Senior 1 Poetry answering the question:

“How has the electronic age taken the romance out of life?”

My name is computer,

I can think;

My name is computer,

I can sing;

My name is computer,

I can sum;

My name is computer,

I can read!

But now I do almost everything for people,

What do people do?

What do people do?

Where is the romance?

Where is the romance?

- Group 1 (Class 7)

******************************************************

Romance gone,

Wireless here.

The world is totally changed,

The Internet is coming,

It has destroyed our romance.

Oh,my dear romance,

where did you go?

Take me there,

Take me to the place,where you are!

For we, who now behold these present days,

have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise!

                                           - Cindy 郑欣怡, Ivy 朱琰阳, Dick 吴迪科, Jason 鲍奕刚 (Class 7)

Oh! Computer!

Wow! E-mail!

Yeah! Internet!

You’ve widened my horizon.

You’ve brought all kinds of people to be my friends.

You’ve helped me a lot

I love you!

Oh! Computer!

Wow! E-mail!

Yeah! Internet!

Because of you my eyesight becomes worse.

Because of you, I become lazier and lazier.

You’ve taken romance out of my life.

I hate you.

Oh! Computer!

Wow! E-mail!

Yeah! Internet!

I want to get rid of you.

But I can’t live without you!

Oh! My god! What can I do with you?

I used to have dreams:

red rose, golden beach and blue sky

lie in the sun

sing a lovely song.

But the electronic age has come

dreams have gone

grey machine, cold metal and fast life,

how can you store my warm heart?

We learn more,

but we think less

We have more,

but we smile less

the electronic age has gone

but where are you, my dreams?

                                - Queen, Wallice, Wing, Wendy

****************************************************** 

I spend lengthy nights with my telly

I walk along prosperous streets with my mobile

I travel around the world with my laptop

And where are you, my fellow?

- Sarea, Mike, Mary, Evelyn (Class 5)

When Computers Were Born

I miss you but I don't need to meet you face to face;

I love you but I don't need to hug you day after day;

I need you but I don't need to be with you side by side;

WHY?

Computers were born!

My dream

My dream,

flowers, clouds, water.

The butterfly is waving its wings.

The cuckoo is whispering under the tree.

The little lion is running on the field.

You hide my eyes under your hand softly.

But when the electronic storm rises from the ground

In my dream ,

there are only 0 and 1.

- May, Amanda, Jerry, Simon (Class 1)

You send e-mails to say hello to your friends.

You keep in touch with others on the Internet.

You don't like speaking, You send messages.

You are proud of having so many friends.

You look through other's blogs to know about them.

You get knowledge from Wiki.

You shop at Taobao.

You copy e-cards and send them to someone else.

One day, you fall ill.

"Help me!" ----you send e-mails and messages.

No one responds

                 ----Your "friends" don't know who you are.

The Electronic Age has Taken the Romance Out of Life

           Ten years ago

           You sent me a bunch of flowers.

           But today, only an e-rose.           

            What made you unromantic?

             Ten years ago

              You sent me a piece of a sweet letter .

               But today, only an e-mail.

              What made you unromantic?

             Ten years ago

              You gave me a sweet kiss.

              But today, only a sentence on the screen 

              From your MSN:

              Happy Birthday

              What made you unromantic?

               What made you unromantic?

                The electronic age.

Let's go to climb the mountains!

No. I'm playing computer games.

Let's go to play tennis!

No. I'm busy with my documents.

The reality is always serious,

which makes all imagination useless.

Does electronica kill romance?

Has modern life stolen our dreams?

The whole world is now in silence.

- Sherry, Cherry, Johnson, Bill (Class 1)

Yesterday we used wood, played happily.

Today we use metal, feeling just so-so, you know?

Tomorrow we will use fibers and cry, lonely.

TECHNOLOGY KILLS THE ROMANCE 

Technology broke the angels' wings

they can't fly through clouds.

Although science helps us a lot those days,

it kills our dreams!

- Group G (Class 8)

******************************************************

Yesterday once more

When I was young

Playing roles

Playing hide and seek

Swimming in the river flowing through my village

Enjoying crops in fields

I felt free and satisfied

As time goes by

Watching TV programs

Sitting in front of computers

Sending e-mails to my friends

Taking subways from place to place

We are living in a lucky day

But do we feel substantial?

-  (Class 8)

******************************************************

say goodbye to books

we read on the computer

say goodbye to letters

we send email on the computer

say good bye to chess

we play chess on the computer

computer computer computer

we say goodbye to ourselves, some day

- Anonymous

Sometimes you look at the computer,

Sometimes you look at the dream.

It is a short distance

when you look at the computer,

It is a long distance

when you look at the dream.

- Group I (Class 6)

******************************************************

The electronic age has taken the romance out of life

There was a time, some old people say,

In the warm sunshine, boys and girls used to play.

The sky would never turn grey,

And all of us tend to sincerely pray.

But one day,

A strong storm carried everything away.

Internet, mp3 players and iPhones,

All came into being from an ash tray.

E-mails are sent here and there,

Even our Mother Earth can not bear.

Seeing two confused lovers engaging under the Eiffel Tower,

I want to scream out: “Where is the romance in life?”

The electronic age——

Give the romance back,

To all the people working in the endless dark.

           - Sam (Class 1)

The Electronic Age Has Taken The Romance Out Of Life

I used to see green. I used to see red.

I used to see that I was over the rainbow.

I used to wish that some day I would be upon a star.

All troubles would melt into lemon drops.

Sweet smell of jasmines would surround me.

Oh, my beautiful dream.

As time went on, I had someone new to rely on.

I waved my hands to welcome the electronic days.

Now I see cubes. Now I see dotas.

Now I see chips in my mind

----I think logically and solve problems, in wise.

Black and white, hard and cold.

It's a road , whose beginning and ending have already gone.

Where is my dream?

Where am I ?

The electronic age has taken the romance out of life.

- Anny, Angel, Tom, Mike

******************************************************

When we enter a world

Full of electricity and technology

We will suddenly find

The moonlight in the dark blue sky has gone

The candlelight on the table has gone

Face-to-face talks between girls and boys have gone

Oh, my love

Where are you?

You ask me

What is the most valuable thing in the world?

The car, the house, the TV, the MP3, the MP4?

No!

The most valuable thing is,

When we are both old, you with me, I love you.

But can it come true?

You have mobile phones, I have mobile phones.

How can I receive your hand-written letters?

You have cars, I have cars

How can we walk together, see all the beautiful views?

You have MP3s, I have MP3s

How can I hear your sweet songs?

Oh, my love!

- Viola, Anny, Coco, Eva (Class 4)

THE DISASTER

After the earthquake

My apartment became flat

And after the electronic age flooded over

My life turned Atlantis-like

The only reason it could be

Is the pieces of romance are lying in ruins

EMOTION

The human race appears to be nothing but emotion

While my iPad replaces everything except emotion

At the moment there emerged gloss and grace in my memory

The stuff I face is merely a dim screen

- Class 2 (Adward’s Group)

******************************************************

The electronic age comes

And romance goes away

People eat dinner without candles

The electronic age comes

And romance goes away

People express love without letters

The electronic age comes

And romance goes away

People find girlfriends without a date

- (Harry’s Group)
