  • LAND OF NAPPY

    by CHELSEA

    The following poem is not true!

    Have you been to the land of Nappy? Where nothing’s perfect, and it is all crappy? There’s men with big nasty feet, and people on bikes down the street, where people take and never give. Well sorry, that is where I live.

  • SAXOPHONE

    by NIAYA

    You can feel the love as
    it goes on

    All the swaying hands
    and bobbing heads

    The room is silent
    not a word to be spoken

    the sounds of the saxophone
    inspiring the broken

    Warming the hearts
    off all the dead souls

    Bringing smiles and showing
    hope

    The saxophone that plays
    It’s so outspoken

    showing the love for
    all of the unawoken

  • A SINGLE CELL

    by AUSTIN

    A single cell, person, all alone and envious,
    Another petal on a dull flower.

    Tons of passing faces in New York City,
    Rushing worker bees, flying very swiftly.

  • THE STING

    by CHRISTOPHER

    Falling, falling from a person’s arm
    like a leaf falling in the wind
    in the middle of fall. Bright, dark,
    I can’t tell. I’m a bee that stung them.
    They screamed, I died wondering
    why I stung them. I might come back
    but don’t know when.

  • DISAPPEARANCE

    by CHRISTOPHER

    You have a pencil, new
    as a fresh pound of cow
    meat, good looking, beautiful.

    Going to school can’t wait
    til you use it, excited, scared
    you might lose it like a mouse

    and its cheese, trying to get
    the cheese and hoping you won’t
    get snapped by the trap but

    then you lose it, you search every-
    where for it, like a bat looking for
    darkness, but then you leave for

    about five minutes to calm down you
    come back and you found it in the
    same area you were searching

    in, so confused, like a fifth grade
    student doing eleventh grade math
    homework.
