A poem by Ghida Al-Lehyani

Here is a poem written by a student of mine ;)

Ghaida Al-Lehyani 

Try to reach your dreams...
I wonder, why do you cry?
Don't be shy..
It seems that you never succeed,
But that would be wrong indeed!
It's not too hard to achieve your dream, dear
just open your mind and think clear 

Live your day 
free from sorrow
and see what will happen tomorrow
hopes and dreams will come true 
you just work hard to find a clue

~*~ In a Poetry Class ~*~

In  a poetry class,

you learn how to dance

between a line or two

how to dive in a sea

that could or not be true!!

You learn

how to say

enchanted words

& rhythms

that could take your breath away!

You learn

to dare

to be fully there

aware

of the distance

the resistance

of a line

of a word

of a thought sublime

that would not surrender

unless you have the power

and the key

to unlock

its inner mystery!

A poem is

A love affair

tempting you to be fully there

cross the sea

to really see

the gems hiding within

the world twirling wherein!

and you have to be

brave and free...

with a heart and mind

that can never be blind

but strong enough

to crawl - if it must-the mile

then finally

enjoy the coveted-reward with a smile :)

A newcastle dialect {something to share}

I've something very interesting. I went to Newcastle on my last holiday and I met a lot of new friends there. They told me something very crazy, nice and cool. They told me that there is a special language just for teenagers (as I was told-not completely sure) in Newcastle to communicate with each other and no one can understand them; if you go to Manchester , London and Scotland or any city in London they can't understand it .. that’s really cool! I like it .

They taught me some words and by the way there are no spelling rules in this language . and here are some examples :

Loosh = good or very good

Toon = home

Ola=hi

Traa = good bye

Are you ok ? = are you alreet ?

Yes I'm ok = yes am I alreet

How are you ? I'm fine = how are you ? ooh cany cany (you should say it two times )

What  do you think about MS . Nisreen ? she is very nice and friendly = what do you think about MS .Nisreen? she's cany

I hope you like it and I hope I could teach you more and more about Jordie or  Geordie language. I always talk with my lovely British teacher to learn more and more about it . Because I love it .

Thanks  all
