詩人（Aya）

学校から戻ってきた作文やら工作の作品たち。日頃の宿題に追われる生活の成果をまとまった形で見るとなんだか報われる。それぞれに、丁寧な仕事をしているんじゃないかと思う。中でもAyaHideともに感心したのが、詩の作品たち。どういう風に教えられているのかとか、どんな詩を読んで学んでいるのかとか、まったく関心を払っていなかったのだが、なかなかの表現力。いくつか書き写してみた；

Anger To Thoughts

By Yuu Ishikawa

I used to be mad at myself.

The world was burning.

Flaming.

Red hot.

Bun I thought.

I was still clueless.

In why I was mad at myself.

I would cry.

Scream.

Ignore.

But as I thought, my feeling changed.

I had a mind full of madness.

My heart was in pain.

It hurt.

And yelled.

But as my feeling changed, I was aware.

I became sorry.

For what I had said to myself.

Stupid.

Dumb.

Too childish.

But I stood brave and continued to think.

In the future I'll learn to think before I say.

I will challenge myself to stay brave.

Strong.

Determined.

But most of all, to keep going.

If I Were in Charge of the World

By Yuu Ishikawa

If I were in charge of the world

I'd cancel war,

bullying, and also

girl stuff.

If I were in charge of the world

There'd be more P.E. during school,

pets for every family, and 

tennis rackets that you design yourself.

If I were in charge of the world

You wouldn't have pain.

You wouldn't have messy.

You wouldn't have bad luck.

Or "Do your Japanese homework!"

There wouldn't even be such thing as homework.

If I were in charge of the world

Anyone can grow anything in less than 30 seconds.

All things would be equal for people.

Any a person who doesn't care much more than tennis,

And sometimes gets in trouble at home,

Would still be allowed to be 

In charge of the world.

ほかにも色々。。

テニスが題材の大半を占めているのも、親心をくすぐる。
私の観察では、Yuuはあまり物事を深く考える性質ではないんだけど、ちょっと見方を変えた方がいいのかな、と思わされる作品集だった。

（まだ心のどこかで、「どの作家の詩を真似したんだろう」と疑ってるわたし）。
