Poems of the winners:

1.When sadness lives in the soul...

When sadness lives in my soul,
I'll pour some hot tea with a lemon circle,
And I’ll look forward to meeting you
I'm with St. Petersburg, a good old friend.

He joyfully calls me to him,
Beckons with the expanses of beautiful squares,
Palaces of exquisite and lace railings
And the unusualness of your gray nights.

Oh, Petersburg, your embrace
Reveal it to me, oh friend, and help me
Dispel the melancholy over your Neva,
I love your glorious appearance.

I love walking in green parks,
Watch the bridges blossom
Walk in the depths of the galleries and sacredly believe,
That all your dreams will come true.

Oh, Petersburg, through the fog of centuries,
Alluring and delighting, captivating and loving,
The clattering hooves of Peter's horse,
You take away all my sorrows...

2.White nights

Do you remember the white nights?

They were very festive...

Do you remember how suddenly at night

Have I seen white Petersburg?

And a sigh of love, unexpected meetings,

And the shine of open ladies' shoulders.

And someone's spicy lips

At the raised bridge.

And kisses in someone's gaze

On the cruiser "Aurora"…

And gliding like a white cloud,

What, alas, cannot be returned

Everything rises up in an anxious soul,

Which is very difficult for me to forget.

Elizaveta Damberg, Tver region - Elizaveta D., "Center for Cadet Education", Tver region.

3.The northernmost city.

The northernmost city in the world

Located in the Gulf of Finland,

He ascended above the Neva.

He is huge, powerful,

Located in Russia

He is the pride of our country.

It was built by Peter in those distant years.

In those distant, difficult, difficult years.

May one thousand seven hundred and three.

Peter loved and respected that capital,

And he bequeathed to us to protect it to this day.

We take care of its granite walls,

We take care of dear Leningrad.

4.I'm staying

Ah, dear city, Petersburg,

I met you by chance.

I saw you with my eyes -

Why they dreamed about you so much.

There is such beauty all around.....

My soul trembled

My city, dear city

I'm staying...

Happy white nights

Met on the Neva River.

How much creativity and thought?

At that moment they were born in me

Yes, you are beautiful, city of St. Petersburg

There is only one like this in the whole world.

I wish you to fall in love for the hundredth time

5. Cherished dream

Bridges are moving apart.
Here today you and I.
Ships under bridges
This edge of the earth beckons.

The sail is turning red again!
What would you like?
The night is beautiful over the Neva -
Became the best dream!

My soul will be carried away into the distance.
I don't feel sorry for anything anymore.
I see the silhouette of bridges.
I'm ready to be happy!

6. MY CITY ON THE NEVA
I remember the city on the Neva,
I fell into it by accident
But due to his young age
I didn't expect anything...
Oh God, how wrong I was...!
I remember the park and the wonderful garden,
They were named after Alexander,
And having matured just a year,
Now I remember them in my dreams...

I remember a small bridge
And a scarlet watch made of grass,
And all the steel architects,
Twelve of them, like a chime.

I also remember the Hermitage,
It's like a palace: big, beautiful,
And tears fall from my eyes,
From the beauty of heavenly power!
And I don’t want to be sad yet,
Memories came flooding back...
I want to say THANK YOU,
For all the inexplicable dreams...

Irina Popova, Arkhangelsk region - GBOU JSC "Rembuevsky" orphanage", 14 years old

7. Mythology of St. Petersburg

Petersburg, Leningrad, Peter,
So many names - the essence is one,
Who would wipe away Neva's tears,
He received it in full from God.

Don't cry, Petrogradushka,
Don't cry anymore
If the old grandmother
Some people don't like it.
We will take her to Savushka,
He was already tired of waiting for her.

Well, if you don’t manage,
You and I, Savushka,
There is a way out - let's call Peter,
He won’t refuse you and me, after all,
If so, then we will not die.

And here comes grandma again,
Walks calmly along Nevsky,
Savushka crawls next to her,
Peter walks a little further away.

You, reader, are trying to understand,
What kind of grandmother, Savushka, Peter,
If I tell you, won't you be offended?
I hope it doesn't get through.

Peter is the founder, of course,
Emperor of All Rus',
If you have good wishes,
Then ask him about it.

Grandmother is the image of a resident of St. Petersburg,
For some reason it seems like this
Lame, besieged, in a sweater,
Hungry - she walks somehow.

Well, Savushka, who is next to her grandmother,
Wise and ugly serpent,
The quintessence of all those fallen,
That Peter was built from the first stones.

This trio is walking through the city,
Looks here and there
Everyone knows about these three from a young age,
They are never forgotten.

Baybikov Rustam, 14 years old. GBU SO SRC "RETURN" Saratov.

8. Ah, St. Petersburg!

Ah, Petersburg! I can't help but admire you!
You are a fairy tale city! You are a masterpiece! Dream!
You will be, was and are the cultural capital,
After all, Peter’s plan can be seen through the centuries!

And who would know how I dream too,
I also dream of visiting St. Petersburg,
Let it be for a short time, but - become a passerby in it
And walk hand in hand with history.

Along the fabulous alleys of Peterhof
I could probably wander around for hours.
I want to visit the Yusupovs’ palace,
To honor the memory of Pushkin at the Black River.

I'm on Palace Square Atlanteans
Want quickly desire make a wish
Experience art in the Hermitage
And in the “Grand Maket” you can see the power of Russia.

And on a white night I would like to take a walk
Along the banks of the beautiful Neva,
And admire the draw of the bridges,
And see: do lions sleep at night?

And if my dream comes true,
Then I will be the happiest!
And I’ll give my note to Ksenia:
“Saint preserve those whom I love!”

Poem by a student of the State Educational Institution of Regional Educational Institutions of the Shakhty Children's Assistance Center No. 3 (Shakhty, Rostov Region) Kudrya Anastasia, 15 years old

I've never been to the Neva,
I haven't seen a sunset in the water.
I didn’t watch Zenit play
When - "Goal!" ringing through the stands.
I want to be among the spectators
To see: like hitting a ball
Mikhail Kerzhakov hits.
...I will. Just give it time.
I will see the sunset on the Neva,
And I myself am in my favorite game.
I'll go out onto the field with the ball -
I don't care about rain and hail!

Igor Kozlov, Cherepovets - 12 years old, student of the Constellation Children's Assistance Center, Cherepovets, Vologda Region.

10.A city called the sun

Like Yesenin, I was a hooligan in childhood
Gathered with friends in the yard
And then one day I wrote a song
About that beautiful city on the Neva.

About Leningrad, about St. Petersburg, whatever you want
I often dreamed about that city in my sleep
And there are friendly birds under the window
It was as if they were singing along with me.

How many talented people are there?
Beautiful faces on beautiful streets
He stands firmly on his ground
In the country of the beautiful Mother Russia.

And here a poet was once born
Songs sounded from every window
St. Petersburg flourished
When he sang so simply:
"A star called the sun."

And with this song the city woke up
And he got up with her, and the soldiers went into battle
How cool it is to be born in St. Petersburg
Rock and roll legend Viktor Tsoi.

I wasn't there
But everything seems familiar
And I only know from pictures
St. Petersburg oh how I wish
Get to your beautiful lands.

See the shine of your beautiful streets
Walk along them and fall asleep on the Neva
Then, waking up, smile at people
To cling to those living here in the St. Petersburg way

I would be happy if I had to
See those vaunted nights here
Those white those joyful days
You won’t find it anywhere, even in hot Sochi

Dreams they come true one day
But you just have to really want it
And maybe for me, an ordinary guy
Will you be able to visit St. Petersburg first?

Spiridonov Ilya, Saratov - 13 years old, Saratov (GBU SRC "Return")

11.The city on the Neva is beautiful -
I dream about him in my sleep!
A dream has come true - I'm going to St. Petersburg,
Such happiness suddenly befell me!

The city is amazingly beautiful:
The horseman shines over the river,
I walk through the palaces during the day,
Bridges are raised at night.

The river banks are dressed in granite,
It attracts with its grandiose architecture.
I admire the temples in delight -
I will definitely come back here!

The days have flown by - it's time to go home,
But I will imprint your image in my memory,
The majestic city of Peter!
So, my dream has come true!

Brun Galina, Saratov - 12 years old, Saratov BU SO SRC “Return”; Head: teacher, Chernova D.S.

12.My beloved sister...

How long have we not seen you?

A cruel fate has torn us apart

Like bridges being built over the Neva at night.

You are in St. Petersburg. I believe you are waiting for me

That I will arrive on white nights.

When sunset is canceled by nature,

On Troitsky, floor lamps are not turned on.

And the Summer Garden there rustles like fairy tales,

Repeating the melodies of the fountains.

Arrow Vasilyevsky Island flies

Dividing the Neva into Malaya and Bolshaya.

At the age of seven we will be able to understand

That all bridges lead people to each other,

What not to call this city?

In essence - Paradise, bliss of the spirit.

We'll go around all the churches and cathedrals...

I have this dream more and more often.

Morning will come. The angel will sound the trumpet

And the bridge of my destiny will connect.

Svishchik Sergey, 14 years old, Saratov, GBU SO SRC “Return” Head: teacher Samoletova T.P.

13. "White Nights"

White nights are coming
They inspire all people!
And I immediately want to run there,
Where you can: scream, laugh, jump, get upset
And fall in love painlessly!
And the nights help me understand
Everything in life is simply impossible to grasp!
And how many beautiful places there are!
Just take the trolleybus
And go wherever you want!

Kreshchensky Island - for extreme sports
Well, just don't pass by
Are you going to test yourself?
Attractions to visit.
It's so breathtaking there
You won't believe it unless you see it yourself!
I love wandering through parks
I always look at everything with love.

And Peterhof - oh, my God!
He is all wonderful, golden.
And the story is hidden in it,
The door is open at any time
Walking along the paths, I’m glad
And you don’t need anything else in life!
I love my city on the Neva,
May you like it!

Kotovskaya Ulyana, 15 years old, Murmansk region - GOAUSON "Monchegorsk comprehensive center for social services for the population", Murmansk region

On the banks of the Neva
Peter built the city,
With its beauty
He conquered the whole world!

Canals and bridges,
Avenues, parks, squares,
You won't find it anywhere
Such beauty!

They lived and worked in it
Great poets
People built here
And temples and palaces!

Survived the blockade
We endured hunger and cold
And they defended the city
In those terrible days!

Grows and gets better
Everyone's favorite city
He told his story
Remembers and keeps!

15. Oh, St. Petersburg, white-white city
Author - Pomeshkin Danil, 14 years old.
GKUSO RO Shakhty Children's Assistance Center No. 3
Eh, St. Petersburg, white-white city,
Draw up your bridges
So that along the Neva, where the roads are at the top during the day,
The ships sailed somewhere.

Oh, Peter, your nights are your nights,
I will never forget them,
When the lantern is burning and the eyes
They don't see the light in the night.

And even though the weather there is not very good,
Damp, cold Petersburg,
You are a dream in everyone's heart,
Make an appointment with me forever

16. “I was inspired by those white nights,
That air..." the poet sighs.
And writes the same line after line
And looks out the window at the dawn.
And the city where he writes will remain in the heart,
The notepad will not forget him...
“I was captivated by those people and faces
The dog and that gray cat...
That's where we stood, under that very roof,
Sheltered from the wind, rain and insults.
We laughed loudly, but it was not heard,
But you could hear your heart beating.
Knocking ever harder from love for Petrograd,
To history, to people, to land..."
And here I am standing on the bridge,
From your fingertips to the top of your head
I give myself all to you, my city.

Romanova Lolita, Almetyevsk.
