Especially, when I am sick. I smile and laugh when I take medicine. You cry and yell at me Even, when you eat lunch with me. I love myself more than you do. Please love me more than I love myself.

Stormy night, sparkling lights, Where did you go? Where did you hide? (Repetition) Did you bear me in mind? Someone said that you’d died, But I knew you were inside. (Rhyming) Each day when the train passed by, I would wait for you . I continued waiting for an eternity, (Hyperbole) Recalling my sweet days with you… When the sun was shining, and flower were blossoming. One day you got off the train, And rapidly increased your pace, You ran to me to hug me with a smiley face. (Rhyming) I remembered how you greeted me, How you hugged me, How you smiled at me, And how much you love me. (Repetition)

MMy Love to My Dear

You are my clown who always cheers me up.

You are my light when there is darkness.

You are my guard who protects and cares for me all of the time.

You are happy when I am delighted.

You are sad when I feel sorrow.

You are furious when I am being bullied.

When you are beside me ,

the flowers bloom in bright colour,

the birds sing in perfect harmony,

and the clouds dance gracefully in the blue sky.

The light no longer comes from the sun,

And you’re covered with twinkling stars.

When you’re whispering to me,

No other sounds are heard by me,

My ear is full of your singing voice,

And my heart is filled with the images of yours.

My dear,

My love for you is more than all the sand on the beach.

I love you,

As long as the Earth will never die.

The first day we met, The first time we kissed.

When I first saw you, I knew I would fall in love with you.

You mean everything to me. You are the most important thing to me.

I love you so much that I wish I were your pet.

I remember all the crazy things you said, You left them running through my head.

You’re always there and everywhere,But right now I wish you were here.

You are the only boy that I need, The only one that I dream about endlessly.

I want to say I think you’re perfect. You know I think you’re perfect.

My Dog Wanted Another Hotdog By: Gloria Ip, Katherine Lai , Sammi Leung, Zoe Li 2B

I have a stupid dog, Lily is her name.

One day, I brought her a hotdog, “Mmm…It’s very yummy!” thought Lily.

She barked at me, asking me to give her another.

However, she was barking up the wrong tree, Because I wouldn’t give her another.

Then, Lily became crazy.

She blew up the kitchen fire, As bold as bold could be.

“Stop! Stupid dog! “I screamed at the top of my voice, But she never listened to me.

She jumped on the sofa,

Started chewing my unfinished homework. The next day, I could only tell my teacher, “Sorry, Miss! My dog ate my homework! “

LLove is Blind

Love is like blindness. Everything is sweet when you are in love. People warn you that you will be useless Once you are struck by the love bug.

Love is as red as blood. Love is as beautiful as roses. Love is as sweet as candy. The sound of our heart beating is our love song!

After you have gone, I think my world will collapse. But I am wrong I know I can fix my heart by myself.

Once again, thank you for your LOVE.

Every time I see you my heart beats fast.

When you walk with other girls I feel upset.

In class you are smart and always come first.

You are like the sunshine melting my heart.

Compared to you I am just a small character.

With neither good looks nor great performances.

The only adjective for me is ordinary.

Who you will never ever notice.

I know I don't have long blonde hair that you like.

Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky.

Your dream girl will never be me.

But please, let me love you secretly.

Love you secretly...

My Only LOVE

Blah, blah, blah Just stop saying those sweet romantic things.

My heart is broken because of it. And my tears keep falling down to form a sea.

The letters you sent me had already turned yellow.

The roses you gave me had already died. The puppy you bought me was already old.

And my heart is dead because of your death. And you left me behind to face this lonely boring world.

No one will send me romantic love letters.

No one will give me charming red roses. No one will buy me a lovely little puppy. And no one will I fall in love with again.

And that’s all because you are my only LOVE.

~An Adorable Puppy~

When I first saw you,

The minute I looked into your eyes,

I knew I found my true love.

I wanted to ask what is your name,

But I thought it was very stupid and lame.

The minute I looked at you,

I decided to name you Buddy,

You are a very lucky doggie,

Because you found me as your buddy.

Because of your smile like sunshine,

Because of your cute little eyes,

Because of your chocolate color, curly, fur,

My heart beats faster than a drum,

When I see you coming bounding at me.

What about me, what do I look like?

Unfortunately, I can’t read your mind.

But I will not sigh,

Because I know you also love me.

So, please come home with me,

My little puppy!

Ruff, ruff ,ruff I know it’s ridiculous, But I DO understand what she says. It’s three words, eight letters, one meaning, I love you. And I smile back, then whisper, “I love you too” Clever and intelligent, Cute and Pretty, She is more reliable than any human. I know I will always have her. What would life be without her? Ruff, ruff ,ruff I know it’s ridiculous, But I DO understand what she says. It’s three words, eight letters, one meaning I love you And I smile back, then whisper, “I love you too”.
