Poetic Uniforms

Poetic Uniforms

By Gimnasio Fontana

"Words make gateways to infinite and wonderful worlds."
The podcast is the result of a 7th-grade poetry project made by students from Gimnasio Fontana in Bogotá, Colombia. The students have been studying and applying figurative language, symbolism, uniform features, and poetry structures throughout the bimester. For the project, students analyzed the symbolic meanings for the uniform of their choice: "service", "authoritarian", or "sport". Then, they had to write a poem about this uniform.

We have recorded the final results and published them here. We hope you enjoy the podcast!

A Soccer´s T-Shirt

A Soccer´s T-Shirt

Real Madrid is the best team ever I will say for sure,

although several soccer teams have existed all over the world,

not a single soccer sentiment

feels like the one you get when you push your team so they feel treasured.


Either you can call it just clothing or whatever you want,

but a team’s uniform goes way beyond that,

it is your t-shirt connecting to your deep heart,

and dancing with your emotions at the time you’re signing the anthem-like art.


A t-shirt can be Either white as a plain paper sheet,

Or blue as a shining sky,

Each team is represented by a different color tone,

I am so related, that my blood color will be the same until I am gone.


Like some people say about their beloved team

they will die or do anything for it,

I rather seat tranquil

Just to enjoy a good match while just focusing on it.


Memorizing what someone ever said

“In variety is pleasure”, and I could not agree more,

We can have a bunch of soccer team, colors, and feelings,

and appreciate and learn from them all,

not judging anyone and respecting each other more.

US Military Uniform

US Military Uniform

Unique suit used by a hero

Symbol of courage as the great eagle and fear zero

More stars than in the sky

Infinite courage, he must-have during the fight, no matter why

Lose or win, a whole country will give you support

Immense love they will show when you arrive at the port

To everyone who dresses with pride his uniform

A great nation will honor you, even in the major storm

Red, white and blue, the colors of the flag over the shoulder

You have to defend the name of millions because you are a soldier

Under the sea, in the land, or above the clouds

Nothing will stop a warrior, not even millions of crowds

Imagine a peaceful world built over the tears of believers

Fights will be no more and of course no deceivers

One uniform means effort, proud and passion

Remember to respect your nation

Mothers and fathers have raised their children, many to use the US military uniform, to be honored and remembered as great heroes.

Queen´s Guard

Queen´s Guard

Queen, I swear to protect you like a pirate protects his treasure (metaphor)

Using my red uniform neither a rose petal will touch you without passing through me (hyperbole, idiom)

Early in a cold winter morning, I would be the strongest wall to protect my wise monarch (personification, imagery)

Easy? No, it’s hard as hell but my loyalty is stronger enough to betray my kingdom (metaphor, antithesis)

No job brings me as much honor as representing your honorable crown. (symbolism, simile)

Solitary and freezing darkness of the night won’t be a problem thanks to my boiling jacket (imagery, hyperbole)

Guard and serve you leave my spirit with a feeling of peace (proverb)

Unique is seeing your gems with a red wine color and brightness stronger than the sunlight (metaphor, hyperbole)

A kid dream that was impossible became possible; my fantasy is now my daily routine (oxymoron)

Raising your empires flag makes me happy like when I’m with my family (assonance, simile)

During work turns seeing the palace indestructible walls leaves me a feeling of strength (hyperbole, imagery)

Not all is what it seems

Not all is what it seems

Some times it is not just about what’s outside

Some times we just say things without thinking twice

Some times we think we are judges

Some times we have so many stereotypes


The fabric is extremely soft

The shape especially made

They can do all their turns and moves

They can make the players feel ready to begin


That blue and yellow shining

The colors look just like the sky, in a sunny day without clouds

The boys in the back smiling

They all are a fun group of kids


But their smile is just like a mask

That covers the pain they have deep in their hearts

And no one gets to ask

What’s happening when the game starts


The game seems to last just one second

But the tension while playing and seeing the game seem to last forever

They all want to win and have the best weekend

Maybe the best ever for them and the school they are leading

Untitled Poem 3

Untitled Poem 3

The team that gave it their all, in their red uniform, knowing what he was doing, almost at the end of the league 

Led by his coach who in his young years also hit the ball

Sweating that shirt for which they fought so much, that would give them the guaranteed victory

Many people shouting with those colors, it would give them the satisfaction of their coach who had placed orders

Sports and Uniforms

Sports and Uniforms

Such as a perfect juicy apple tree. (Imagery)

Perfect organization of colors, it is awfully beautiful. (Oxymoron)

Ordinary use and all the world disagree. (Hyperbole)

Red just as a cherry and as Elmo the Joyful (Simile)

Time is gold in the field (Metaphor)

It is a pretty Shirt, pretty uniform, pretty colors, and pretty differences. (Anaphora)

Very passionate fans screaming hooray like the Soviet troops on the battlefield (Onomatopoeia)

Earth can agree that this shirt is very cool I can give it a kiss (Alliteration)

Firefighters

Firefighters

He was my hero  

He taught me things to keep me safe

From danger, never making me feel unsafe

He showed me to do my best

And I can´t stop being blessed

The first day when I used that fluffy uniform

my soul grew happy

Not many remind us, not many care 

Every time our duty calls,

we could even go to rescue bears

I put my life at risk

But at the end of the day

I remember that we pledged 

For freedom and justice for all

We are known as the ones who rescue cats

Who wear big red hats

My Maltese cross is a reminder that I lay down my life for your safety

In honor of those who sacrificed themselves for us 

The sound of the siren alerts all my anatomy,

Wee-woo, woe-woo 

The sensation of my nerves rising every bone in my spine 

Through the smoke the bright stripe

They guide me towards the light.  

The deadly fire behind me,

Waiting for us to play 

I do not have the need of fear

The heat trying to invade my shield

to get inside my skin

really trying to break-in

It makes me feel warm

As hugs from a mother on a cold night.  

So when I extend my gentle hand

Take it, and I will take you to your homeland.

Soccer

Soccer

It’s Sunday afternoon.

The sun is on the horizon.

People on the streets with flags and t-shirts.

The stadium is empty but, soon, thousands of voices will sing as one voice.

The court is so green and so beautiful like a farm in spring.

the court excitedly waiting to hear that goool!

Defeat doesn't go through our minds,

we live for football and victory.

Our players are never alone.

We, the fans will always accompany them.

Years go by, but this feeling will remain.

This feeling is priceless and our team knows it.

We always want to win and become champions too.

Soccer is what makes us live

Soccer is what makes us give

Soccer is the start of it all

Soccer is way better than the mall

all dying of excitement to win

even those who we did not think would arrive.

Ode to Cops

Ode to Cops

We watched as you killed Dilan Cruz

We watched as you killed Javier Ordóñez

We watched as you killed 16 civilians in Bogotá.

Sure, you claim there are just a few bad apples,

But A SINGLE ONE could spoil the whole bunch.

We watched as you pushed the people to agree with you.

We watch your black uniforms of death.

As soon as we see you we are afraid.

We watch you and your forces of darkness repress.

We heard the banging bullets all around Colombia.

We know that you are not here to protect and serve,

But to add a little touch of repression.

Isn’t it ironic how you claim to protect and serve,

even though the only thing you protect is wealth and the state?

You are as greedy as snakes.

You turn the lifely color green into a deadly mix of oppression and censorship.

You turn a fight for justice into blood and tears.

You are pawns of the state, you are not who you think you are.

Why the protective gear, if you are the ones who shoot first?

You turn debates into wars.

You turn protests into bloodbaths.

You flip your jacket.

You cover your badge.

You become the slave of your uniform and your beloved institution.

Doesn’t matter if you witness a crime

if you don’t witness the rot inside of your institution.

Thanks to you,

Fighting for justice in Colombia is a death sentence.

Wanting real peace is a death sentence.

We watch, we heard, we now know

The lies you’ve told everyone.

We know about the countless innocents you killed.

There is a big question.

It isn't “What can we do about it?”

It is “What CAN’T we do about it”

“From a slave patrol, to a police force”

Untitled Poem

Untitled Poem

My helmet blinds my thoughts and makes me obey the orders that put my integrity at risk,

Green and rough is my Helmet and it’s as heavy as the conscience I deal with, between

My chest my military plate is so people identify me, I’ve seen unseen, seen

What will traumatize me for thousands and thousands of years, non-stop machines

Roll In the fields, my shirt has the flag of my country and with honor I wear it,

The shirt represents my loyalty to the country, and the protection that it transmits.

my gun as cold as the weather, loaded and heavy, all I can think is about the gun

with the hunger of killing, it protects mi foot and are large and are made of leather, stunned and amazed I am for the things I’ve seen, my future generations will be safe and love their country y grew with, and not live in a country in war, corruption, and blood.

The Devil Faced Warriors

The Devil Faced Warriors

A strong slashing sword hits in the fight, as the wind passes by. Attacking red as blood, black as death, while the enemy takes his last breath. Enemy’s attacks, strong as steel, while the leather armor doesn’t even feel. Warriors of honor and victory, their training life has a lot of history. People of passive words, but aggressive in war, but their feelings are grey as fog.

Person of light-dark leather, and weakening strong metal, they would murder, only for honor. Humans of martial arts, stealthy as a cat, would do anything, for the country of the rising red round sun. Protected by their “Kabuto” and “Do”, and because of this, in battle, they win without a wound. And if they lose, they have no choice, instead of committing “seppuku”.

Armors of vast small leather scale garment. With spiky shape, and flawless fabric, the “tetsu” is too strong, that’s why the fighter is harmless. The armor has too much history, part still a mystery, and that makes it more interesting. A very threatening appearance, but curious too, he could slash you, in the blink of my eye.

Never away, even if you are not okay

Never away, even if you are not okay

White as snow

So clean that it glows

Never leave your patient alone, even when they’re gone

This uniform shows what the nurses carry on


Day by day, never getaway

There when you survive also when you die

Each symbol, depending on the place,

but it represents what we fight every day


Every day, someone dies

Every day, someone survives

Every day is a new day which means they all need to fight until the end

No matter what, no matter how the nurses are your friend


So comfortable such as heaven

This uniform is the one that cures Evan

Who is Evan? Even the one that survives each treatment

This patient is the one, the one that wants to live, the one that survives


don’t be a stick in the mud, he said

In the past, because he is puff* dead

The one died, the one that survives had a happy life

In all this the nurses uniform was part of it, and we are thankful for each arrive

Untitled Poem 2

Untitled Poem 2

Our uniforms are blue like the sky, and our ties are black like the night

And the badges I take anywhere, give me the authority, and a sense of mission.

This badge shows the people that I am trustworthy and I’ll always aim for justice.

We are honorable, humble and represent the justice of our country,

We were the ones who spread blood everywhere.


Our exceptional uniforms, we are heroes who will shed our blood to save anyone.

But instead, we prefer to sacrifice someone else, without a single excuse.

The people who watched me kill them, while they were screaming

Someday I’ll pay for those screams, and for that enormous bruise

I was recognized, for wearing the tight, elegant suit, that was supposed to show my strength.


The flag on my chest representing the pain of the victims I have killed, the victims of state terrorism, and the victims of racism.

The victims of segregation, I and my fellow cops have caused.

The badges that I have to remind me of when in school I won trophies,

Trophies that made everyone clap their hands, congratulating me for such a small prize.

My clothes spoke for themselves, they told the stories of the people about the people I killed,

Policemen painted their part, the people knew what we have done


Got caught red-handed,

Got screamed at a million times,

BOOM! Those were the sounds I heard when I pointed my gun at their head.

While some of them were laying in their bed,

we were making others lie on the floor, covered in red.

The silence that was heard the days after the tragedy,

That silence was the one that pained me the most.

Was I silenced, or did I silence them?

Also, the yellow that represent the city the flag of Bogotá

Have something that made a kind of magnificent

this uniform has a lot of history left to write

God´s Warriors

God´s Warriors

-As a child, god reserved you a special duty to be done

And as you grew up, you accepted that job, with honor

You trained and became stronger than any warrior can become, and for no duty of yours be undone

And then you were armored, with the protection that anyone should have, but only a few can wear, and so, you started your journey, alone

-A helmet was with you, forged with the most resistant iron and metals that can be found in the world

For it when enemies assailed you on the head: Clang! A metallic resonance that announced the enemy, that his attack, was as ineffective as a flamethrower trying to stop a fire

Inside it smelled to your sweat, at the blood that leaked through your armor, at the fear, of you and your enemies, but most of all, to the bravery that you had when you conquered the city or killed your enemy with a fast move, that ended up, with a life, being taken by your sword

-Your armor, with a red cross stained in it, reflected the bravery you fought your battles, and the fear you had, whenever you joined a fight because it could be the last one

The white on the armor, reflected how much you were dedicated to your duty, the more its white color prevailed, the less you were dedicated, the more it turned gray, the more you were

This armor was made for your protection, for it no sword can penetrate your defense, and for the enemies run for their lives, because it was made, to be something to fear, even with the smartest battle plan

This armor, and with your sword, it was a perfect dance couple, and with the armor master, you made a beautiful dance of blood, screams, and victory, repeating endlessly and suddenly, all ended, the dance was over, and your enemies, dead, and at that moment, you realize, you are not the boy you were when you started this journey, you are a man, which was needed to be treated with respect when to him you refer

-But all things come to an end, and soon, the master of the armor, dies, and is taken to the kingdom of god

And then, the armor rotates, to another one, who has been selected, and then the cycle repeats itself, endless, until the armor is too damaged for use, or until it burns into ashes

Don’t let the world forget what your masters have done, the glories they have reached, their failures, and their deaths, and don´t let them forget you, their loyal backboard

Don’t let their memories be forgotten, because it may inspire people, to accept what they are, and achieve what they want, just like your masters, who with you, the armor, their memories flashes

Don’t let the world, forget the glories of the past, and do what you can, to make the world remember, god´s warriors

Hearts & Flags

Hearts & Flags

Prisoners of a furious nation committed to fighting if we need

All the friends who died, now they guide [us] to succeed

Saving our dark green clothes, so we can get home

Swimming through infinite oceans, hoping not to hear a bam

Immortal memories resemble our bright, warm, and loved home

Overwhelming silence gets so loud when we cry to say “goodbye” to our fam

No more than cotton and synthetic fiber, or sometimes nylon and cotton blends

With a comfy shape and colors that symbolize courage and passion, which never ends

In our shoulders, flags, flags that give us power and control over things

The nights are as short as dead, here we are helping [you] to survive

Have you ever experimented fear? We do, all time, but we still fight

Choosing to help, getting dirty, and washing everything once again

Once again cotton dirty full of fear, nylon customs, and a breath of air

Making us fight for freedom, thinking about duty, and confidence in ourselves

Passion in our hearts and love for our flags

A star I would have once back at home, medals, and ceremony on my shelves

Sitting in my place, looking at the end

Singing songs, back in my past, thinking at home

In my dearest friends in uniform, fighting in a dust storm

Oh, holy days, colors, fights, and cries

No more war, no more flags, and no more dies.

Oh Apple,

Your expensive devices,

Make a man get poor,

They are very nice as diamonds,

But when I buy them, I feel like a fool.

Oh Apple,

Your products are so famous,

Once I wished to be an employee there,

To wear that blue comfy shirt,

But a kid with lots of likes always found other things.

Oh apple,

Your uniforms are bright and beautiful,

But that blue color does not help a lot,

Your excuse is that my product is old,

When I bought it 1 year ago.

Oh apple,

When I turn you on at 3 am,

I only see a glass dancing,

Your screen needs to be off at 10 pm,

Cause I will get a headache that will burn my head.

Oh apple,

Your screen breaks very fast,

When I hear a crack from the screen,

It makes me want to travel to the past,

I watched Grey’s anatomy, but this is inoperable.

Bringing Light Out of the Dark

Bringing Light Out of the Dark

The heat gets stronger

Horror surrounds my soul

The air becomes grey

Time goes by

I am lost

I am lost in the shadow

The shadow of the pain

My eyes can’t remain open anymore

Orange flame gets closer

Closer, closer, and closer

Behind the orange flames, a red-figure grows brighter and brighter

I started hearing little steps “pump pom pump”

The red figure grabs me in its arms

And takes me out of the house

It felt as if I were born again, and I could finally breathe

Then I take a closer look at who saved me

The big mask didn’t let me see a face

But that they saved me was a memory that I could never erase

I won’t forget that soft warm arms

That large heavy uniform with delicate strong materials

The Green bright lines which stood out

The helmet with a yellow long line in the middle

It was huge although the head was so little

The shiny colors caught my eye

Bright red transmitting its strength

Bright thin green lines showing confidence

Bright yellow giving me optimism

The jacked almost reached the toes

And although the wind blow

The uniform couldn’t let anyone froze

Cause it was completely warm inside

Huge large pants made the legs look corpulent

Don’t take it bad

But those pants are something that I would never get

At least that’s something that I don’t intend,

What I’m trying to say is that they don’t care

They don’t care if they look like a square

They just try their best to save you

And bring light when you think you would never get out of the dark
