A SUMMER UNDER THE STARS
(English translation by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe)
.
ASTRONOMY CAMP
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (Bucharest)
.
In an astronomy camp,
adults become children
when they look at the sky
with the naked eye,
and children become adults
when they look at the sky
through the telescope.
.
A LOOK AT THE STARS
By Valentin Grigore (Targoviste)
.
We must look at the stars together
because they do not shine alone.
.
A look at the stars
brings you hope
to get up.
.
HAIKU
By Alex Vizitiu (Bucharest)
.
Ionization channels,
lights that shine through the night -
electric silence.
.
MOON
By Adda Cristiana Mitrache (14 years old, Targoviste)
.
What does the Moon announce in the sky?
The night that comes from the past.
.
Stars surround
her light with life,
a burden falls from the shoulders
for she suddenly can conquer you.
.
Like a cheese plate,
she creates big waves on the shore.
.
The night is ending.
Farewell! The day
no longer receives moonlight!
.
AURORA BOREALIS
By Alexandru David Datcu (18 years old, Bucharest)
.
The sun sends us a vital sign,
we become colors,
sigh on the horizon...
From the north, across the boat,
lights appear.
.
Tears in the sky,
feelings perish,
the aurora disappears,
longing reappears!
.
AUNT COMET’S THREAT
By Alec Bartos (Cluj-Napoca)
.
One more orbit please
I still want to shake my tail!
.
Am I asking much of you, All-Bright One?
It's not enough that I orbit you
regularly in silence, for so long…
And I didn't say anything?
.
I know you're enjoying it!
You can't hide your…
solar flares.
.
But even though it's not pretty
I threaten you calculatedly!
.
If you burn me again
to the next orbit
I drop my tail like a lizard.
.
THROUGH MY EYES
By Sophia Maria Andrei (12 years old, Bucharest)
.
Through my eyes I see the stars,
hundreds, thousands, how many?
The constellations take shape
and another meteor falls.
.
THE STAR CATCHER
By Ariel Voicu (13 years old, Bucharest)
.
The darkest part of the Universe
shoots millions of stars
for a ring of light.
.
It attracts everything:
stars, planets...
and makes a small collection,
collects them all
creating a galaxy
of possibilities and mysteries
.
HAIKU
By Constantin Kapitza (Bucharest)
.
The same builders
in a Milky Way,
our island.
.
HOW HARD?
By Ion(ut) Moraru (Bucharest)
.
How hard would it be for a man
to reach Mars?
.
There, the robot Curiosity could
walk on Mount Sharp,
the Perseverance rover collected
samples with laser jets,
and the Ingenuity helicopter demonstrated
that it can fly to a planet other than Earth,
which I think
makes enough history.
.
IN A SARM SUMMER CAMP
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (Bucharest)
.
On a mountain plateau
with about 10 telescopes
and about 25 sky lovers...
.
One says that in the sky we can see
airplanes, which fly slower,
artificial satellites, which fly faster,
and meteors, which fly the fastest.
.
One turns to Cassiopeia
and remains captivated by her charm.
.
One is happy to have seen a meteor.
.
One says about the constellations
that Serpens should be called Draco
and Draco should be called Serpens.
.
Two puppies, fans of the event,
bark approvingly from time to time,
foretelling that the heavenly return
of the dogs of Orion
is not far.
