Francesca Catani è una ragazza di 4B Classico che, come tanti altri studenti del Liceo, ha deciso di frequentare la classe quarta negli Stati Uniti.

Da sempre molto impegnata nello studio, si è distinta anche in America, ottenendo ottimi voti e vincendo addirittura un premio di poesia con il suo testo Casa mia.

Francesca al momento vive ad Astoria, nel South Dakota e frequenta con soddisfazione la Deubreook High School.

Complimenti cara Francesca, siamo orgogliosi di te e ti aspettiamo a settembre!

Ecco il meritevole testo della poesia premiata:

My home

Is the tasty smell of food

When you walk through the door,

Is those bad sci-fi movies

Four on a couch made for two,

Is the same music every day

from untouchable records,

Is extremely long board games

Played between fights and laughs,

Is a house that seems too small for four.

My home is never silence

Or a break from the crowdedness.

But now far from home what’s left to enjoy?

Pictures of suppers

And taste left to mind,

Nothing to watch

On a comfortable chair,

Memories of music

That never goes on,

Me, myself and I

Not fighting or laughing, winning or losing,

Always alone in the heavy silence

And never a break from the emptiness of every place,

In a room that seems too big to be just for me.

My home is never silence

Or a break from the crowdedness,

And there’s nothing I miss more

than my imperfect home.
