In my second semester with the program, I have seen marked improvement in a lot of student work. It never ceases to amaze me just how thoughtful, heartfelt, and downright stunning the student work is. What\u2019s even more astounding is the fact that these students <\/em>are consistently pumping out high quality poems in such a short amount of time with us each session.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the latest poems and stories with some quality money lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Unknown\u201d<\/a> by Jammonica
\nMoney Line:<\/strong> Music is the sunshine when hail falls to the ground. And cheating death is different than writing songs on a piece of paper.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cPyronormal Vanishtivity\u201d<\/a> by Kyla
\nMoney Line:<\/strong> So he pulled out and drove along the road once more. Isabelle tensed as the sound of police sirens caught the drift of the wind. Fog blinded the windshield as darkness sunk in on the chariot couple.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI Can See Through You\u201d<\/a> by Curtis
\nMoney Line:<\/strong> I may not have the blessing of sight like most people do.<\/i> \/ But when it comes to personality, I can see through all of you. \/ You think that I\u2019m helpless because I don\u2019t have one of my senses. \/ I lost one of my senses, not my common sense.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i>\u201cSteel and Stone Childhood\u201d<\/a> by Eric
\nMoney Line: <\/strong>The lack of working man\u2019s fragrance<\/i> \/ Leaving a woman to bring home the bacon \/ With a child bathed in hatred \/ To run amok in a fathers absence \/ To only to come back after imprisonment \/ To train the child to channel hate into poetic sentences<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Aristotle\u2019s Class of 7\u201d<\/a> by Isiah
\nMoney Line:<\/strong> When I rule the world,<\/i> \/ nothing is going to change, \/ not in the slightest bit, \/\u00a0<\/i>because humanity is doomed to repeat history.<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n
