Barnacles

Maya Russ Meehan

Tears, Blood, Cuts; Pain. A waterfall of blood running down my knees. Scarred, By my worst enemy; Barnacles. At that time I only thought about, Pain, Hurt, Blood. I never want to see them again, Barnacles. I never want to be in that situation again, Being cut by barnacles. And only feeling; Pain The feeling of knives cutting into my legs. The feeling of an axe cutting down a tree. The feeling of… Pain. Continue reading Barnacles

Jumping into Freezing Cold Water

Emilia Wethman De Almeida

You’re looking at that thing That thing is scary The thing is a haunted house waiting to pop out It’s a big stormy cloud saying “Come to me” As I stand Staring out into that thing We are waiting, For a moment of witness to attach As I face it The wind blows, the waves get bigger, You can feel mother earth leading you to… That freezing cold water!

The First Cheetah

Sadie Raphael

His tail a long furry tube A dull end with the slowest wave Hear a shout in the distance Perked up glass fragile ears Feeling like a shock of happiness Eyes sharp! Pure pearl golden With the light of a thousand suns Watching where you can’t see Over a sanded desert chest Starred eyes all around his body Looking at you looking back in Time Smell a wrenching gleam of joy Bolt, chase, catch While you’re running. Continue reading The First Cheetah

A Beam of Gold

Nicolas Liu

Shining from my open window, Like a ray of pure gold, Sighing a superior light, The moon is jealous. The waves of, A priceless Item, An item you can never trap, Can never keep, Can never have, Can never touch, Can never taste. It is like the most polished gold, But more valuable than any size, Big, Or small. Still, This ray of life Has something, That Gold, Will never find. For this light, Provides Plants, Growth, Life.

Ocean

Hadley Spencer

The ocean waved hello to me as I walked down the beach. The wet sand squishing between my toes.The sound of a thousand rain sticks filling my ears.The wind brushing my hair out of my face.Waves crash down around my ankles, lapping up on the eroded beach.Then pull out with so much force it is like they want to take me with them.I wave goodbye to the ocean as if it were my best friend.The ocean waves goodbye back. Continue reading Ocean

My Cousin

Sydney Romney

It was in his bed that he left me for the gods. I waited and waited til I cried when they told me he died. Pictures of him in a locket. I wish I had one in my pocket. Love and hate are one thing, but loss is something bigger. It was cancer that sent him away and yet cancer still stays. He is family and I will always remember he had the best life in the world. It was 5 years ago and yet it feels like yesterday that he stood next to me. Continue reading My Cousin
