  • PEACE IN THE WORLD

    by MICHAEL V

    Peace is as good as an ipod filled with music on a long car trip
    Without violence, people will be happy and the world will be a better place.
    Sometimes however, a little force is the answer.
    Too much violence is devastating.
    So strive to be like Martin Luther King
    Who marched to promote peace.
    And when the violence heats up, will you keep your cool?

  • THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT LOVE

    by KYLA

    I. 13 ways of looking at love.
    Through the night and songs from
    Above.

    II. Turning the pages of starlight,
    Unlocking pictures of his might.
    A cunning artist at the sea
    From now until immensity

    III. A treasure chest to conceal a heart,
    So none will ever be apart.
    The swing, the waltz, the tango,
    Reveals a symbolic rainbow

    IV. His eyes are gorgeous,
    They set me free;
    Across my loving memory
    V. Like an ember from the sun’s rays
    He sets my hear on fire,
    It’s love for burning desire.
    There’s not one that betrays.

    VI. It’s crazy how one feels,
    A passion beyond waving teal.
    Roses are red, lavender’s violet.
    So it is ultra, the steel is now silent.

    VII. It’s ineffable what one would do,
    To drown, die, or burn because they
    Love you.

    IX. It’s worth the crime,
    Like Bonnie & Clyde.
    If theft could pay,
    Would you love me?

    X. It doesn’t take a glass of wine,
    Or a box of chocolates, or
    A clock’s chime.

    XI. It’s a charisma you can’t resist.
    Like a siren’s song, It is bliss.

    XII. Jack and Jill will go up the hill
    And then they will fall. Yet they
    Wont break any bones cuz they had
    Fallen in love.

    XIII. Now tis last, the dreams enclosed,
    A sacrafice and a sweet love notes.
    Through the night, songs from above,
    Now you know 13 ways to love.

  • HIDDEN

    by CURTIS B

    Hidden faced. Hidden in places behind this mask,
    nobody understands my pain so don’t even ask
    Or bother because of my mask my father
    Doesn’t talk to me or his daughter. I hide
    My face because of the laughter, the chatter
    The burns my ears from the years of all these tears,
    My fears, exist no more they’ve been slammed
    Shut and locked behind a door.

  • HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CRIMINALS

    by ERIC

    A foundation filled with mirages
    The steps of the future are decrepit
    Fall through with the mistakes made
    Turning in different directions
    Like a painting with a Picasso setting
    A Collage of the past thoughts
    Etched into the walls complexion
    Try to mirror the foundation
    But receive unattainable reflection
    The hallways are ongoing
    And locked doors open with every lecture
    A life lesson learned
    in every sector
    But taking away with the seepage
    From the rotting of the roof
    Depleting the blessings
    Of the house warming gifts of knowledge
    Because of hallucinations embedded
    The skeletons inside the closets
    Are vexing
    Homeowners pay for inspection
    Who wants to live in home like this
    Vacancy of something so tainted since its inception
    Leaves the neighbors so prejudice
    Fence in the house from the sidewalk to the alley
    So no one ventures to peddle
    Near a house filled with a 1000 criminals
    We the people ,who do not visit
    call prison.

  • MARIE’S HALLOWEEN

    by SIERRA

    On 10-29-2013, there was a young woman named Marie, Marie is getting married to her fiancé Luke. Marie has brown-goldish, long straight hair. Her eyes were hazel as a squirrel’s fur. Her eyelashes are long and fluffy as a peacock.

    As they said their vows, after she said, “I do.” Luke grabs his sniper gun and points it straight at Marie and says, “I love you” then kills her. Then runs. People screaming, so terrifying.

    20 minutes later the doors open, smoke coming out of the outside then a gypsy witch grabs her and takes her to her cabin. She cuts open her body, takes out the lungs, stomach, blood, and more parts and she puts beetles juice in her system. She comes back to life.

    She wakes up with a yawn. Marie looks in the mirror and she’s an ugly, barf colored witch. She screams, all windows break.

    She goes into VA graveyard and makes some friends a mummy named Lindsey, a vampire named Dessiree, a skeleton named Allie, a glob named Juelina, and a werewolf named Destiny. She told them about her killer Luke and she thirst for revenge.

    On Halloween night she found her husband Luke and said, “Hello my pretty, remember me.” He was frightened. She grabbed him and went into his throat and grabbed his spin then squeezed green juice out of his head. He was dead but to make sure she stabbed him in the head then rung his head.

    She ran into the street then bang she gets hit by the mean black truck. The truck said death. She woke up as the wicked witch of the West.
