Youth and Adult Education (EJA) is once again a federal priority
Teacher performance is a key factor for the full inclusion of students…
On that same day, the UN released a document called the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Water. The ten articles in which it is divided also aim to raise awareness about how essential it is to manage water resources in a balanced and conscious way.
Each year, the UN establishes a theme for World Water Day, and among those that have already been worked on are: “Caring of our water resources is up to each one”, “Waters of the World: is there enough?” and “Clean water for a world healthy".
As a means of raising children's awareness from the earliest years of education, many schools already have weeks dedicated entirely to water. During these days, teachers and the entire pedagogical team work on different approaches, including texts and poems with this theme.
In addition to provoking debates on the subject, poems about water can fit into different disciplines, which is an advantage, since many schools, on these occasions, seek to promote activities interdisciplinary.
The water – Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage
My lords I am the water
who washes the face, who washes the eyes
that washes the mouse and the undercuts
who washes turnips and watercress
that washes the cock and the balls
who washes the ladies and what is vacant
because it washes the tits and where I shit.
My lords here is the water
that waters the parsley and the radish
who washes the tongue of someone who does minete
that washes the chibo even from the shave
remove the smell of cod fish
what does the man drink, what does the dog drink
who washes the pussy and the cockle.
My lords here is the water
that washes the eyes and the grills
that washes the pussy and the cloths
that washes the blood of the great fights
that washes serious and washes whores
turn off the fire and the burner
and that washes the fucking gills
My lords here is the water
that waters roses and basil
who washes the bidet, who washes chamber pots
remove bad smell from pockets
gives drink to the coolies
washes the trunk of any puppet and
washes the mouth after a blowjob.
The rivers – João Cabral de Melo Neto
The rivers that I find
will follow with me.
Rivers are of little water,
where water is always hanging by a thread.
cut in the summer
who makes all the rivers dry up.
rivers all with name
and that I embrace like friends.
Some with people's names,
others with the name of an animal,
some with the name of a saint,
many only with a nickname.
But everyone like us
What I've seen around here:
the people whose life
breaks off when the rivers.
Our Wisdom – Carlos Nejar
Our wisdom is that of rivers.
We don't have another.
Persist. Go with the rivers,
wave by wave.
The fish will cross our empty faces.
Intact we will pass under the current
made by us and our despair.
We'll pass clean.
And we will move
river within the river,
body within the body,
like old sailboats.
Lesson on water – António Gedeão
This liquid is water.

They are called steam engines.
It's a good solvent.
With exceptions, but in general,
dissolves everything well, acids, bases and salts.
Freezes to zero centigrade degrees
and boils at 100 when at normal pressure.
It was in this liquid that on a warm summer night,
under a gummy, white camellia moonlight,
Ophelia's corpse appeared floating
with a water lily in her hand.

I dream of a Brazil with clean water

They slaughtered the river – Manuel Bandeira
I arrested the river
mistreat the river
slay the river
water does not die
The water that is made
of helpless drops
that one day they will be
Bigger than the river
Big as the ocean
Strong as ice
the polar ice
That everything blows up.
Turmoil – Cecilia Meireles
Storm… The Disarray
of the branches… The vain cries
of the sad water, of the long wind,
come and die in my heart.
Sad water falls like a dream,
old dream that forgot...
(When will you come, my sad one
Poet, my sweet thunderer!…)
And my soul, without light or tent,
goes wandering, in the bad night,`
looking for someone who understands me
and who will comfort me...
Sweet water, sweet water – Evelyn Heine
The land is made of sea,
We are made of water.
Down with waste!
Saving water: urgent thing!
Clear, sweet or iced,
green, blue or transparent,
Without water there is nothing.
Neither forest nor seed.
Fresh water quenches thirst,
Fresh water is what washes.
Waterfall, river or fountain…
It just can't be salty.
So much hits until it pierces,
Popular saying goes...
Take care of her! You swear?
Let's save!
On the high seas – Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
on the high seas
the light trickles
Smooth over water.
endless plain
That no one lives.
The sun shines huge
without anyone forming
Gestures in your light.
Free and green the water ripples
Grace that does not modulate
Nobody's dream.
The spaces are clear and vast
where the wind sways
And no one ever delights or torments
Open your arms to them.
Rio – Gilberto Mendes Teles
What pleases me in the river,
what suits me best
in your heat waters
and of sadness too
is whose song
travel for pleasure,
without knowing that the sea beyond
be distant or empty.
The river does not lose its thread
of time that comes and goes
between the source and the cilice
from the mouth that always contains
what you want as a good
that, though late,
is fish shadow and has
your best time on the river.
Gole of water – Mario Quintana
A poem like a sip of water drunk in the dark.
Like a poor, wounded animal throbbing.
Like a tiny silver coin forever lost in the
[night forest.
A poem with no other anguish than its mysterious condition
[from poem.
Sad.
Lonely.
Single.
Wounded with deadly beauty.
