Fraîche comme une rose Sage comme une image Votre cœur en forme de cœur C'est bien rare ! Franc comme l'or Rosa la rose Toutes les roses perdent leurs joues sur le tapis, combien de masques ? Je suis pâle comme la mort.

Crépite la nue et détonne. Les mamelles du gros orage sont des lilas. Tir de barrage de canons embaumant l’ozone. Prends garde, ouvrière, la foudre aime les machines à coudre.

La pelisse est en brousse verte Quelle chute d’eau négligente C’est mieux que la découverte Des ruines d’Agrigente Le troupeau gémit en patois J’aime beaucoup la montagne Mais ton visage m’accompagne Je n’ai jamais rien vu de plus joli que toi.

Cacatoès Boissons Le Pole Sud On y va, c’était fatal. Pose ta main sur mon épaule, Souvenir du pays natal.

Montagnes au-dessous du niveau de la mer. Un cheval mange sur le toit. Pente raide; la vache à l’aise comme une mouche, caressons-la. Tiens! elle est à deux kilomètres. Derrière le sommet, (la terre est ronde) Elle se cache. Et toi, si loin, Si près de moi.
