Poems
My dear,
I invite you to read my poem about Newcomer from Nice Things Gallery.
Weronika Madryas
Wroclaw, on 4.05. 2023
A newcomer from the Gallery of Pretty Things
Father gave me a Guardian Angel,
writer and poet.
He found it in the Gallery of Pretty Things
and took me and Anna Marianna to my house.
No problem with an angel
I thought as I looked at the cardboard box.
The angel fell asleep on a wooden board
in a cast iron bed.
He covered himself with a quilt in roses,
he took off his slippers and put on a nightcap.
He hung his wings on the railing just behind his head,
He did not complain of back pain or discomfort.
Round glasses with wire frames,
feather in hand and open book
waiting patiently for the end of the angel's sleep...
Asleep cats and curious mice
right next to the angel's bed they doze.
The breath of the writer and the poet is calm,
kind and gentle face.
Guardian Angel lulled by dreams
he probably keeps awake in his sleep
over Anna Marianna and over me…
My dear,
the war in Ukraine has been going on for many months, and it is still not easy to explain to children the enormity of misery and suffering that it brings. I decided that a rhyme could be helpful in talking to the youngest. So I invite you to read.

Nitup
Where the golden ears of cereals are
there is a land of little mice,
who value peace and quiet
and pleasant silence around.
They have blue sky in the flag,
gold suns from sunflowers,
which are everywhere.
Their neighbor is a rat king,
who has a great desire to fight.
I want to take over a mouse country,
then move on quickly w dal
Take the mountains and valleys
and distant lands.
"World! You'll be all mine! And I will be one king!"
Warriors call him Nitup,
unwilling, savages.
They left early at dawn,
to destroy the lives of mice.
The mouse king knows well,
that it is not easy to defend yourself.
He looks at his country with concern,
knows Nitup's terrible plan.
The mice will defend themselves,
mice won't give up!
Little mice with their mothers
and with grandmothers, old people
Need to ship overseas,
to save their lives there.
For squirrels, foxes, hedgehogs,
even strange bats.
A little mouse called Mika
she landed in the chicken coop
"Corn, corn! We've got a mouse in our henhouse!"
Ko-ko-ko, ko-ko-ko, so what?
Need to feed her soon.
Haunted, skinny,
we'll starve to death here."
As they said, so they did,
they quickly watered the mouse.
Today under the roost a mouse hole,
no chicken goes there.
Mika jokes sometimes
with the hen that lays the eggs.
Red hen, very thin
she said what she knew:
Ko-ko, ko-ko, you have a hundred cousins here!
The one from the mole, wearing glasses,
you would be a nice couple.
Two more in hamsters,
sometimes they roam the henhouse.
Well, a reed vole,
hen's afraid, he's still sobbing."
Little Mika now knows
what's going on in the chicken coop.
But he misses his country,
in front of the hens it fails.
Still waiting for news,
listens to all the stories.
You have to believe Mika that
war will end someday.
A nice hamster called Tomik
brought a letter from the cat,
who lives on the border.
"Nitupa has been lost,
rat king as the night passed.
When he felt a knife at his throat,
great coward, great coward!"
Mika says goodbye to the hens,
with hamsters and moles.
"Corn! Kukuryk!
Mention the chicken coop.
Ko-ko, ko-ko,
you always have a second home here!”
Mika returns to her homeland,
to help save her,
new cities build.
The rat king has lost the battle.
In life, as in a fairy tale,
when evil loses,
good wins.
My dear,
the long-awaited day has come, when we expect a visit from a very generous guest. I wish you beautiful gifts and invite you to read a poem about Santa Claus.
Weronika Madryas,
Wroclaw, 6/12/2022.
Santa Claus
In the midst of a starlit night
snow-covered sleigh rides
harnessed to reindeer.
Among the stars
the Benefactor rushes into the world.
Gray beard and purple
has the power of gifts,
for one night.
In the great sack he may find
something for: Basia and Kasia,
redhead Zuzia, little Ania,
Kuba, Janka, nice Frania.
It's not a car and it's not a doll
have great power,
only the love he gives
you on this cold night.
My dear,
I invite you today to read a fairy-tale poem. So let the photo also be fabulous.
Weronika Madryas
Pumpkin fairy
Between the mountain and the river
apparently quite nearby,
there was a hut at the edge of the forest,
which in shape resembled a pumpkin.
Orange and squat
it rolled halfway around the world .
She finally found a quiet corner
and said: I will not move from here!
In the Pumpkin Hut Pumpkin Fairy,
pumpkin ball, pumpkin wand.
And right behind the hut, turn left,
where the tree grows tall.
And a few more steps to the side
and everyone will sigh: What a sight!
As far as the eye can see the ribbon of flower beds,
order between them too.
Pumpkin Orange Field,
oh how wonderfully colorful!
And leaves are dancing over the pumpkins,
bellwether the wind rushes through the world!
Pumpkin fairy cares about pumpkins,
probably someone's greatest da.
Once the pumpkin became a coach,
when Cinderella came to the rescue.
A pumpkin fairy plays tricks on it
and look at every corner of the world .
And if he kisses the pumpkin,
the great fruit will enchant you.
Well, that's not all My Friend,
the pumpkin field has been seen by many.
Few know, however,
what happens next.
Five steps to the left,
six steps to the right.
Five minutes slow,
six minutes briskly.
At the end you see a small table,
on it a plate and specials .
Pumpkin Soup, Pumpkin Jam,
Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cream
And a cake, and pumpkin seeds,
pumpkin-shaped zucchini delicacy .
And suddenly the pumpkin world disappears,
and suddenly mom calls out: get up!
Go to school again,
Multiply and read, divide practice.
Only in my pocket a strange murmur,
The pumpkin fairy is laughing.
Got a handful of pumpkin seeds,
nothing but bite, nothing but take .
The Pumpkin Fairy goes to sleep.
Good morning dear,
Today, on such a special day, on the day of memories of our loved ones, those who are no longer with us, I would like to read you a poem from the collection "Poems of Weronika" entitled "Silent as falling leaves".
My dear,
in the vicinity of the Fairy-tale Green Hill there is a house called "Eden". It belonged to an old lady, a painter. Today I look with tenderness at the three pictures that I received one summer afternoon, when Ania and I went to our neighbor for an apple pie. I did not suspect then that this would be our last meeting.
I invite you to read the poem.
Weronika Madryas
Wrocław, on 09/06/2022
In memory of Lidia the painter Samborska
Eden
An old lady
she left the house near the forest
She called Eden,
to knock on the door of paradise .
Autumn roses, shrubs, abundant walnut
remember tired hands,
the same that they painted on the canvas with a brush
landscapes and wildflowers ...
The old lady left her Eden for Paradise.
Only immortal images
and the fairy-tale garden remained ...
My dear,
I invite you to read the poem and see the photos with the lavender fairies.
What's going on about purple in the lavender world?
In a lavender world
lavender fairies,
lavender brooms, lavender wands ...
Violet spells, purple words,
purple dreams in lavender heads ...
In a lavender world
purple flowers,
purple birds,
wonderful fragrances ...
A shard of this world in dried flowers,
a crumb of this world is a memory of summer ...

Mr. Year
The year is counted by four ma,
every time knows different.
When the reign begins
it rules the country in the cold.
His white advisor,
clothed in snow and frost,
as winter known in the world.
Her coming dream brings
the night lengthens and the day shortens.
The branches of the trees are huddled in the snow,
but when the mood is gloomy
the frosty wind summons
and puffy white clouds.
Frost, her humble servant,
paint the glass with a breath
and icicles sharp as steel
will hang here and there.
At the end of March, the snow is melting,
green hair trees,
the sun warms bolder and bolder.
Spring is walking in a flowing dress,
he wears a wreath in a storm of curls,
in which the birds nest
and chirping in the thicket of hair.
On lawns and squares
crocus, snowball and daisy.
Tulips and daffodils in the gardens,
in even beds.
And radish and parsley
and watercress and duckling,
behind her, a drake and ducklings,
chicks are hiding everywhere.
But it can be a capricious spring,
then storms and rain calls.
Then she mellows again
and the sun caresses the wet green.
After her, the laughing summer,
crazy, sleepy.
Brings short nights with him,
and with them singing and dancing,
kisses under the stars
and confessions under the trees,
under bridges, on benches,
in gazebos.
Summer doesn't like worries,
in his carelessness he loses his mind.
And he is reluctant to work too,
but he travels a lot.
The blue of the seas, the tops of the mountains,
desert sand, forest thicket,
he knows various paths
and wanders here and there.
And only misses autumn,
romantic, thoughtful,
large-brimmed hats,
the straw and felt ones,
freaks out.
Give umbrellas,
baskets, coats and rubber boots.
There is a pocket in the cape,
where are the colors of the palette,
hides brushes.
And his moods change
clear, dull, misty, rainy,
warm, cool, beautiful, gloomy.
Sometimes he dances with the wind,
then it wanders through the orchards,
Plums, apples in boxes.
And he tells you to look for nuts
in the mists, vapors, rain pouring.
Wading in golden, red leaves
Watches the keys of the birds,
and grows sad and grows,
even her dress darkens.
Still crying, still sighing
in addition, he coughs and sneezes,
especially before leaving.
Mr. Rok who is in power
has the nickname The Present,
when he passes by, he is called the Past
or the future, when it has not happened yet ...
My dear,
I invite you to read my poem about what saddens us most today ...

In Gardone Riviera
“In Rome at Campo di Fiori
Baskets of olives and lemons,
The pavement sprinkled with wine
And flower shards. "
Czesław Miłosz wrote,
poet and thinker.
In Gardone Riviera
sleepy ducks
the wind sways on Lake Garda.
White sails
against the cloudless sky
and olive flavor
from a nearby grove ...
In the shade of a mandarin tree
girl in a straw hat
humming a longing melody ...
It is there on the hill of Vittoriale degli Italiani
that is "the sanctuary of Italian victories",
where the one-eyed poet Gabriele D'Annuzio
hosted Benito Mussolini.
Although he called Hitler a "cruel clown",
he himself dreamed of resurrecting the Roman Empire.
Did they chat in the dining room
accompanied by a turtle monument,
put in honor of this
what ended up after the chocolate feast?
I remember Gardone Riviera
in Wrocław on a March day,
when I put the pot with primula on the balcony,
and the rays of the sun
they melt the falling snow.
And then I dive in
in the city of spring waiting.
And I look at the children in the squares,
worried faces of mothers
and a gentleman with a dachshund.
At that time, Kyiv is on fire.
On the orders of a madman
the war has started ...
In the fumes of the plague
for two years the world has been consuming
Ukraine is resisting
to the Russian invader ...
And around death, pain, tears,
fire and rubble ...
Easter is just around the corner ...
“Until everything is a legend
And then after many years
On the new Campo di Fiori
Rebellion will stir up the poet's word. "
Czesław Miłosz wrote
In Warsaw on Easter 1943.

Poplar
At a fork in the road
soaring and slender,
right next to the second one,
lasted for forty-three years ...
Just before the end
the trunk broke.
Hair torn by the wind
she fell at her feet
her twin sister.
Dry, piercing crack
wind howling
and boughs broken around.
It's a landscape after.
At a fork in the road
orphaned sob
longing for the lost ...
… And then the world drowned
in the arms of a madman.
Under fire
in a sea of blood and tears
our brothers are leaving.
We look at evil.
And my heart breaks
like a poplar trunk.
Dry, piercing crack
howling sirens
and pain around.
It is a landscape of war.
My dear,
Today is a good day for greed. It remains for me to wish you a tasty meal and I am sending you a rhyme.
Packages
Baked and fragrant,
sugar-coated, sugar-coated,
jam stuffed with ...
Little, big eat,
crunches are almost bursting ...
But the faces are smiling
and happy eyes ...
Lick your fingers with a little finger!
This is the fifth one, highwayman!
Donut disappears from the plate
and the crumb also disappears soon ...
My dear,
for long and dark autumn evenings, the best are: nice music, warm tea, the gentle glow of candles and a touch of poetry. That is why I offer you a pinch of the latter in an excerpt from my poem entitled Glass Collection. Today I would rather call this fragment Longing for summer ...
(...)
There are sweet moments
what like butterflies will fly away ...
when the wind shakes the rose cup
will depart ...
I implore them by whispering:
I have a collection of glass balls
and in them sadness, joy, pain ...
I charm with words ...
(...)
My dear,
Today is a special day that makes people aware of the inevitability of passing away.
I once wrote a poem Silent like falling leaves ...
And although they left, I trust that their love remains in us ...
My dear,
After reading about the history of ten socks, we felt very sock-like, because Ania sewed, told stories and created a comic book during lessons at school. Therefore, I am sharing with you my own literary inspiration, i.e. my poem and a photo with Ania's work.

Yellow socks
Gray-and-white little kitten,
known as Milka,
she drank milk very willingly
from the very morning.
She was playing with a ball of wool,
it rolled it, it chased it.
Until she was very wrong
and caused trouble.
Mother taught Ania
take care of your socks
and carefully after washing
Roll into soft balls.
Ania had such balls
I think eleven.
Each ball has a different pair
in polka dots, checkered, striped.
Ania balls for the drawer
she carefully folded it.
Only one yellow ball
she got lost somewhere.
Mom is looking, Ania is looking.
Find me lost - great art!
Milka is napping on the couch
and pretends not to know anything.
She discovered something in the corner
with which she had a little fun.
It just happened
to the mouse mink,
where is the mouse family
she was crunching cheese faworki.
- Look, Dad! We have a visitor!
The youngest mouse called.
And the socks stayed there
they took up residence in the mouse hole.
And they slept soundly in their socks
the two youngest white mice.
Sometimes fate plays tricks,
will change something, confuse something.
Have a sleeping bag from a sock?
This is not a joke. It's a mouse lucky.

Autumn
I saw her at dusk yesterday
like leaning against the balustrade of a stone bridge,
she looked into the distance ...
... thoughtful, dreamy, fabulously beautiful.
I saw her yesterday at dusk
for the first time since last year.
I've heard a lot of rumors about it.
What some people whisper
that he has several lovers ...
... carefully calculates the time for them
for long-awaited meetings,
common nights and dawns
…apparently
So tell you
what do they know about others
much less
… Sure
I admired her fiery hair
and a garment of fine cobwebs,
dark chocolate color,
embroidery of red leaves decorated with ...
An excellent tailor, an unusual spider
he made the last corrections hastily ...
... before meeting so important.
When the hand raised
and she whispered magic words,
they came
in the order determined by it.
Lovers of her nice, longing ...
First, the Lord of the Morning Mists hugged him
her slender and slender figure,
a transparent shawl of breath,
with dew diamonds weaved here and there ...
Then the Wind, a capricious, gusty lover,
with a gentle blast
her long, silky hair was carried away by dancing ...
Finally, it was raining in thin trickles
he moistened her pale cheeks,
gilded with freckles of the sun.
He kissed the charming figure,
he rolled the clever drops under his dress,
where its beginning and end,
white breasts and bare feet ...
And she is devoted to caresses,
she painted the leaves,
as they grew bolder ...
... her faithful lovers,
in love forever
My dear,
Autumn is the time of trees, colorful hairs torn by the wind and falling leaves. Therefore, I invite you to read my poem entitled "Tree".
Weronika Madryas
Wrocław, 23 November 2008.
Tree
If you were a tree, my dear ...
What? - you ask,
intrigued and amused
my concept.
A soaring poplar? Weeping willow?
Or maybe a baobab? - you guess
smiling at me.
You would be an oak
- I answer seriously.
Strong trunk
a thick layer
pitted cortex
covered.
And the life-giving root,
reaching deep.
Your branches -
I close my eyes
indulging in dreams,
imaginations and daydreams-
branchy and strong,
bathed in green leaves,
would form a lush crown,
a ruler of a mighty worthy ...
-I would be the king of oaks? -
you say
still not serious.
-Maybe -
I nod with conviction
offended by your lack of weight ...
-And who would you be? -
you drill down on the topic,
curious about my answer.
-Red squirrel,
who has a shiny, fiery coat,
provocative and soft at the same time ..
Handy paws,
lithe body
promises full of ...
Black eyes,
cloudy look,
dreamy ...
Squirrel?-
you are amazed.
Yes -
I put my hand down
on your
with a soothing gesture.
I would live in you
Dear My ...
In your trunk
my hollow.
A quiet haven
protecting against confusion.
In the branches
my garden.
Paths labyrinth
only known to us.
In you
my world
and my refuge ...
Understand?
-I'm asking seriously.
Of your face
I do not see
through the morning mist.
I do not hear the answer
by the melody
played with rain.
Do you understand,
I'm not sure...

Mushrooms
Mushrooms wear hats
small, large,
winding, bent.
They grow in moss,
among the ferns,
in the shade, warmth and humidity.
Mushroom picking - an interesting thing
but unfortunately you have to get up
in the morning or at dawn,
for life flourishes in the forest.
When you already have Dear Smyk
plenty of mushrooms in his basket,
look at the hats,
dismiss all suspects,
never seen before.
Among boletes and boletes,
you can hit the only one
treacherous, poisonous ...
He is also well known to everyone,
purple, spotted
toadstool called ...
This elegant gentleman
he once swore to himself secretly
destroy life with one bite.
The rest can be marinated,
season the sauce and boil it.
And thread them on the strings,
to smell, dry,
they delighted with their forest flavor.

Rose
If the woman were a rose,
it would grow in a forest clearing,
in the green of lush grasses,
a multitude of wild flowers,
among mighty trees
somewhat remote.
It would coquette tall oaks, silver beeches ...
... lonely, seemingly defenseless ...
Its chalice is its beauty
would surpass the others
and with sweet spell he tempted
thicket of trees,
around those who are humming, torn by the wind.
If the woman were a rose,
would smell more intense
than the flowers used to do.
And the petals would spread wider,
to show their beauty to the world
fully.
And she would hide her spines
under an umbrella of green leaves.
The dawn would brighten with dew,
shimmering, shining,
seducing unintentionally quite ...
Seemingly fragile and weak,
among the trees moved with delight,
strong as a bird of prey
to be in fact ...
... a woman - a rose.
If the rose were a woman,
it would have grown under a branch oak.
In his shadow she would seek a respite,
on hot days and storms
windy, rainy, dark.
It would bend its stalk towards the sun,
and she opened the flower timidly.
And the spikes she would probably give to the defenseless
or lost by accident.
She flicked the dew drops accidentally,
to moisten the root with them,
water the tree ...
... with gratitude, devotion, caring.
With the love of her only oak tree safe,
trusting and devoted,
defenseless like a beautiful flower,
in need of care ...
… Rose –woman.

January mimosa
Late at night
when you slept
the thing happened unheard of ...
… The world made you a snowman!
It fell asleep
and it got fabulous
finally…
Tree branches
wrapped in snow white,
silver frost,
they tremble in the wind ...
Well, yesterday morning
I received a letter from Sicily,
in which much has been written
and sunny.
There they supposedly turned golden
mimosa a bit prematurely.
I missed these leaves
dancing in the warm wind ...
... and the scent of honey,
and a wonderful view
and hot air ...
... although here it is winter and fabulous
My dear,
I am sad because today I am saying goodbye to Mr. Mieczysław's poem, the publisher of many of my fairy tales and several volumes of poetry.
And I only know that Krakow has irretrievably lost someone extraordinary and spiritual ...

Death in a time of plague
I dedicate the poem to Mrs. Marta Iskierka
and Mr. Mieczysław Mączka
Death in a time of plague
rampant and ubiquitous
took Mr. Mieczysław.
He left alone
in silence
without tender glances
and a handshake clasped ...
Mr. Mieczysław
he was part of the Krakow of poets.
Read in poems,
blended into poetry
to the end of his days ...
Mr. Mieczysław
he made books to measure,
patiently and persistently
like a weaver spider
spinning its thread.
Mr. Mieczysław
he left his city
winter time.
Orphaned Miniature,
Association of the Graybeard Poets,
written and unwritten poems
and my fairy tales not yet published ...
Death in a time of plague
hurt poetry painfully ...
I invite you to a poetic conversation with the Nobel Prize winner.
The newest volume of poetry "About tenderness".
My dear,
I invite you to listen to my Lullaby of the Silver Moon in a beautiful performance by Jerzy Filar. By the way, I recommend the album Dwie dusze, which is an excellent Christmas gift for lovers of Jacek Cygan's texts.

Gardener
I know gardens
cared for with weary hands
gardeners in straw hats ...
…One of them,
in trousers with braces
and a checkered shirt
with sleeves rolled up to the elbows,
entered my heart
which once flourished for you, Beloved
... before you unleashed a storm,
what havoc has done
Little gardener,
in trousers with braces
and a checkered shirt
with sleeves rolled up to the elbows,
robbed last year's feeling
like autumn leaves
and swept away all the nooks and crannies,
lest the winds blow away
sentiments and unwanted memories ...
My heart is like a garden
until recently, tears were watered by rain,
today with sorrows poured out,
ready for new sowing ...

Heart-shaped leaf
Look.
Stained with rust and gold,
with a bit jagged edges
heart-shaped leaf ...
... glides across the silvery surface of the puddle
You see
It drowns in the pouring rain.
I bend over
heart-shaped leaf.
My face trembles
in the water mirror.
Wet cheeks and tearful eyes,
salty and warm tears,
and the rain drops sweet and cool.
Heart-shaped leaf
aged prematurely,
too short by the wind ...
It's still summer, although the nights are cold
and my hands are cold.
In the morning and at dusk
blue mists roll over the squares
and dance in the fields outside the city ...
Autumn is just around the corner
but it's not time yet
leaves fall ...
… It's not time to die yet
Have a look.
Heart-shaped leaf
yellowed prematurely,
it sank into a puddle,
lonely like me ...
I absorb his misery
lonely as a heart-shaped leaf ...
And my forehead is wrinkled with anxiety
early…
You can see it, Nice, right?

Geography teacher
Geography teacher
could teach
joke and wander
in the mountains and valleys,
over the stars and planets,
on maps and atlases,
across the globe of distant lands….
Geography teacher
did not punish
did not judge
without a deeper look
and necessary reflection.
He explained and discussed,
for a conversation
he greatly appreciated.
Geography teacher
he was an educator
and a gentleman at the same time.
Gallant, well-read,
funny, outspoken ...
Until suddenly in the autumn rain leaves,
in a misty and rainy November,
when the world is devoured by a plague,
finally passed away ...
Remained after Him
warm memories
and a geography notebook
yet…

George the hedgehog and the secret of hedgehogs
Under a warm tuft of leaves
a hedgehog will dream a fairy tale ...
... of which he will be the protagonist and experience a strange story.
That's what!
The autumn leaves gilded,
days shortened, the world grew together
cool rain.
Hedgehog Jerzy absent-minded,
a bit sleepy and weary
