Jija

Isaac Emptage

When I first met my great-grandmother Jija It was when I was four in Kolkata, India I remember the colors, the noise and the rickshaws The many people young, old and poor When she saw me for the first time She gave me a hug And held my hand Her English wasn’t very good So she spoke in Bengali as much as she could And my mom told me in English what she said As we all sat around her on her bed In her room in her nursing home There wasn’t much Just a TV, bed, table and a … Continue reading Jija

Lockdown

Shivan Sood

BEFORE Throwing a tennis ball into a hoop. Dumb Bunnies hoping for a worse Easter next year. Cutting paper, making the Lenape village. Monkey bar challenges, swinging from side to side. Singing Kookaburra group by group. What’s between 1 and 3, hello! I’m in second grade. …when I got lost in the supermarket looking for dad but all I could see was chocolates… Defenders coming towards me and missed kick, butt landing. Playing Horse with my buddies. Catching the red kickball and getting someone out. Getting a ten yard run and dodging the other team. Hitting the tennis ball so … Continue reading Lockdown

Summer

I feel the hot sun on my skin I jump into the ocean and Feel the cold water running on me SPLASH! A wave hits me The burst of coldness on my back Birds happily tweet And sing as they pass my spot on the sand A wave showers my sand castle Bringing it down To nothing The sweet scent of honey brings me back To the sand And soon I am gulping down lemonade And honey treats too! I love summer Don’t you?! Continue reading Summer

When I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night

Abagail van der Plas

My eyes flutter open and I am scared to see. Everything that once was simple has turned into a beast!
 Ghosts are on the walls and mysterious people lurk in the shadows. 
It feels like a dream
. I pinch myself to make sure I am awake. 
I put my foot on the ground, that was a big mistake
. I felt something furry curl around my feet.
 “I might not survive,” 
I think in this dark cave of grief. 
“How will I ever go back to sleep?” 
I hide under the covers scared of what might come next
. And that’s when … Continue reading When I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night
