Her parents couldn’t guess how they had made her life a mess and that she needed some caress.

6. Let’s think everyone is an eye-witness. Let’s think that we observe and record what happens to our world. There is chaos, there is madness. There’s evil, there is bitterness. A world filled with “ness” Also, I see pettiness, I see emptiness. I see we‘ve got a tendency to neglectfulness. I record coldness, I record firmness. I even see more hopelessness Everyone is chasing greatness, everyone cares about fitness. Nothing exists but greediness So, we say “mind your own business:. When I dream, I dream of goodness. I dream of people full of kindness a world without aggressiveness Where we couldn’t pass into nothingness. Providing that we stopped being nameless that there was brightness and happiness. Providing that consciousness and forgiveness returned and replaced deceitfulness, Wouldn’t we live in a world without darkness? So, start dreaming of friendliness, of a world of progressiveness! Start having impulsiveness, leave your narrow – mindedness, and your heartlessness! Only this way, our world will be full of “positive” words ending in – ness! Eirine Simou

7. A silly poem Once there was a little girl called Missy Molly Bess. Her father was a doctor, her mom a baroness. Missy Molly wasn’t jolly, she was in great distress and always tried to find ways to escape from the press. Her parents did nothing, but always overstress, that her room was a terrible mess and that she couldn’t keep it in neatness. She was also always accused of carelessness and silliness. However, Missy Molly Bess wanted to be an actress, to have great success and the people to obsess. She also wanted to buy a tight dress To stress her slimness, which she kept despite eating fish with mayonnaise. Missy Molly, nonetheless, was suffering from loneliness, because not only did her parents manage her to oppress, but they didn’t also let her go to her friends to play chess. So, her life was colourless, in darkness. A full year passed and Missy Molly Bess who was thought to be full of silliness ended up a famous actress and she managed everybody to impress she had real finesse! Efi Kassimati
