À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

It was dark and dreary,

There was a sound, it was eerie.

I shivered; it was cold,

But I stepped forward,

brave and bold.

The Monster

In the tomb I crept,

Where the monster slept.

It was dark and dense,

Then I saw a fence.

I thought I heard a snore,

Then I heard a roar.

The Cave

The cave was pitch-black.

The cave had a crack.

The cave had a pool.

The cave was not cool.
